To Do Lists

I have found that keeping a "running" list for the household is essential in managing to-do's and tasks at hand.  This saves time and energy by keeping all of my to do's in one place.  This is nothing new, people have been keeping to-do lists for a long time, I'm merely suggesting keeping them all in one place for easy access and simplification.





What are the benefits of keeping ONE to-do list?

*all your to-do lists are in one place - no searching

*track your progress in one place

*peace of mind - organize your thoughts

*sense of accomplishment (even a simple task gets a check mark)



How to use this list:

*use the philosophy of doing the worst tasks first

*track kids projects and activities

*divide it by different people in your household's tasks

*use it as a shopping or destination list

*separate by home and work tasks

*use it for Monday-Friday and Saturday/Sunday tasks

*laminate and use with a dry erase marker

*use it to organize thoughts/tasks for an event



Here's how I use my sectioned to do list:




I divided it up as HOME, WORK, INSIDE PROJECTS, OUTSIDE PROJECTS, KIDS, and PHONECALLS/EMAILS.  How will you divide up your to do list?  You can go here and grab one!

  4. This would be great to divide between days of the week or family member.. everyday or every person has its own color!
