Students often dislike thinking about homework assignments, especially, if the requirements are not clear due to poor record keeping. But homework doesn’t have to be frightening! A well organized list of what needs to get done after school makes a big difference. To help corral your scholastic activities, we offer a Homework To Do List template with priority settings, status tracking, and more.

Template Contents

Below are the worksheets included in this template.

(Homework) Start and Due Dates

A homework To Do list with columns for:

• assignments,
• priority setting,
• start date,
• status tracking,

A status summary is also available at the top right of the page.

(Homework) Completion Dates

This worksheet includes everything on the homework “Start and Due Dates” worksheet, plus an assignment “Completion” date column.

Using the Template

Personalize it.

Enter your student information (where applicable) - Term, Assigned to, and Period. You can also add a personal touch to the spreadsheet title, which comes with a standard title - “HOMEWORK TO DO LIST.” Type directly into the cell containing the standard title to overwrite it with your new title.

If there is any other information you’d like to enter at the top of the To Do list, simply insert a new row to create a new category, as shown below.

Tip: For consistency, use the “Format Painter” tool to copy the format from the rows above.

To view a how-to example, please see this short video:

https://spreadsheetpage.com/images/Homework-To-Do-List-Format-Painter-how-to.mp4

If you prefer to enter your homework To Do list by hand, delete any example assignments, and hit print - our worksheets are already formatted to print on one page.

Managing the List

Each worksheet has space for up to 50 assignments. For each assignment, you have the option to set a priority, start date, end date, completion date, and status, as well as make any notes.

Example. First 3 assignments entered.

Priority settings range from high to low. Each cell in the priority column has a dropdown list where you can choose the priority setting.

Note: If you type in an invalid entry, you will receive an error message.

Start Date and Due Date

Enter a start date and due date for each assignment. This feature of the homework To Do list will help make sure that you don’t miss any assignments, as you hold yourself accountable to complete them.

If you selected the worksheet with “Completion” date, enter the date you completed the assignment as a chronological reference.

Status tracking is another useful tool to keep focused and motivated to get assignments completed. Status options include Not Started, In Progress, Incomplete, and Complete. Make sure to use one of these 4 options from the dropdown list in each cell, in order for results to flow into the “Status Summary.”

Status Summary

The “Status Summary” shows total progress to give you a rough idea of whether or not you are on track on all your assignments.

Note: In order for an assignment to be accounted for in the status summary, it must have a status option listed in the “Status” column. We suggest pre-populating a “Not Started” status for any new assignments on the list.

Freeze Panes

By the time you scroll down to assignment #19, your column headings will disappear. To avoid this issue, use the Freeze Panes option to keep your column headings in place no matter how far down you scroll.

To freeze your column headings, click into a cell under the row displaying column headings. Next, go to the “View” menu and select the first option under the “Freeze Panes” dropdown.

Note: You must be in either “Normal” or “Page Break Preview” view to freeze panes.

To view a how-to example, see this tutorial:

https://spreadsheetpage.com/images/Homework-To-Do-List-freeze-panes-how-to.mp4

New Lists and Historical Records

You might want to have a separate homework To Do list for each subject, or you might want to save old To Do lists for reference. You can organize separate To Do lists on multiple worksheets in one file by duplicating worksheets. To duplicate a previous list, right-click on your preferred To Do list worksheet and select “Move or Copy” from the pop up menu. Next, select “Create a copy” and click “OK.”

Finally, rename new worksheets and edit, as needed.

Expand the List

The overachiever may have more than 50 assignments to tackle. In that case, expand the To Do list! Copy (Ctrl + C) the last row and “Insert Copied Cells” to create more space for the extra assignments.

Note: The print area will surpass one page once new rows are inserted.

To view a how-to example, check out this short video:

https://spreadsheetpage.com/images/Homework-To-Do-List-insert-cells-how-to.mp4

Change Color Scheme

You can modify the color schemes of your homework To Do List worksheets. To change the background color, highlight all relevant cells and use the “Fill Color” tool to select a color. To change text color, repeat these steps and use the “Font Color” tool.

Example. Change the standard green and white color scheme to purple.

We live in a distracted world, making it extremely difficult for most people to stay organized or get things done at home or in the workplace. According to Statista , 46 percent of Americans spend five to six hours checking their phones every day.

With the proliferation of social media and other platforms, it’s easier to get carried away now more than ever.

This is where a to do list comes in. You can keep track of your daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly activities with it. Likewise, you’ll find it easier to reinforce your thoughts. Hence, it will be harder to forget ideas that could be important.

Having a to do list could also serve as a  motivation for individuals and businesses. It allows you to specify what you want to achieve at a specific time and tick them off once done. 

For instance, if as a business consultant you have a goal of appearing on thirty podcasts in a year, you could break this task into an easily achievable to do list of pitching and getting featured on at least two to three podcast shows in a month. Doing this keeps you motivated and forces you to achieve your goal.

In this in-depth post, you’ll learn everything you need to know about to do lists. We’ll also give you access to 37 free, editable, and downloadable to do list templates for Excel, Word, Google Docs, Google Sheets, and PDF.

Let’s get started.

Chapter One: What is a to do List and Why Do You Need One?

Chapter two: to do list templates for excel, chapter three: to do list templates for word, chapter four: to do list templates in pdf, chapter five: to do list templates for google docs, chapter six: google sheets to do list templates, chapter seven: how to create a to do list in excel, word, and google sheets, chapter eight: how to use the to do list template: a step-by-step guide.

Chapter Nine: To do List Templates Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Chapter Ten: Manage Your Team Tasks Effectively Using SweetProcess!

It’s easy to forget things when working on a project. To avoid this, you need a to do list to increase your productivity, prioritize your tasks, and efficiently manage your time. 

Aside from that, a to do list forces you to prioritize your tasks wisely in order of their usefulness. That way, you’ll focus your time and energy on high-value activities, making you more productive and helpful to your team.

What is a to do list?

A to-do list is an essential document for keeping track of business activities. It is a set of prioritized task lists to achieve your daily goals from top to bottom. It helps you keep track of all your projects, including how and when to do them. 

It’s a vital productivity tool that helps you achieve clarity and focus.

When to use a to do list

After deciding what you want to achieve, the next step is to make a to do list to execute the plan. Doing this helps you prioritize your activities better and puts you on track to achieve them. 

For instance, a daily to do list should be enough if you have a few hours to complete a task. 

But if your responsibility is enormous and project-inclined, then you’ll have to plan and prioritize using a weekly to do list. 

With a to do list, you’ll be more organized and efficient with your deliverables. Also, you’ll be less stressed and always remember the next step of each project. 

When not to use a to do list

While it is acceptable to have a to do list, there are some activities where having one isn’t necessary. This is because to do lists are not time-bound. That means you can’t assign specified deadlines to each activity.  When this happens, you defeat the strategy of managing your time.

For example, if you can’t estimate the number of hours required to accomplish a task, you won’t be able to carve a learning curve for improvements. 

Also, if you find yourself avoiding or procrastinating on a particular task, a to do list might not give you the motivation you need to finish it. 

How to make your to do list effective

to do lists are effective in helping you get things done. However, to make your to do list effective, you must divide the list into two sections: to dos and not to dos, respectively.

Daily to dos are tasks that you improve on a daily or regular basis. For example, this daily assignment could be to follow a 15-minute workout regimen or go for an hour-long walk at noon. Your not to dos, however, are those tasks you don’t do, no matter what. You try as much as possible to prevent them from getting into your to do list.

Separating your tasks into to dos and not to dos also helps you set limits on each of them. That way, you can achieve your goal of focusing on the most important things to complete each day. 

If you have a narrow list of tasks that are gradually growing into complex ones, the best approach is to break each complex bit into a simpler form, then spread their execution over a few days.

For every little task that you mark as done, be sure to celebrate those small wins as that can be motivating.

What’s the difference between a to do list and a process?

to do lists and process flows are similar but different.

A process deals with the behavior of a current element being done, which is the series of steps and decisions involved in achieving a task. This may occur once, recurrently, or periodically. A to do list is a list of tasks you want to complete or the actions that you need to perform to achieve a goal. 

Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet tool that comes as part of the Microsoft Office suite of programs. Spreadsheets are rows and columns of numbers that may be changed numerically using simple and advanced arithmetic operations and functions.

Step 5: Check the boxes

Yes, Google has a to do list app called Google Tasks.

Google Tasks is a simple to do list that offers all the features you’ll need to be productive and stay on top of your most critical tasks. It includes checklists, subtasks, and mobile notifications. In terms of both form and purpose, Google Tasks are as simple as it gets. 

This helps you reduce procrastination. For instance, when you launch the app, you’ll see a list of tasks, and you can either examine a current task in greater detail or create a new one.

How do you plan tasks?

Using a to do list is an easy way to plan your task. To do this efficiently, here are some tips for planning tasks.

• Make sure you write out your plan every day.  

This is the utmost and oldest time management trick in the book. It is vital if you want to be productive. Make a list of the most crucial tasks you need to complete. The act of writing your plan clears your mind, allowing you to focus on other things rather than attempting to remember what you want to do.

• Every day, plan at the same time. 

When you plan at the same time every day, you establish a habit. Your mind is conditioned to do the same any day. Good habits can help you stay on track, and you’ve got the option of planning your day the night before or first thing in the morning.

• Get a to-do list. 

Now that you have everything you want to do, put them all on a to do list, then include deadlines or any other notifications that keep you in check. Also, know that you can set tasks as done, in progress, and undone. 

• Refer back to your list often. 

Regularly check on your list of tasks. This will help you manage your time and keep you more organized.

What is the best to do list?

There are many to do list templates, and they offer nearly the same features. To choose the best one for your business, look for one that fits your business goals, is easy to use, and is efficient.

How many items should you put on your to do list?

Depending on the number of things you want to accomplish, you should add all the items to the list and prioritize them. However, your items can be three and above.

Is there a to do list template in Word?

Yes, there is. 

It is called a Microsoft Office to do list. 

This tool allows you to organize your tasks easily. It also lets you note each entry’s priority, due date, what to do, who to contact, actions in progress, and completed fields. You can also use the to do list template as it is or change the style and colors to suit your needs.

Can you use Excel for the to do list?

Yes, you can. This is because Excel has grid layouts that simplify the to do list prioritization. It also has features that allow making a to do list efficient and achievable.

How do I make my to do list?

A to do list is a simple document to arrange activities and execute 

them. Below are the steps to make your to do list:

• Choose the proper checklist app to create the list.
• Make more than one list to cover business, life, and other aspects.
• Write down your tasks as soon as you think about them.
• Include due dates to keep track of your activities.
• Revise your to do lists daily.
• Limit yourself to 3 to 5 tasks daily. By having such limited tasks, you are likely to finish them.
• Always see your to do list as a task and not goals and objectives, and add it as such.
• Make your to do list easy to glance through at once by spacing it well. 

What is the best way to organize a to do list?

There are many ways to organize your to do list. These include:

• Personalize your method to fit your business goals and objectives.
• Have control over your day by listing what you do the night before or early in the morning.
• Place your tasks in priority.
• Separate all categories by dividing your to do list into sections and pages in the long term or short term. It could also be a business, work, or family to do list.
• Do not forget to have your list scheduled at different time frames to keep it on track.

Chapter Ten: Manage Your Team Tasks Effectively Using SweetProcess

You can assign and manage to do lists and tasks for your team members using SweetProcess.

To create a to do list in SweetProcess, you can simply create a procedure for completing a specific task or project in your organization.

Here is how to create a procedure (which can also be a to do list) for your team members in the software.

From your SweetProcess dashboard, click on “Create Procedure” in the top right-hand corner.

Once you do, a new window will pop up, where you can name the procedure.

Let’s say you want to create a daily to do list for your in-house content marketers. The items on the list may include:

• Interview customers.
• Write content for the company’s blog.
• Design images for promoting blog posts.
• Create content for different social media platforms.
• Engage with customers and prospects in the Facebook group.

You can add each of these items to the to do list as steps in the procedure.

After adding all the items to the to do list, here’s what it looks like.

After creating the to do list on SweetProcess, you can use the tool to assign it to employees and manage how they use it.

To do this, the first thing you must do is to navigate to the Tasks column on your dashboard and click on “Assign Task.”

You can choose the specific procedure you want to assign to your teammates from the new window that opens up.

The next step is to select the teammate to assign the to do list and the frequency of the task (once, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly).

After assigning the to do list, it looks like this on the employee’s dashboard.

As you can see, after completing each task, they can mark it as completed.

You can also monitor the progress of the daily tasks by your employees. In the example below, you can see that none of the tasks has started.

Below are examples of companies using SweetProcess to effectively manage their teams’ tasks.

Business Success Consulting Group is a B2B consultancy dedicated to identifying, creating, documenting, and implementing processes, procedures, and policies for companies across various industries. 

They help clients improve profitability and efficiency, get teams on the same page, train effectively, and reduce employee turnover. 

Adi Klevit, the co-founder and CEO of the Business Success Consulting Group, says business owners often express feeling overwhelmed when systematizing their business .

They ask questions such as “Where do I start?”, “Where do I find the time?”, “How do I tackle it?” and “How do I get leadership and staff on board with the initiative?”

She also said, “After all, you don’t want to spend valuable resources creating procedures that aren’t going to be implemented,” and added,

“It takes know-how and ability to create clear and easy-to-follow procedures.”

In the past, some of her clients attempted to document procedures themselves but just never got around to it. 

Some had managed to create binders or documents, but they weren’t being utilized within the company. Adi then observed several common themes as to why businesses failed to be appropriately systematized.

Furthermore, Adi found out that clients spent hundreds of hours implementing systems themselves, often unsuccessfully.

But Adi does not look at the hundreds of hours lost, but rather the lost potential revenue and profit from not having solid systems in place.

She noted: “I have my clients calculate missed opportunities due to poor existing systems. I have them work out the potential revenue that will result from the growth and expansion as well as the lost revenue from a dissatisfied customer or lost bids that could have been prevented from systems. Those are often eye-opening numbers.”

As a consultant , Adi introduced her clients to SweetProcess as a go-to solution. She first came across it when she searched for document management software for a client. When asked whether she was skeptical of the solution, she noted that she was “very impressed” and  also added, “As someone who writes procedures for a living, I was very excited to find this tool.”

Another organization, Neon Buddha , is an original work-to-weekend female clothing brand. 

Established about twenty years ago by Sébastien Sirois, the proudly Canadian company creates a synergy between travel, adventure, and fashion. Travelers can be stylish aboard long flights or train rides en route to their destinations. When they are not in transit, they can go about their daily engagements in an array of designs suitable for different occasions.

At the moment, it has 15 employees. As a fashion brand, Neon Buddha’s workflow involves several processes from idea conception to production and marketing. To service these different aspects, they created a myriad of standard operating procedures (SOPs).

“We are always looking to have as many SOPs as possible. If you want your business to be efficient, having many SOPs for every part is important,” Jonathan Harvey, the chief operating officer, explains.

Having been in business for about twenty years, Neon Buddha understands the ropes of the fashion business. However, its lack of organizational system clogged its operations. After discovering SweetProcess, the organization accelerated its performance in the following ways: 

• They had easy process documentation.

Dealing with tons of SOPs is a handful. There is a tendency for things to slip through the cracks. It gets even worse when you have to manage them manually, as in the case of Neon Buddha, who documented their business processes in Word documents and Excel sheets. One of their challenges in using these tools was the painstaking task of creating a new layout from scratch for every new process added to the list. 

Jonathan stated that “The layout was always an issue. When you want to add SOPs, you basically have to start everything from scratch over and over. The layout was never perfect.”

With SweetProcess, the company is now able to document its processes easily. They can create new processes without breaking a sweat, thanks to its easy-to-use features.

• They also had remote access and user-rights controls.

Accessibility comes after documentation in the business process. Are the documents readily available? In a fast-paced industry like fashion, there is no room for delay. When workers cannot access information about tasks on the go, the production chain is halted. The longer the waiting game lingers, the more resources are wasted.

•  They facilitated collaboration among teams.

Business processes mainly function in a chain. Individual processes make up the workflow , combining inputs from multiple employees. Everyone has to be efficient to tick off items on an organization’s to do list. This is impossible when employees do not have equal working opportunities for projects. 

With the SweetProcess collaborative tools, Jonathan and his team can work together on projects, making valuable inputs toward achieving set goals. As a result, Neon Buddha is now better positioned to scale up quickly and efficiently, establishing its presence worldwide. 

According to Jonathan, “It’s easier for us to scale quickly so we can have people all across the globe. We have employees in the Philippines, Thailand, the United States, and Canada. For us, it’s easier to scale quickly and efficiently with SweetProcess.”

You too can get started with a 14-day free trial of SweetProcess to create and manage to do lists at your organization. The best part? You do not need to add your credit card details to use the software for free.

Conclusion 

to do lists get you started on the right foot each day and help you focus on your most critical tasks. With it, you can improve your productivity and achieve your personal and business goals every single day.

With a tool like SweetProcess, you can manage your team’s to do list tasks better. This helps you to know exactly who is responsible for some specific tasks and when they’re expected to complete them. That way, your team will become more organized and productive.

In this post, you’ve learned about to do lists and why it’s critical to use templates instead of creating them from scratch.

We also showed you 37 to do list templates that you can download, tweak, and use for your organization.

These templates are so beatifully designed, fun🥳, unique, creative, organized, well layed out, pleasing to the eyes👀, pretty, and exactly what you want❗ 😃🤩😍 WHEN LOOKING ON OTHER WEBSITES, ALL OF THE TEMPLATES WERE BLAND, BORING, UNORIGINAL, AND NOT WELL LAYED OUT. It took forever just to find one(that was at least decent looking) that I liked.And after I did find one, it was a hassle to just download, and print it out, due to the unreasonable, and frusterating proccess it required. Other websites with so-so templates tried to charge me an unreasonable price💵, for a low👎 quaility template❗ BUT THAT ALL CHANGED WHEN I WENT TO PRINTABULLS.COM. I was ecstatic to finally find everything that I’ve ever wanted and want in printable templates that I need❗ With nothing but high👍 quaility templates❗ Downloading, and printing them is extremely easy❗ Just click and within seconds your all set🚦❗ Even the name was so fun🥳 and unique! Now is a whole lot easier when I can get exactly what I need, when I need it❗ With printabulls❗ This is my go to (happy😀😃😄😁) place, sure❗I Reccomend it to everyone too❗

Printable To Do Lists | A Collection of Cute, Fillable Forms!

Who doesn’t love a good printable task list? Not only are they a great way to prioritize thoughts, stay motivated on to-dos, and reward yourself upon completion (the best part is crossing items off!), but basic checklists can also be a really effective time management tool when complicated planners, Excel spreadsheets, or color-coded systems are just too much. My collection of printable to do lists is designed to help you stay on top of everything you need to get done in the easiest, prettiest way possible via functional layouts and simple customization. Let me show you!

Table of Contents

Why Use Printable To Do Lists?

While I’ve had periods in my life when I’ve relied on fancy planning systems or daily planners to map out goals, tasks, and big ideas; lately, I find myself needing just a simple, streamlined, fast, and focused checklist to help me accomplish something every day.  (Hello, summertime with kids home!)

Whether it’s making a basic daily plan, a list of errands to run, or a detailed packing list…sure, you can just scratch it all out on a piece of scrap paper.

But having a ready-to-print task list template at your fingertips can help make your planning not just quick, but intentional (and cute) too!

What’s Included In the Ultimate To Do List Printable Kit?

My Ultimate To Do List Printable Kit features 13 different editable, fillable, and changeable to do lists in a variety of colors and sizes, making it oh-so-simple to print off the exact format you need to tuck into your planner, tape up on your refrigerator, or throw into your purse.

Included Layouts

This 14-page download includes:

• Single Category Checklist – 6 sizes
• Multi Category Checklists – 6 full-page layouts
• Weekly To-Do List Templates
• Post-It Note Printing Guide

Colors Included

All the various lists shown in this post are available in both full color and black-and-white.

Editable & Fillable

These printable to do lists come in PDF format featuring editable/fillable text boxes with plenty of space for your errands, tasks, groceries, and more! From the list title down to each line item and the check boxes themselves, every single element can be changed using Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Print & Digital

Since these PDF files are digitally fillable, you can print them out or use them digitally for a completely paperless option.

A Closer Look at the Printable To-Do List Layouts

Single category checklists.

The first 6 checklists included in the Ultimate To Do List Printable Kit are single-category lists. With one (changeable) title and no sub-categories, these pages make it quick-and-easy to create a streamlined, focused list for any singular purpose.

Available in various sizes (e.g., full sheet, half sheet, quarter sheet, etc), these pages are great for printing in bulk and then cutting apart to make a stack of quick-use lists.

Multi-Category Checklists

If you’re looking for a more detailed option, I’ve also included 6 different categorizable to do lists.

From 1-9 different categories, these pages can be used for a wide variety of list-making needs such as packing lists, grocery lists, errands organizer, project lists, and more.

Each page not only allows you to customize the overall title, but also the heading banners atop each category. When you have a lot of information you want to quickly organize on a single page, these layouts are ideal!

Weekly To-Do Lists

Finally, there is a 7-section checklist included in this to-do list PDF. This layout lends itself to organizing schedules, activities, or weekly tasks (as shown below); but because every single element on this worksheet is editable, you can use it for anything you can think of (e.g., vacation planner, outfit planner, etc.)

NOTE: Since all the blocks are editable, you can make this either a Sunday or Monday start!

Editing the Printable To Do Lists

All the pages in the Ultimate To Do List Printable Kit are pre-populated with titles (i.e., “To Do,” “Let’s Do This,” “Get It Done,” etc) with completely blank line items. But if you want to add in your own great title (e.g., “This Week,” “Errands To Run,” “Don’t Forget,” “Books to Read,” “Priorities,” or even specific due dates), you can easily click into the document and type in whatever you want.

To edit the text on the files, open the PDF in the FREE version of Adobe Acrobat Reader. You can then type into any light blue box (title, headings, list items) or toggle the circles on/off.

NOTE: While you can type anything you wish into the text fields, all fonts and colors are pre-set and cannot be changed. 

If you like to make lists (and cross items off) by hand, I recommend just customizing the titles/headings and leaving all the action items blank.

If you like to use digital versions, type into each line item and save/edit over and over as needed!

Printing the To Do Lists

White versus colored paper.

The colorful to-do lists look the best printed onto plain white printer paper.

A fun way to use the black-and-white checklists is to print them out onto colored paper instead. The different colors of paper can help you stay organized by person, task, topic, etc.

Print Then Cut

When printing out the smaller checklists, they are pre-formatted to print several per page (e.g., 2/page, 3/page, 4/page, etc). I recommend editing the titles, printing onto full-size paper, then using a paper trimmer to slice the checklists down on the (included) grey lines.

Printing Onto Post-It Notes

One really fun option included in the Ultimate To Do List Printable Kit is the ability to print mini checklists directly onto Post-It Notes !

Both the printing guide and mini checklists themselves are included.

Start by printing the guide onto plain printer paper.

Next, stick your Post-It Notes to the paper, on top of the dashed boxes.

Following your specific printer’s instructions, load the template (with Post-It Notes attached) back into your printer. This time, select and print (at 100% resolution) just the 6/page checklists from the printable kit (don’t forget to edit the titles as you wish!)

If you lined up everything correctly, you’ll have a set of personalized, customized Post-It Note checklists ready to use anywhere around the home, classroom, office, etc. What a fun way to make categorized checklists by day or family member!

Fun Ideas for These Printable To Do Lists

I’ve sprinkled quite a few ideas throughout this post already, but here are just a few ways I love using a blank to-do list template!

• Daily Tasks/Focus List – Pre-print a stack and use one whenever you need to quickly create a daily to-do list or map out goals for an entire day.
• Weekly To Dos – Use the weekly layout to plan out your entire week, figuring out exactly when certain things need to get done.
• Most Important Tasks – Even if you do use a larger, more formal planner to organize your day, using a small simple to-do list taped into your planner can help you focus in on top priorities for the day.
• Errand List – Use a categorized list, assigning one block to each store; then jot down everything needed at each stop.
• Project Planner – Use one of the categorized lists to break a big project down into stages.
• Grocery Lists – Increase your shopping efficiency by organizing your groceries into shop-able categories that match your store layout.
• Packing Lists – Type each family member into a different section in order to make personalized packing lists for the whole family.
• Task Lists or Daily Chores Lists for Kids – Need to leave a list of tasks for a child to complete when they come home from school? Make a bunch with each child’s name on them and fill out as needed!
• Homework Helper – Does your child have a hard time prioritizing/completing their homework assignments? A quick Post-It list on the front of binders or assignment notebooks can help them stay on task. (We do this for my oldest son when he comes home from school feeling overwhelmed with homework.)
• Party Prep – Have a big event coming up? Use a categorized list to stay on top of food, decor, activities, and more!

Get This Kit!

Oh my goodness Megan… you are my hero!! I have been searching for a simple, beautiful way to keep track of my to-do’s for my new project management job. So glad I just joined your Toolbox! ((Hurries to download the weekly agenda layout…))

Yay! I LOVE hearing that!!!!

Perfect timing! In our house, September is officially known as the month all hell breaks loose because the craziness starts with Father’s Day and doesn’t calm down again until Valentine’s Day. Bring on the mad season!

I just wanted to tell you that I wasn’t sure about the sticky note to-do list…I don’t know, it seemed like a lot of trouble when I could just write the to-do list on the sticky note. Anyway, I went ahead and printed some AND. I. LOVE. IT!!! I am keeping a sheet of them in my desk drawer, grabbing one each morning to list out my top to-dos, easily take it with me when I run errands. Yes, I could just make a list on the sticky note, but it really wasn’t that hard or time consuming to make these, and they just look so pretty and polished. I really love it!

Ha! I think this might be one of my favorite comments, ever! I totally get the initial impressions of the Post It Notes being silly or frivolous, but they sure are SOOOO fun, right?! It makes me pretty giddy to hear you tried it anyway and loved it as much as I do! Thanks for sharing your experience!!! Have a great rest of the week!Megan

Very nice list templates! Everyone with children especially could use this! I had to develop my own years ago when we’d travel with kids. You are providing a valuable product!

Hi~ These lists are terrific! I am having a hard time with Adobe. I downloaded Adobe but now they wont let me use it unless I pay a pretty expensive monthly fee. Is there a way to work with these that is free?

Hi there! The files are 100% compatible with the free version of Adobe Acrobat Reader. What specifically are you trying to do that it’s prompting you to use the paid version? With a bit more information, I can better help!Thanks,Megan
