Re: How Do You...? To Do List

No lists for me---I have no smarts for making or even checking the lists I do make--not in my DNA---I put everything on my calendar over my computer or I use the Alexa app so I can yell at that little baby from where ever I am in the apartment. It goes to my phone so I can check there.

Re: How Do You...? To Do List

I keep a list on a steno pad and cross things off as I do them.  End of the day or next morning, I transfer uncompleted tasks to a fresh page and toss the other page.  Items can "carry over" to the next day's page.  Super important things go on the calendar and the list.

This is what I tend to do.

 

Today's list:

Clean out the fridge

Wash sheets & towels

Finish taking down the Christmas tree (which I started yesterday).  Clean up all of the fallen needles and have DH put the decorations away.

Re: How Do You...? To Do List

I keep it simple.  Paper and pen/pencil for grocery lists.  If I forget something for the list, no biggie.  We ride our bikes to the grocery store practically every day.  If I have to go back, that's that much more excersize I get.

 

Appts get written on a calendar and put on phones.  Doesn't trip me up to use both.  Usually I take a pic of calendar (it's actually a day planner, month at a glance) so we have them on our phone, also.

 

If I think of something when I'm out and about, I'll text it to either my husband or one of my kids and tell them to remind me.  lol

Re: How Do You...? To Do List

Old school. I put on paper the night before, what I will do or go the next day. Scratch off as it is done.

Sometime I will put things for the whole week on each page for the days.

Gets it out of my head thinking about what I have to do and when.

Re: How Do You...? To Do List

Years ago I used to get Martha Stewart's magazine.

 

She had a calendar of what she needed to do.  Mind you, I'm not running a farm.

 

It would say things like *June 4, plant sweet peas or July 1, pinch back geranium buds*.  Some things cracked me up like *spread horse manure at base of neighbors driveway*.

 

Just kidding about the last entry.
