What things in life require daily maintenance?

As I've mentioned, my wife and I are expecting a baby soon.  This new arrival has caused some upheaval in our life, making it more difficult to accomplish all those simple daily tasks that maintain our home.  It leads me to wonder what things require daily maintenance.  I thought I'd brainstorm a list.  Feel free to comment with your own.

Dishes
Bathing
Spiritual renewal
Compliments
Exercise
Laundry
Cleaning
Expressing gratitude
Making peace
Saying "I love you."
Writing in a journal
Flossing

Funny thing is, as I wrote this, I compared to what I actually spend a lot of my time doing daily.

Checking email
Checking the news
Texting/phone apps/instant messaging
Complaining about the weather
Complaining about co-workers
Watching TV/movies

Which list would make you happier?  Are you allowing your habits to make you unhappy?
