Finding the best to do list template app or software is a difficult task, given all of the choices available these days. First, you need to find out what kind of to do list template suits your style of working.
There are many different ways to create a to do list, and I want to lay some of them out here. In this article, I’ll cover:
The to-do list template is a fantastic way to get just what you need in the fraction of the time, and at no cost to you. Simply visit our website and look at the variety of lists we have available for you. All of these lists have been professionally designed with your needs in mind.
(If you are using the template for work purposes, try the weekly status report templates instead)
Try working with some of the following to do list templates to see what you like best:
If you want to use GTD templates, SWOT templates, then you can simply use the Priority Matrix software, which allows you to create, export, and share 4-quadrant templates.
You can out Priority Matrix here, by entering your email:
Obviously, for those that prefer the simplest methods, you could just write your to dos down in any random order on a piece of paper, and cross them out as you complete them.

However, by spending less time organizing your ideas, you may end up wasting more time later while completing the tasks.
Here is a to do list template with a little more complexity, which can be found at the Microsoft Office Templates website:
You can download the .docx file for this template here, or at the Microsoft Office Templates page here. This template adds more useful information onto the previous template, like “Due Date” and includes “Who” the task might involve. The same result can be accomplished in an excel spreadsheet, which allows for more complex sorting of to-dos. One can sort by Priority Level, due date, whether the task has been finished or not, etc.
I personally find it easier to sort not only my tasks, but to sort my to do lists. I have different to do lists for different parts of my life. For instance, I have one for work, and one for home/life in general. Here is an example of how multiple to do lists can be useful:
Download the .docx file for this to do list template here.
And last, but certainly not least, is the to do list template that we like to use here at Appfluence.
The Eisenhower time management matrix is our bread and butter, with good reason. We simply believe that organizing our tasks into 4 different levels of priority and urgency allows us to choose which tasks should be done first. Take a look here for the explanation of the 4-quadrant method.
