My Volvo forum has a thread like this. It's like a chat thread where we post our current work in case anyone cares to comment. It builds community as we keep track of what we're all doing and helps inspire or remind others to do similar jobs.
Today, I did my first maintenance on my new-to-me 2016 E350 4Matic wagon. I removed a wheel and put on the spare, had a nail removed from the tire, then reinstalled the wheel. The lug bolts were so tight that one caused my American made Craftsman 17 mm socket to crack. I resorted to using the included lug wrench with a two foot metal pole on the end to remove them. I finished reinstalling the wheel in the dark in 32 degree cold.
