Overview

Sometimes, less is more.

There's no better example than a clean-cut printable checklist you can touch and feel with your bare hands.

In this post you'll find a variety of templates and checklists you can download, import, and print.

Better than that, all checklists at todotemplates.com are available in PDF for your printing preferences! 😲👍🏽

Let's start with context on why you should (or shouldn't) go IRL and use a printable checklist.

Why Use Paper?

A checklist is a simple way to help organize your thoughts and actions. It helps you remember what needs to get done when and where.

A paper list has a few distinct benefits over digital lists, here are a few:

• It's a physical thing, it exists
• It's available, usually within arms reach
• You can secure in long term storage
• It's cheap and effective

Of course this is all basic, well-known stuff, but sometimes it helps to remind ourselves of the benefits. Knowing how your tools can be better used in different circumstances will help you make better choices in how you approach a problem.

Using a Blank Template

You can use blank checklist templates and fill in each task as you go along, or cleaning, maintenance, or recurring tasks, you can create and edit your own, printing out copies for others or future use.

Pro-tip: there are templates for several categories like business, education, family, fitness, mindfulness, and productivity.
