01

Subscription audit (10 minutes)

Monthly check: · iPhone: Settings › [your name] › Subscriptions. Cancel anything you didn't use last month. · Scan your card statement for small recurring charges. · Note any free trials and their cancel-by dates.

02

Black Friday: trial sign-up season

Holiday deals often start a free trial that becomes paid. For every trial you start this weekend, write the cancel-by date down today.

03

New year: annual subscription renewals check

Annual plans renew quietly. Search your email for 'renewal' and 'receipt' from last January and decide which to keep before they charge again.

04

Why it works

Subscriptions are designed to be forgotten. A fixed monthly audit is the simplest defence. Each reminder includes the exact iPhone path (Settings › your name › Subscriptions) and a short list of what to check.
