I’m back with a mini project. It doesn’t have anything to do with decor, it’s more about organization.
I love checklists. They are what help keep me on track in everything from daily cleaning to staying healthy. For years, what I have been doing is printing a weeks worth of checklists on one page, and printing a new one every week. I don’t know what took me so long, but I finally had the idea to just laminate my lists. No more printing them every week and then throwing them away.
Once the lists are laminated, you can use a dry erase marker to check everything off. At the end of the day when you have accomplished everything on your list, you can just wipe it clean with a dry cloth or tissue. Or you can just be lazy efficient and clutter free like me and use your finger.
These self-sealing laminating pouches only cost $11 for 10 full-sized sheets.

They are really easy to use. You stick your paper between two pieces of plastic, one of which is sticky, and you press them together.
I used a paper cutter to cut around my newly laminated checklists so the lines would be straight.
My healthy living checklist is now hanging on the fridge, along with my basic daily and weekly cleaning checklists.
The finished checklists are even sturdy enough to clip the dry erase marker on them, which means the marker shouldn’t ever get misplaced. The checklists I used are very simple to make in Excel (they literally take 5 minutes), but if you don’t want to make your own, there are tons of great printable checklists on Etsy. (affiliate link!)
