Build a record for each job
Add the filter size, model, or service contact to the task description. Record completion when the work is finished so you can check what happened last time.

Illustrative schedules, not universal maintenance recommendations. Follow manufacturer instructions and adapt intervals to your home, equipment, pets, and local conditions.
Keep the routine going with Donetick.
Once you have chosen the jobs that fit, create a task for each one in Donetick. Set its first due date, choose a recurring schedule, and assign it to yourself or a household member. Use labels to keep related work together.
For calendar-based routines, repeat from the due date. For jobs that should wait a set interval after the work is done, repeat from completion. Mark each task done to keep a record: Basic includes 30 days of history, and Plus includes full available history.
A few more answers.
Does every home need every task?
No. Remove equipment you do not have and add jobs specific to your property. Equipment manuals and qualified service providers should guide maintenance and inspection procedures.
Can I add this whole template to Donetick?
Not automatically yet. Copy this checklist for reference, create a Donetick account, and add the tasks you want with your own dates and recurrence.
Can I change these suggested schedules?
Yes. These are starting points. Choose intervals that suit your household and follow the relevant equipment instructions. Tasks based on conditions or mileage need your own review rather than a fixed calendar interval.
