Hey guys! Today I am doing a post about how I write my to do lists because it has been requested in the past. As a lot of you know, I am constantly making lists. Blog idea lists, to do lists, bucket lists, etc. Having cute notepads makes writing lists even more fun!

I like to make my to do list right before bed the night before. I write down anything I didn’t complete off of the previous day’s list, then I add all the new things I have to do. This helps me relax because I don’t have to worry about remembering everything when I wake up in the morning.
Everyone has a different method when it comes to the items you have done. Personally I like to cross them out with one or two lines. Some people highlight, but I highlight important things so that doesn’t help me. Other people put checks by them, but I personally just love physically crossing an item off!
When I look at my to do list I can physically see how much I have left to do and what it is. During the school year I will separate school work and other, then usually end up doing the top half or so of each list since I like to write everything that I need to do down, even if it doesn’t need to be done that day. That way I remember to add it to the list again if it doesn’t get done, and nothing is ever forgotten.
Sometimes if I have very little time, I will write how many minutes I think each task will take. It makes me really happy if I think my list will take my 2 hours, but I get done in less than that so I have extra time to relax! Usually I only use this method when I am really busy during the school year.
