Guide
When was it last done? Know whether it actually needs doing.
See the latest real completion so recurring household work is not repeated too soon or forgotten for too long.
The same memory gap causes two opposite problems
Some household jobs get forgotten for too long. Others get done again because nobody remembers that somebody already handled them.
For couples, families, roommates, or anyone sharing a home, the useful starting point is the same: when was this actually last done?
Bedsheet change
The latest real completion makes it obvious that this 30-day task now needs attention.
Use the latest real completion as the reference point
Done When records each completion and keeps Last Done visible on the task. That gives the household a shared fact instead of another guess.
When completion-based recurrence is useful, the next cycle can start from the latest canonical completion instead of from an assumed calendar date.
Where Last Done prevents unnecessary repetition
Typical examples include changing bed sheets, replacing filters, cleaning a coffee machine, descaling appliances, deep cleaning, watering less-frequent plants, or checking household equipment.
The goal is not to schedule more work. It is to know whether the work actually needs doing now.
