In the day to day struggle to stay on top of our tasks, we often put off the little things that aren’t currently vying for our attention. The days go by and turn into weeks, and weeks into months. We soon forget about them, or something reminds us and we make a mental note, starting the procrastination timer afresh. A simple tip to help avoid this is to mark a small, but important task on your calendar on an already important day. Such as Daylight savings time.
If your like me, you don’t really want to drag a chair across the house, climb up to your smoke detectors, and open the dusty lid to change the battery. To say it’s easy to put off until a later date is an understatement. This year, start a new routine! Go right now and change your batteries on all of your smoke detectors, and CO2 detectors. It might also be a good time to change the battery in your thermostat. Little things like this will help keep your home safe and running smoothly.
