Tips & Tricks Tuesday: Using repeats for renewals

It’s that time of year again—time for that renewal you lost track of. It’s easy to do! But with things like ID and passports, timing can really matter.

This week’s tip from alan.porter will help you prevent that: with the right repeats, you’ll stay updated on your renewals of all types.

I created a list called “renewal” where I record the dates when I need to renew things: my driver’s license, passport, annual subscriptions to newspapers, and even my RTM subscription.

Since these things happen yearly or less often, it’s pretty easy to forget about them. But RTM will remind me when they’re coming up.

It looks a little funny to see a list where the items have due dates 2 or 3 years from now. But it’s comforting to have all of those dates in one place, so I know I won’t forget and let one lapse.
