Tips & Tricks Tuesday: Maintenance around the house, Remember The Milk style

It’s hard enough to keep up with home projects, but all those other maintenance tasks are waiting too!

This week’s tip from pjean suggests using repeating tasks and notes to keep track of those as well, so everything keeps working long into the future!

It’s always easy to forget regular home maintenance items (change air filters, test smoke detectors). As I find regular items, I enter them into RTM with a due date and recurrence to make sure they aren’t forgotten. I put the detailed instructions in the notes for more complicated tasks or where I might need details on parts to pick up when I’m at the store.

I’ve done the same for oil changes for the car and hope to build more maintenance items into that list in the future.
