What are some of the important bike maintenance things that you all do?

sheldon brown's site has some articles for beginners and for repairs, I feel like a basic maintenance article should be there somewhere or on a search engine: https://www.sheldonbrown.com/beginners.html

the scope of "basic" to me feels like it expands at times, but if you read around you can probably find different ideas
