Planning for Success: Schedule Your Annual Home Maintenance – Day 7

January 7, 2013 by Tracy

Planning for success - Day 7

Knowing that a successful year will not materialize on its own, we must plan and prepare for a prosperous 2013.

Throughout the 31 days of January, I will choose one topic each day to prepare or schedule for this year.

Without preparation, I know I will forget, miss, or overlook certain items. If you desire an organized year, then join me in this adventure of Planning for Success for a prosperous 2013.

To receive a daily e-mail around 11:00 a.m. with the new posts of each day, subscribe to my free daily newsletter. In case you miss a post in this series, I will provide the link to each day as the month progresses. 🙂

Day 1: Select a Planning Tool

Day 2: Add Your Priorities

Day 3: Print and Display Your Menu Planner – with free printable

Day 4: Record Membership Expiration Dates 

Day 5: Mark Due Dates for Monthly Bills

Day 6: Insert Credit Report Schedule

Day 7: Schedule Your Annual Home Maintenance

Getting these items on my calendar is lifting the weight of trying to remember all these details. By writing them down and assigning them a day or a month, I have plan. Though that plan might change, I know that the information is documented. If I find conflicts, then I can just reschedule.

In progressing on this planning for success journey, I am adding annual home maintenance items to my calendar. If I don’t add these items to our schedule, then I will forget. These items are needed, but quickly escape my mind.

The annual home maintenance items added to my calendar include the following:

    • HVAC cleaning
    • Pressure washing
    • Termite inspection

Your annual home maintenance items might also include:

    • Lawn and garden treatments
    • Pest control

By adding these items to my calendar, hopefully, I will get these services completed in the correct season this year. I have had the spring HVAC cleaning done in the summer for the past two years. With the reminder on my calendar at the end of winter, I hope to get my air conditioner and furnace serviced on time this year. 🙂

In planning for success, schedule your annual home maintenance in the recommended season. With a written reminder on your calendar, you can concentrate on your priorities and address these services at their appropriate time. Happy scheduling!

Question: What annual home maintenance items did I miss?
