The life admin checklist
Life admin is easier when it's written down. Use this checklist as a starting point, then let DoneForMe hold the dates so you don't have to.
Every month
- Check utility bills — electricity, gas, water, internet and mobile
- Review credit card and bank statements for charges you don't recognise
- Scan recurring subscriptions and cancel anything unused
- Pay or schedule any bills landing in the next few weeks
- Confirm upcoming appointments for the month ahead
Every quarter
- Check council rates and strata or body corporate notices
- Review insurance policies for cover that no longer fits
- Book overdue health checks — GP, dentist, optometrist
- Service the car or book anything mechanical you've been putting off
- Back up photos and important documents
Every year
- Renew car registration and check roadside assistance
- Compare car, home and contents, and health insurance before renewing
- Review your mobile and internet plans against current offers
- Check passport and driver licence expiry dates
- Gather records ahead of tax time and keep receipts in one place
- Review rental or lease renewal dates and give notice on time if needed
Household and family
- School term dates, forms and payments
- Pet vaccinations, registration and vet checks
- Smoke alarm batteries and safety checks
- Warranty expiry dates on appliances and electronics
- Birthdays and gifts you'd rather not remember at the last minute
