Making To Do Lists Fun

Happy Monday!!!  Since there is nothing like starting off your week organized, I thought that today would be the perfect day to share my To Do list and some other fun To Do lists that I have come across {okay, maybe "fun is not exactly the right word...}  Hopefully they will help inspire you to get your days organized and productive!

So last week I wrote about how I have been doing my To Do lists and cleaning schedule.  I promised to share my daily To Do list that I use so here it is:

You are welcome to download a copy for personal use here.  {If you share it on your blog, please provide a link back to this blog post.} I print them out as a 5x7 and can fit 2 on a page for printing.  They then fit nicely in my little To Do List binder {from the Martha Stewart line at Staples}.

I find it easier {and quicker!} to have the week at a glance when I am writing my To Do list.  If I don't get an item done, I can easily bump it over to the next day.  I also try to keep my list limited to 3-4 tasks.  I list them in priority and really try to do them in that order so that at least the most important items are done.   Fewer tasks keep me more on track and less overwhelmed!

If you don't have a binder, this Post-It Note To Do list from Cornflower Blue is super cute!  I might just have to think of something that I could use this for!

Here are some more examples of weekly To Do Lists {the links are all listed underneath each one}:

Now remember that not one To Do list will work for everyone.  Some people like to have their day a little more scheduled and prefer to write more things down.  A daily page like this one from Life's a Journal might be a better fit. 

Since you will need to use one sheet per day, you may want to place your list in a frame and use the glass as a dry erase board like this one from Eighteen 25.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, just commit to doing ONE thing.  You do not want your To Do list to paralyze you!!   We can all do one thing, right?

Oh, and in case you would like to print a little To Do list for that special someone in your life, here's a great one from Vale Design.

So the point to all of this is, there are MANY ways that you can organize a To Do list.  Just find one that works for you and stick to it!

I hope to see what you have all been working on tomorrow night at The Creative Spark.  Come on out and link up your projects!  If you are a fan of lists {or just really need some organization in your life!}, I am having a fabulous giveaway that you won't want to miss!

Wishing you all a wonderful week!
