Living also doesn't understand why a recurring appointment for each task is not enough. Financial stuff then with Excel.

Maybe he means things you notice but like to forget again?

Clean the [Regenrinne]
Repaint the [Dachkasten]
Flush the backwash filter at the house connection

Don't believe that JIRA helps much with that. Some clients are enthusiastic about it, but it annoys me. JIRA is ultimately nothing more than a tool where you enter deadlines for when something is due and add comments to it.

That makes sense in large projects, but for the few appointments you have to keep at the house, a recurring calendar event is enough.

What's so special about regular maintenance? Who needs an appointment to sweep the leaves out of the gutter? You do it when the gutter is full, not on fixed dates.

A sheet of paper, a pencil, a ruler. If it is to be modern, you can order it on the internet.

I'll take a vinyl record and a piece of wood...

Thank you very much for the additional input here.

Exactly, for me it's more about the topics from Reggert and I would like to reduce the mental load. Sure, I walk through the garden and see everything that needs to be done, but if it is not planned at the beginning of the week, nothing happens.

The tips regarding scheduling through "ToDo apps" are great, but I have decided for myself to separate that from the other private appointments/organizational chaos. Rather, I am practically looking for a "place" for all matters concerning the home. Ideally in a standalone app/portal with functions such as:
- Maintenance overviews and scheduling
- Tips for smart home and energy saving potential based on my house information
- Development of property value
- Storing/scanning/photographing documents related to the home (invoices, etc.)
- Task distribution among partners
- Favorite craftsmen list
-...

Am I making rocket science out of this or do you also see added value in it?

Have a nice Sunday,
Carsten
