Things You're Forgetting to Do Regularly But Shouldn't

There are actually quite a few things that should be on a regular maintenance list, because they’re truly important and too-often overlooked. So, make your list and check it twice – here are all of the things you’re forgetting to do regularly…but shouldn’t!

Water your plants. Coming from the two dead orchids and one dead African violet in my office.

Check your gas tank, oil, and tire pressure. Add “check oil” to the week’s to-do list, and double check your tire pressure, especially when the weather changes!

Get your dryer vents cleaned. No, we're not talking the little lint sheets you clean out between dryer runs. You have to get the actual vents cleaned professionally.

Check your smoke detector.  Does yours have batteries right now? Do they work? Better safe than sorry, ALWAYS!

Check your credit score. Credit – and your credit score – can impact whether or not you’re approved for a loan for a car, or a mortgage once you’re done with renting. It simply communicates to banks whether or not you’re a “trustworthy” liability to receive lent funds, by indicating how likely you might be to pay them back and pay them back in a timely manner.

Invest in Credit Repair if Need Be. Credit repair is always worth considering if you’re a good fit for it. While you’re never guaranteed free money in the credit repair process, you may be eligible for funds back if you’ve been victim to things like identity theft, student debt, medical debt, divorce, or military leave and your credit has been negatively affected by it.

Check expiration dates on medication, beauty products, sunscreen, and pantry food. Every single one of the aforementioned things DOES expire – and can harm you if you don’t abide by those dates. Make a list and check it twice, to ensure everything that goes in and/or on your body is still good!

Change your water filter.  In your fridge, in your pitcher filter, and/or in your Keurig.

Change your pillowcase every night.  Or at least every other day! Might sound extreme, but that’s what experts recommend given how much oil, sweat, and even dirt can build up on your pillow from daily use.

Get your homeowners insurance up to date with your belongings. Especially if you’ve recently invested in anything bigger or of higher value – you can never be too careful in case of emergency!
