Tip # 22 Procrastinating can lead to major house repair bills
There are certain appliances we take for granted. If routine maintenance isn’t exactly one of your favorite hobbies, motivate yourself by saying procrastinating can lead to major house repair bills.
Here’s an example: the water heater was working fine until one cold winter morning, everyone started shouting “There’s no hot water!”
Experts say that water heaters need to be checked once every two years. Deposits collect at the base of the heater over time, interrupting with the smooth operation of the heating coils. Why wait for it to break down, necessitating costly repair or replacement bills?
Prepare a check list of appliances that need to be inspected and ensure that your maintenance records are in order.
Tip # 23 Healthy eating – plan the menu ahead of time
Procrastinating leads to fast food. We can prove this easily. Last weekend, you ordered pizza and cokes for the family because you didn’t have time to cook.
You vow that from now on, your family will eat only healthy meals. You decide to shop for ingredients early in the week. The weekend’s here and nothing was bought, because you kept putting it off.
Tip # 24 Oh, what a slimy garden…
The garden is one part of the house where everyone loves to spend nice summer evenings. But spring arrives and no one dares to stay in the garden because it’s unkempt. Someone’s got to pick up the shovel and the pruners soon; include the garden in your list of tasks for next spring. Remember to share the work: let someone take the lawn, someone else take the flower beds, another member the fence, and so on. Make it a communal effort.
