Bills seems like the best choice, because there are significant negative consequences if it’s not done in a timely manner. I don’t know much about renewing drivers licenses, but the same thing may apply there as well.
The last four things seem demographic-dependent to an extant, so a larger sample would probably be necessary to extract useful results. For example, I might not bother getting my toaster replaced for a while if I ate toast rarely and was otherwise busy—if the toaster’s broken for a length of time, it’s not going to blow up or something.
Negative utility from not taking out the trash doesn’t seem to blow up quickly enough. I don’t turn off the lights when I leave the room, and don’t really think it causes enough negative utility to be worth thinking about (but am not well informed, so may be wrong.)
Upvoted for empiricism.
