Get the leaves away. Pitch dirt away and make sure there is at least 8" from siding down to grade. Fix Gutters & downspouts, clear and terminate away from the foundation.
Yep, working on cleanup, leaf removal, Gutters and downspouts will be replaced. Going to fix drainage, lay out landscaping fabric an top with gravel on all 4 sides of building.

I'd pull down the inside paneling first. If the T1-11 is sound, it can serve as sheathing for new siding.
---It's in bad shape when you get close. I thought I might patch it but decided to do it right and take it all down. The building has mice so I'm sure when I pull the insulation out, the t1-11 will be a mess on the inside. I want to start fresh. It's 30 years old.

The steps really don't bother me.
--There is so much shade that I don't want to landscape. Maybe hardscape later on.

How bad is the slab? Moisture may be coming up through it.
---Great shape. Inside is humid but that's from lack of airflow and humidity outside. I've checked the slab and it stays bone dry.
