There’s no need to worry about being careless and forgetting to pay the bill. Just have it set up so it automatically withdraws from your checking account.
My kids take pictures of checks and deposit them that way. That’s one thing I haven’t quite brought myself to do - I’m old school in still using the ATM for that!
(Edited: I mean the occasional personal check, like from a relative on their birthdays. Obviously work checks are all auto-deposit.)
