About printable checklist

A printed checklist is still hard to beat for daily tasks, shopping trips and packing. This generator draws rows with a checkbox and a write-on line and puts the title you type at the top, so one template gives you a Shopping List, a Packing List or a Weekly Chores sheet.

Choose one column for a classic to-do list or two columns for shorter items. Make the rows taller for handwriting or tighter to fit more tasks, and switch the checkboxes between squares and circles.

Add a date field next to the title for daily lists, or leave it out for lists you reuse.

What you can use it for

  • Daily and weekly to-do lists
  • Shopping and packing lists
  • Cleaning and chore charts
  • Event and moving checklists
  • Classroom task trackers

The options explained

  • Title. Text printed at the top of the page. Letters, numbers and common punctuation are supported.
  • Date field. Adds a Date line at the right of the title row.
  • Columns. One or two columns of tasks.
  • Row height. Height of each row. Larger rows leave more room for handwriting.
  • Checkbox size and shape. Square or circle, from 2.5 mm to 12 mm.
  • Write-on lines. Adds a line to each row to write on. Turn it off for a clean box-only list.

Printing tips

  • Print a stack at the start of the week and tick items off as you go.
  • Use two columns for short items such as groceries.
  • Keep a few blank lists in a folder for unplanned tasks.
