Why Your To-Do List Never Works (Try This Instead – Running Tod-Do List)

If your to-do list keeps growing and you find yourself rewriting the same tasks over and over, this simple system can help you turn that list into a clear plan for the week. ▶️ Download the Running To-Do List page used in this video (A4, Letter & Personal sizes): https://marianecresp.com/products/a5-running-to-do-list-planner-inserts-printable-download In this video, I walk through the running to-do list system I use in my planner to keep tasks visible across the week without constantly starting a new list. This layout is inspired by the Alastair Method, a simple planning approach that helps you move tasks forward through the week so you always know what to work on next. Instead of rewriting tasks every day, one page carries your work forward through the week. In this video, you'll learn how to • Turn a messy to-do list into a clear weekly plan • Set up a running to-do list page in your planner • Move tasks through the week without rewriting them • Focus on what matters for today, tomorrow, and this week This system works especially well after doing a brain dump, where you clear everything out of your head before deciding what actually belongs on this week's list.
