Jobs & Benefits
Health coverage, retirement plans, workplace insurance, leave and employment records.
Open Jobs & Benefits →Once a year, take a broad look at the important parts of your life and ask a simple question: is this area current, does it need a closer look, or has something changed enough that action is needed?
This is an organizational review, not professional legal, medical, financial, tax or insurance advice. Use the linked guides and appropriate professional resources when a specific life area needs deeper attention.
Set one status for each life area.
Give each area one status. Use Current when it looks good, Review when you want to look closer, Update Needed when you already know something requires attention, and Not Applicable when the area does not apply to your situation.
Each card links back to the deeper Have These Now guide for that topic, so your annual review can become a practical action plan instead of a pile of vague reminders.

The goal is not a perfect score. The useful outcome is knowing what you can leave alone and which areas deserve your attention next.
Areas you reviewed and believe are in good shape right now.
Areas worth checking more closely before deciding if changes are necessary.
Areas where you already know something needs attention.
