What Is a To-Do List Template?
A to-do list is a straightforward list of individual tasks you intend to complete, usually within a day or a short timeframe. This template renders each task as a checkable line — no categories, no time blocks, just the tasks themselves.
How to Use This Template
- Fill in the fields on the left — your entries appear in the live preview.
- Click "Update Preview" any time you change a field.
- Click directly inside the preview to fine-tune wording, spacing, or line breaks.
- Download as a text file, or use Print → Save as PDF for a polished document.
Tips
- Keep the list short — 5 to 8 tasks a day is realistic; more tends to just carry over.
- Write tasks as specific actions ('Email Sam the proposal') rather than vague topics ('Sam').
- Put the most important or hardest task first while your energy is highest.
- Cross off what's done and move unfinished tasks to tomorrow's list rather than letting them pile up.

Is there a limit to how many tasks I can add?
No, add as many lines as you need in the tasks field.
Can I download this list to print out?
Yes, use Print → Save as PDF, or download as .txt for a quick digital copy.
