It’s June, you’re digging through your pantry and you find a box of pumpkin spice bread mix. Expired two years ago.

Or maybe your furnace is acting up and the repair man asks when the last time you changed your furnace filter was and you can’t even remember (but you check your Amazon order history in secret later to discover it was 10 months ago).

Or maybe it’s March 2nd and suddenly you realize that spring break is in two weeks and you have nothing planned, not even a swimsuit to speak of, and a house full of stir-crazy family members that need sunshine or they’ll go crazy.

If any of those hit home, or if you just feel like you never remember important tasks for your home or family and are always playing catch-up to send gifts or plan events or clean and organize the house- this is for you.

I spent hours researching (and a year perfecting and double checking) to create the most exhaustive month-by-month list available of essential tasks for your home, family, and life. Even Martha Stewart’s resources don’t compete (but I still love you, Martha!).

Over the years, I’ve learned that part of being an organized person is setting up systems of reminders so that I don’t have to actually remember everything.

It’s too much. And it’s too hard to keep track of things like furnace filters if you’re relying on your memory alone.

This list takes all the work out of it for you. The only thing you have to remember is to look at this list each month and add unique tasks & events to your calendar immediately when they come up (don’t expect yourself to remember to do it later). It’s building that system into your life that you add things to your calendar (or however you manage to-dos) and that you look at it daily to stay on track. That’s a muscle that’s easy to build when you don’t have to remember all these other things.

I’ve included:

Household maintenance & gardening reminders

A deep cleaning schedule so spring cleaning doesn’t last until July

Family reminders about doctor’s appointments, holiday cards, and travel plans

Personal and professional goal setting prompts and reminders

A whole-house organizing schedule if you can’t do it all at once

And, of course, more.
