What goes first: the bed made, the proper meals, the clothes with buttons?

Nobody Coming Round

You have a house to yourself for a month. Nobody visiting, no deliveries, no video calls. No one will see the state of it or the state of you.

What goes first: the bed made, the proper meals, the clothes with buttons?

Then ask

  • What would you keep doing anyway, with nobody there to see it?
  • If your habits change when you're unwatched, which set is you?
  • Week three, what's the first thing you'd start doing that would worry someone?

The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
