Home maintenance gets messy when everything stays in your head. You remember “AC service ho gaya tha kabhi” but not when. A simple tracking system makes life easier.
You don’t need fancy software. A basic notebook, Google Sheet, or note app is enough. Create columns like: item (AC, geyser, purifier, painting), date of service, what was done, cost, and next due date.
Each time someone comes to fix or service something, quickly write it down. Note brand and model numbers once in the beginning, so you don’t have to search manuals every time.
You can also take photos of bills and stick them in a digital folder: “Home Maintenance”. Combine that with a simple reminder system—calendar alerts for “AC pre-summer service” or “purifier filter change due”.
Over time, this record helps you see patterns: which appliance is giving too many problems, which service provider did a good job, and when something might be nearing replacement age.
It also helps when you move or sell. Being able to say “AC serviced every year, last service in April” builds buyer confidence or makes your landlord happier.
