I like to write down each and everything that needs my attention, no matter how small. Under ‘Notes,’ I like to write down things I am waiting on: e-mails without which I can’t continue on projects, for example, or phone calls, or packages that are due to arrive in the mail — anything I need to finish my tasks that isn’t here yet. This document has two pages: the first page has ‘Notes,’ and the second is all lines.

I have more versions, including PROJECTS and SOMEDAY*. I posted the photo above** showing how I use them in conjunction with a customized grocery list and a weekly menu to keep my ship shipshape — check it for notes and a closer look.

If enough people (i.e. popular+1) request, I could throw the other versions up on the site, too. Otherwise you can marvel at my ability to draw straight lines in Pages. It is quite amazing.

*SOMEDAY pad now available here! Click to download PDF.

**The EAT pad is killer, and I love it, but I didn’t make it. Get one of your own at knockknock.biz. I highly recommend their stuff.

  1. Personally, I’m a fan of the “Dude, don’t forget to buy” list. If I posted that, I wonder if the boys would complain LESS about the lack of food in the house? (i.e., I wonder if they’d realize that I AM NOT A MIND READER.)

  2. I have fridge envy - love your lists. Please post ‘em all and a huge thank you for sharing! Pre-kids, I was a teacher and got a thrill from creating useful templates/lists/charts to share with other teachers (not busywork for students, but to manage our forests of paperwork). So I TOTALLY appreciate your ability to draw straight lines! Plus, your graphics are simply cool.

  3. Can you send me the EAT and DUDE.. BUY THIS.

    That would be so mega awesome I would have to make up a whole new word to represent the level of awesomeness.

    xoxo

  4. I heart a list! I make lists of lists!! Thank you - finding this just TOTALLY made my week!!! (which in turn made me think I probably should try to get out more).

  9. Thanks for the cool template. I will use these for myself.

    But would love one that say “SH*T my husband needs to do! and not someday NOW”

    I am the organizer and he is the free spirit so it is a like trying to herd cats to get him to do simple stuff like sign his paycheck. Thank God I learned how to forge his name!
