But first, let’s get all the optional things outta the way:

• Spring clean
• Match all the kid’s clothes
• Book in a sheitel appointment
• Beg your cleaner for just a few more hours, ‘I’ll pay double! Triple!’

(Calling your mother-in-law to wish her a good yom tov is not optional. Sorry)

THURSDAY

Things that need to happen:

• Taanis bechoros (fast of the firstborn)
• Bedikas chametz (search for chametz)

Things that need to be prepped:

• Post-fast arrangements (siyum/break-fast) for the taanis
• Wrap 10 pieces of chometz
• Chametz in a box, ready to be burned the next day

Tip: Don’t wrap the chometz pieces in foil, it won’t burn in the fire, rather wrap them in a tissue or napkin (no cling wrap, when plastic burns it creates harmful toxins)
