I recommend getting a white board and putting it on your wall, write your to do list for the day there, it’s super helpful

For school, I would write my lists like an outline, indented like this:
read 4 chapters of this
____ 2 pages of that
____ Mary Wollstonecraft's "Vindication of..." (due Mon)
write essay (due Friday @12)
____ 2 responses to peers (due Thursday @11)
____ forum response (due Wed)
or something like that. But separating what I had to read and what I had to write, and further separating it per class was super helpful for me. I also had a mini weekly calendar at the bottom corner of the page where I color coded all the due dates so I wouldn't get confused. It was super helpful. Hope my system helps someone else too!

I started a to-do list system that has worked well for me the past few years. Like the video suggested, I try to keep my task list limited to 10 items. For those items, I create checkboxes, and put a dot in the center of the box for items I must do today. This helps me prioritize and see what has to be done today at a glance. If I begin a task and don’t complete it, I shade in only half the checkbox - to show it’s still in progress. Then when it’s fully complete, I shade in the entire box. It’s a very simple and efficient method and keeps a clean page of only checkboxes and task descriptions.

The tip to color code a to do list with highlighters is a game changer for me.

I wish my handwriting was that beautiful and neat 🧡

Buy vertical-lined index cards or in a pinch, blank ones. I use them with a index-card holder by Oxford with a pen holder for personal stuff or Levenger if I am in a professional setting. Easy to keep track of and infinite possibilities. I do use washi tape and stamps on them when they need to grab my attention. I also use the pocket post-it’s to hold cards in folders, notebooks or iPad/tablets.

I loved this !!! tbh I mostly struggle with knowing how to break down tasks into smaller to-do's for my checklists 😅 thanks jetpens!!

[jahayrac]

Love all these tips! 😍
At 5:00 you gave me a great idea on how to re-purpose some items on hand. The Sun-Star Lightia memo pad is beautiful but as I'm a stationary hoarder I can't buy anymore this year lol But I'm thinking of putting my sticky pad propped up on a phone holder to keep things in plain sight on my desktop. There's something about having a standing notepad I think will keep my focus/ attention.
Thank you for all the wonderful ideas!

[fedassignment]

Thank you for this. I learn more about planning. I hope to support you more.

[navyasharma]

The tips helped so much! And the bloopers at the end were so funny even though I thought that that list was aesthetic
Haha thanks a ton Jetpens!

[thesparkypilot]

I really like this. I have a job with so many small tasks to keep track of that it can be a real challenge. This helped a lot!

[happymondayart]

This was such a cool video! I need help with getting more productive and getting all my stuff done, so thanks for this video!!

Before I had a dedicated planner I used to get notepads from the dollar store and do my checklists for daily tasks in there.

[nasiris]

Best suggestion - keep your list in sight! I have so many lists but they're somewhere I can't find :(

[worksofhands]
