Default First Time Doing Maintenance

This is the first time I'm doing maintenance for my car. I have a 97 accord ex and I have to do a smog check by next month. So I want a list of everything I should in a complete tune up. I'm almost at 150K. I don't know how to do anything but change fluids so if anyone can give me a list of what to do I can look on youtube and learn. Thank you sincerely.

If you're just doing smog.... make sure the cat converter is working and no CEL lights are on... it depends on how thorough the inspection is to tell you what needs to be done.
