You can set to auto-renew, or you can use a calendar.  I don't like
automatic charges and avoid them when possible, so whenever I renew one
of my domains, I put the expiration on my calendar with several advance
notifications.

Plus, if you are following the rules and keeping up-to-date contacts,
you should get email notifications from the registrar before expiration.

I have other things that I'm expected to renew without prompting (my
state driver's license doesn't send notifications for example), so I
guess I'm just used to keeping up with things myself.
