The Plain and Simple To-Do List
This “To-Do” list was designed for adults with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, but it looks like it would be useful for anyone these days multi-tasking through lots of distractions.
“The planners that are out on the market today can sometimes be too cumbersome and overwhelming for an adult with AD/HD, especially when they are initially trying to get better organized. I have devised what I call ‘The Plain and Simple To-Do List’ that can be made up from items most people already have in their homes.”
All you need to get started is a manila folder and some post-it notes.
This seems similar to the technique I have been using myself for years — I have a daily “to-do list” I keep in my coat pocket… at the end of the day, I move all the unfinished items on to a fresh list.

I’m a registered nurse and freelance writer and I coordinate a column for a nursing magazine which features products that nurses might use for relaxation and organizing their lives.
This month, my plan was to present a simple ‘to-do’ list as something that doesn’t require entering into your blackberry or PDA. As you show above, your basic to-do list is good for those with ADHD. One really doesn’t need all these fancy software programs with their bells and whistles.
Would you have any high resolution artwork of the above to-do list that I might use to illustrate a point?
