In the interest of bringing better organization to my life, I typed “post it to do list” into Pinterest. (And, let’s face it, I also wanted to play around with my brand new Pinterest account!)There were a lot of great ideas on there, including this one, which ended up being basically what I did, except that I put mine on poster board instead of a chalk board.

While I was standing in the middle of the Wal-Mart office supply area, a really friendly employee walked up and asked if I was looking for something specific. I told her I was trying to put together some sort of Post-It to-do list, and she gave me a couple suggestions. After brainstorming with her for about five minutes, this is what we came up with:

I color coded the main categories where I usually have things to be done: my blog, school, home, co-op, and misc. It’s super easy to add new items and take down the ones you’ve done. If I do things out of order, it doesn’t bother me, since I have the ability to move the Post-Its around. (I have always disliked having a #3 item crossed off of a list before a #2 item!)

I love that now I have a visual of what I need to get done. Having a list of things to cross off is helpful for me if I have things that need to be done immediately and in a certain order, but it doesn’t help me to remember the things that need to be done at some point in the near future. Now I can have the best of both worlds!

    1. I’m so glad! I was always the girl in the office whose boss had to tell her to move her post its to a notebook or something instead of having them all over my computer monitor!

  1. Keeping our tasks organized like this at home can be challenging, and looking at the colorful chart you came up with I can’t help but think of how helpful this can really be. Will share it with my wife, I am sure she’ll love it.
