Creating a Home Calendar

As we approach 2021, what do you do to prepare for the New Year? For some people, buying a new calendar and copying over all the birthdays, holidays and family anniversaries from the old calendar becomes almost an annual ritual.

Whether you use a classic printed calendar or have moved to a computerized one, you may want to add something else to your planning for next year – home maintenance.

No matter what type of flooring you have, it’s a good idea to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for cleaning and sealing your home products. Granite countertops also need regular sealing to stay beautiful and reliable.

In the bustle of everyday life, it’s easy to let these events slip far beyond their due date. By adding them to your calendar now, you have the opportunity to keep up with your home’s maintenance needs. Make it extra easy on yourself by adding in any contact information so that it’s easy to make the call when the requirements show up on your calendar.

So don’t force yourself to remember all the things you do to keep your house at its best – write them down, scheduling those maintenance requirements to work well with the seasons and your other plans for 2011.
