$14.99
Your To-Do List Doesn't Have to Control You
You start each day with good intentions. But by noon, you're behind. By evening, you're exhausted. And when you finally collapse into bed, you feel like you failed again because half your list is still undone.
What if your to-do list wasn't a taskmaster, but a tool for faithful stewardship?
The Grace-Filled To-Do List Notepad is your Christ-centered tool for planning with margin, praying before productivity, and building flexibility into your day, so you can steward your time without being enslaved to it.

A Framework Rooted in the Bible
"Commit your work to the Lord..." – Proverbs 16:3
Before you plan your day, you commit it to the Lord. Your plans are submitted to His purposes. Wise planning includes margin, flexibility, and grace, not just productivity. The layout guides you through four essential areas of grace-filled planning:
1. My Main Priority
Before you list everything you want to do, you identify the one thing that matters most. Shift your mindset from "I have to do everything" to "What truly matters today?" It gives you permission to let other things go without guilt.
2. To-Do List
Six checkbox lines for your tasks—not twenty, not fifty. Just six. This intentional limitation forces you to be realistic about what you can actually accomplish. It builds margin into your day instead of setting you up for failure.
3. Prayer Before Productivity
This section is what makes this notepad different. You pray before you produce. This prayer reorients your heart. You're asking God to help you value people over productivity, to stay flexible when plans change, and to build rest into your day, not just work.
4. Built-In Margin
The most revolutionary section of all. You intentionally plan for margin. This section gives you permission to plan for the interruptions, the needs, the moments that matter, instead of treating them as obstacles to your productivity.
How to Use This Notepad
For Daily Planning:
Each morning, fill out a page. Identify your main priority, list your tasks, pray before you start, and intentionally build margin into your day. This transforms planning from pressure to peace.
For Combating Overwhelm:
When your mental to-do list feels endless, use this notepad to narrow your focus to six realistic tasks and one main priority. You'll feel more in control and less anxious.
For Protecting Relationships:
The "Prayer Before Productivity" and "Built-In Margin" sections help you value people over tasks. When your child needs you or your spouse wants to talk, you won't resent the interruption, because you planned for it.
For Spiritual Discipline:
Using this notepad is an act of worship. You're submitting your time, your tasks, and your plans to God's lordship. You're praying before you produce.
For Rest:
The emphasis on rest, play, and flexibility helps you build rhythms of rest into your week, not just work.
For Releasing Perfectionism:
The limited space for tasks and the focus on margin give you permission to be realistic rather than perfectionistic about what you can accomplish.
For Accountability:
Share your completed pages with a mentor or friend. Vulnerability about how you're stewarding your time invites wisdom and support.
Tuck It Anywhere:
Keep it on your desk for morning planning. Store it in your planner for weekly reviews. Slip it in your kitchen drawer for daily reference. The portable size fits seamlessly into your planning routine.
