Welcome to your Family To-Do List! This template helps busy moms manage household tasks, events, and appointments all in one place. Below is a simple guide to get you started.
1. Adding a New Task
To add a new task, follow these steps:
Click on the + New button.
Enter the task name (e.g., “Buy school supplies”).
Assign the task to a family member (e.g., “Mom” or another family member if using a shared template).
Add a due date for when the task needs to be completed.
Set the priority to High, Medium, or Low depending on its importance.
Optionally, you can categorize the task (e.g., “School”, “Health and Fitness”, etc.).
2. Linking a Task to an Event
You can easily link a task to a related event, which helps you connect appointments or activities to specific to-dos:
In the Related Event column, select or add an event from your Family Calendar (e.g., “Olivia’s First Day of School” for a task like “Buy school supplies”).
This ensures all the relevant details are connected and easy to track.
3. Setting Priorities
For each task, you can assign a priority to highlight its importance:
4. Viewing Weekly Tasks
You can switch between List View (to see everything at once) and Weekly To-Do View to focus on what needs to be done within the current week. The weekly view helps with breaking down tasks into manageable chunks and prevents overload.
5. Marking a Task as Done
When you complete a task:
Update the Status column to mark it as Done.
Completed tasks will be automatically hidden from the to do list, giving you a clear sense of progress.
• Regularly check both the List View and Weekly To-Do View to stay on top of your tasks.
• Linking tasks to events (like dentist appointments or school activities) helps you stay organized and ensures nothing is missed.
• Prioritize your day by focusing on High priority tasks first.
