Generate a To-Do List Sheet with Checkboxes as a PDF
For daily task lists, grocery shopping, and travel packing, a simple checkbox sheet does exactly what any app does — without the battery drain or the distraction. Lineum puts a checkbox at the start of every line and gives you control over line spacing, checkbox size in millimeters, and an optional date column on the right for due dates or completion marks. Turn on the title section to add a header for a project name or date. No account needed — print exactly as many sheets as you need at A4 or A5.
Use cases
- For daily work task lists. Write out the day's tasks, check each one off as you finish, and carry over anything remaining to the next sheet. The date column adds a strip on the right for due dates so you can sort by urgency at a glance.
- For grocery shopping and travel packing lists. Print at A5 or Half-Letter size for a slip that fits in a pocket or wallet. The checkbox next to each item lets you confirm as you shop or pack, with no separate app needed.
- For project checklists and step-by-step procedures. Add a title in the header section for the project name, list the steps in order, and your team has a simple shared checklist to work from and sign off.
- For building daily routines. Write out your morning or evening routine as a to-do list and check off each item as you complete it. Pair it with a habit tracker to keep a longer-term record of which routines are sticking.
Tips
- The default line spacing is 7 mm. Use 8–10 mm for more breathing room, or drop to 6 mm to fit more lines per page.
- A checkbox size of 4 mm is easy to tick with a pen; go slightly smaller for dense lists or larger if you plan to fill the box with a bold check.
- Turn on the date column for a vertical divider at the right edge — a handy strip for writing due dates or completion dates.
- Turn on the title section to add a header field for a project name, shopping category, or date at the top of the sheet.
- Export at A5 size for a pocket-sized to-do slip that fits in a wallet or planner.
FAQ
- What is the difference between a to-do list and a habit tracker?
- A to-do list is a one-off checklist of tasks to complete and cross off. A habit tracker is a recurring grid — one row per habit, one column per day — that you fill in repeatedly over weeks or months to build consistency. Use a to-do list for project steps and errands; use a habit tracker for daily routines you want to maintain long term.
- How many lines fit on one page?
- It depends on the line spacing and paper size. With A4 at 7 mm spacing and standard margins, you get roughly 30–40 lines. Check the live preview to see the exact count.
- Can I add a column for due dates or deadlines?
- Yes. Turn on the date column to add a vertical divider at the right edge with blank space to write a date or note.
- Can I change the checkbox size?
- Yes. The checkbox size is set in millimeters. Around 3–5 mm tends to be the most comfortable to tick with a pen.
- Does it come in A5 and other sizes?
- Yes. Lineum supports A3, A4, A5, A6, B4, B5, B6, Letter, Legal, Tabloid, and Half-Letter.
