Why make to-do lists?

There are a host of proven benefits of making to-do lists. Even with the best of intentions, we all have things we want to accomplish that just never seem to get done. As your mental to-do list grows, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. Instead of starting with a few small tasks and checking them off the list, you don’t get anything accomplished. Your list just grows from there, creating a vicious cycle.

Putting your to-do list in writing helps you move past this hurdle. First, you acknowledge that there are tasks you need to finish. Then with a written list in hand, you can prioritize the most important tasks and start working on them. As with any new habit, it may take time to get accustomed to making weekly, or even daily, to-do lists. As you get more accomplished every day, you’ll come to depend on your new habit.

How can I use my new to-do lists?

To-do lists are available in all shapes and sizes. It’s important to select to-do lists that work well for you, so you’re more likely to use them on a regular basis. There are four primary tactics for using to-do lists that I had in mind while making these free printable rainbow to-do lists.

  • Organize your day. Before heading to bed, create a to-do list for the day ahead. You’ll get a better night’s sleep with a plan ready for tomorrow. [Source]
  • Organize your week. Some people function best when they have their tasks outlined for the whole week ahead. Start each week by making a simple outline with the two or three most important priorities for each day. As the week progresses, you can tweak the tasks as needed for any given day.
  • Prioritize your tasks. It’s an established fact that it’s best to begin the day with one of your easiest tasks. [Source] I know that this practice seems counterintuitive. Starting with a basic task gives you the momentum you need to move onto more involved items on the to-do list. Making a list in writing simplifies this prioritization process.
  • Plan ahead to get favorite events on the calendar. We all start a new year or new season with big intentions for the months ahead. But then the weeks slip away before we know it. Writing a bucket list helps you keep beloved activities at the front of your mind. Display your completed bucket list on the refrigerator or in another high-traffic area of the house, so you’ll remember to keep working through it.

Please don’t feel restricted to these options. I’d love to hear about additional ways you intend to use your new rainbow to-do lists!

Printing the to-do lists

My recommendation for printing the 5 x 7 to-do lists as quickly and easily as possible is to purchase 5 x 7 memo sheets. Your lists will be formatted just right, and you won’t have to spend time cutting the paper to size. A 500-sheet pack is reasonably priced and will last you for a year or longer.

The 8 x 10 to-do lists print perfectly on regular 8.5 x 11 printer paper. Check that the margins look the way you want them to on the print preview image before printing. If the fit is off, check for a “shrink to fit” option, which should fix any issues. Stock up on printer paper for the year ahead.
