+## My sunday checklist
+
+Keeping an eye on the node is important, but I haven't put much structure into
+it. I enjoy messing around with it, but I don't want to develop and addictive
+habit of checking on it all day long.
+
+So, I have decided to:
+
+- Set up an automatic monitor with uptime kuma that will trigger warnings if
+  the service stops working.
+- Keep all the node-chores for sunday afternoon and just breeze through them.
+
+To support the second point, here is my checklist of chores:
+
+- Check transactions and forwards. Put any that happened into the accounting
+  book.
+- Buy any grocery vouchers that are needed.
+- Send any BTC from other wallets into here that is needed.
+- Check the uptime statistics of all my channel peers in thunderhub. Judge if
+  any of them should be removed because they are behaving like shit.
+- Open channels/swaps in lnplus if necessary.
+- Check up on 1ml to see how well is the node ranking.
+- Check up on lightning terminal to see how is the node being judged.
+- Check up on lightning pool to see if it's finally T1.
+- Check that uptime kuma is running properly.
+- Check if there are any relevant umbrel updates.
+- Check the content of the lightningnetwork and umbrel subreddits.
+- Put anything relevant in the accounting book again.
+- Backup the channel states.
