Vacation Home Shutdown Checklist Generator
The generator should ask what exists in the household before suggesting tasks.
Inputs
- trip length;
- pets/plants;
- house sitter or empty home;
- deliveries/mail services;
- home type;
- climate concerns selected by user;
- scheduled service during absence;
- household display/security preference.
Output
Group tasks into:
- 3-7 days before;
- day before;
- leaving the house;
- sitter/trusted-contact handoff;
- return-home follow-up.
Safety rule
Do not instruct users to shut off utilities, alter heating/cooling or disable security systems based on generic assumptions. Instead say “review the appropriate setting for your home/building and season.”
CTA: Save the final version as a reusable travel template, then edit it after each trip based on what you forgot.
