I love to-do checklists—it’s just so satisfying to tick off every box no matter if it’s a task list or grocery shopping list.
Call me old-fashioned, but I like physical checklists better than spreadsheets and apps as I can monitor everything clearly. I may not have analytics or weekly reports of how productive I’ve been, but knowing that I always get the job done is more than enough for me.
It’s also the reason why I still invest in productivity planners and journals. As a writer, handwritten notes are still the best for me and I don’t see myself switching to digital anytime soon.
So if you’re like me, here are some to-do checklists I absolutely love (with nonconventional options).

Sweetzer & Orange Today Is The Day Daily Planner Notepad
This to-do checklist from Sweetzer & Orange is the right amount of classy and cute with its pastel color and gold foil print. It includes a section for daily focus, hourly schedule, main to-do, water intake, and notes.
The best part is that it uses 100gsm thick, non-bleed paper so you can use almost any pen without worrying about the ink traces or smudging.

Any other quirky, motivational line better than get shit done? Coming in 50 sheets, this straightforward checklist is uniquely crafted by the Bliss Collection Store’s in-house designers.

Magnetic Dry Erase Weekly Planner Calendar
One of the things I don’t like about whiteboards is the marker stains they have after daily use. Good thing this weekly to-do checklist from the cinch! store can easily be cleaned—even up to 50 days since the writing—using the ultra-fine tip cinch! markers (included in the package).
May it be for family or for office use, this magnetic checklist is ideal for improving teamwork as you can assign tasks with color-coding strategies in mind.

I really liked this checklist from the Two Tumbleweeds Store because it also has a gratitude section, boosting both productivity and wellness. It has an hourly schedule, checklist, meals, water intake, and a notes section for easy tracking.
(It’s one of the best-sellers on Amazon, too.)
