Days and times are the pack's own. Change any of them after you add it.
- Monthly admin hourEvery month on the 1st at 10:00One hour: open the letters, pay or schedule the bills, scan anything worth keeping into one folder, and look at what renews in the next 60 days.
- Check the passportsEvery year on 15 JanCheck every passport in the house. Many countries want six months left on arrival, so renew on ICA's website when one is within a year of expiry.
- File income taxEvery year on 15 MarLog in to myTax Portal with Singpass, check the pre-filled income and reliefs, and file before 18 April. On the No-Filing Service, just check the figures are right.
- Bank alerts and passwordsTwice a year, from 1 AprTurn on transaction alerts for every card and account, check which devices your Singpass and banking apps trust, and change any password you reuse.
- Road tax and car insuranceEvery year on 1 MaySet this to your road tax month. Renew the insurance first, pass the inspection if one is due, then renew the road tax on OneMotoring.
- CPF nomination and willEvery year on 1 JulCheck your CPF nomination is made and up to date (a will does not cover CPF savings), and that your will and Lasting Power of Attorney still match your life.

Yes. Copy it as a checklist or print it, with no sign-up. Adding it to Palby Planner, with the reminders, needs an account.
Link WhatsApp or Telegram and a message arrives at the routine's time, or at 10am if it has none, but only if it isn't done yet. Tap Done, snooze it, or mute that routine.
Yes. Every routine is yours once it's added: rename it, move its day or time, or delete it. Untick the ones you don't want before you add the pack.
Type it in one line, like "stretch daily at 9pm", and it becomes a routine with that day and time.
