You’ll also find a vertical to-do list included on every monthly calendar, perfect for jotting down everything you need to accomplish in the month.
Daily & Weekly Checklists
To keep track of your Daily Tasks, the Homekeeping Planner features a week on two pages format. List your tasks for each day, and as you complete them, check them off.
