How often should you service your lawnmower?
Grumpty's answer
Every 12 months
Why bother
Old oil and a fouled plug make it a pig to start. A thorough-tier job. Skippable when life's busy, worth it when it isn't.
Why it's a range
Big lots or dusty work want a mid-season touch. The plug can go two years.
When to start thinking about it
Give yourself about 7 days' notice. That's when Grumpty starts grumbling, so it doesn't land on you the day it's due. Mark it done and Grumpty sets the next one, every 12 months, so you can go back to forgetting it exists.
Let Grumpty remember it for you
Add it once. Grumpty tracks the date, grumbles when it's due, and rolls it forward the moment you mark it done. No spreadsheets, no sticky notes, no forgetting.
