Why these dates matter

Many everyday tasks are tied to fixed deadlines. Tax filings and open enrollment windows can affect your finances for the entire year. Daylight saving time shifts can change work schedules, childcare drop-offs, and travel plans. Federal holidays influence bank hours, mail delivery, and school calendars. Tracking these dates in one place helps you avoid missed deadlines and last-minute surprises.

Use the countdowns as a planning tool. If Tax Day is approaching, schedule time to gather documents and review your withholding. If a holiday is coming up, plan for changes to business hours or shipping timelines. If daylight saving time is near, adjust sleep routines or reminders a few days early. Small adjustments made early can save stress later.
