Questions about the life skills checklist

Start with the ones that protect your options: a budget and an emergency fund, credit in your own name, the screenings for your age, a trip sharing habit, two-factor sign-in, the water shutoff and the breaker panel, a tire change, and hands-only CPR. The starter 20 life moment collects them in one list.

Find and close the main water valve, reset a tripped breaker, clear a drain and a toilet, stop a running toilet, use a drill, find a stud, hang something heavy safely, patch small holes, test the smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, and know to leave first and call from outside if you smell gas.

Keep credit and at least one account in your own name, know every account and debt in your household, build an emergency fund, claim any retirement match, read a lease before signing, and check your credit reports. None of the money guides tell you what to invest in; they explain how things work and what to ask a licensed professional.

Mostly habits set up once: a door and window check that works in a rental, initials rather than a full name on the mailbox, a plan for an unexpected knock, a neighbor who has your number, trusted contacts on your phone, trip sharing with a friend, and working alarms. The living alone safety checklist guide walks through each one.

It depends on your age, history and country, so treat any list as a starting point for a conversation with your clinician. The health screenings by age guide summarizes national preventive guidance by age band, with the date it was reviewed, and the card page lets you record your own screening dates.

Check tire pressure monthly, change a flat on level ground, jump start in the right clamp order, read the dashboard lights, keep an emergency kit, know what to do if you break down alone, and read a mechanic quote line by line before you approve it.

There is no number to hit. This list has 223 skills, and most people learn them as life asks for them. Pick a life moment that matches where you are, or learn today's skill each day; at one a day you would cover the whole list in about 7 months.

Yes. The men's list is a separate sister site, EveryManSkills at everymanskills.com. Some essentials are the same for everyone, like CPR, a flat tire and a budget: 45 of the 223 skills here are shared essentials, written with their own examples and quizzes. Most skills are different, with more on health literacy, personal and digital safety, money in your own name and life admin.

Yes. Every one of the 17 areas has a print page with one line per skill and a box to tick, and skills you have marked learned print with a tick.

No, and it never will be. Every guide, every quiz, today's skill, the master list and the area pages are open to everyone, and no paid plan is offered at present.

No. It is general information for learning. Every guide says when to stop and call a professional and gives questions to ask them. In an emergency call your local emergency number, 911 in the US; for a mental health crisis in the US call or text 988.

The guides are written in our own words from public guidance, named by type with the date each was reviewed. EveryWomanSkills is not affiliated with, endorsed by or produced by any government agency, health or safety body, professional association, publisher or brand.
