Discover how to create an ultra-effective To-Do List with a smart visual template to take control of your time!

►

1. Log in and create a new project

• Log in to lac.com with your credentials.
• In your workspace, create a new project and name it, for example, "YouTube To-Do List".
• Customize the color of the project to make it easily identifiable.

2. Set up a reusable template

• Add a worksheet and name it "Template".
• This is your reference base: all your future task lists will be based on this template.

3. Customize the layout of the "Template" sheet

1. Open the "Template" sheet and select the "Task List" mode from the menu.
2. Click on "Show" to select your essential columns:
   • Task (name of the action)
   • Structure (task hierarchy)
   • Level (for subtasks)
   • Status (To Do, In Progress, Done)
   • End date (deadline)
   • Completion (progress percentage)
3. Rearrange the columns in a logical order that suits you (e.g., Level → Structure → Task → Status → End Date → Completion).

4. Add prioritization criteria

• In "Template", add a "Importance" column as a dropdown list (Values: High, Low).
• Create a second "Urgency" column (Urgent, Not Urgent).
• Assign visual codes (red for High/Urgent, green for Low/Not Urgent) to improve readability.

5. Create concrete lists from the template

1. Copy the "Template" sheet (option "Copy").
2. Rename the copy according to the targeted domain, for example, "Personal" for your personal tasks.
3. In the three-dot menu, select the gear icon, then "Source Template", and choose your "Template".
4. The new sheet will automatically inherit all columns and pre-configured formatting.

6. Enter and organize tasks

• Add generic tasks (e.g., "Review To-Do List") or specific ones ("Do groceries for dinner").
• For each task, fill in:
  • End date (deadline)
  • Importance and Urgency (for prioritizing via the Eisenhower Matrix)
• Drag and drop tasks in the desired order of processing.

7. Prioritize with subtasks

• Click on the + to the left of the parent task.
• Enter your subtasks (e.g., shopping list for "Do groceries").
• In the "Level" column, nest them under the main task.
• Completed subtasks automatically increase the completion percentage of the parent task.

8. Best practices to maintain your To-Do List

• Update daily: delete completed tasks and add new ones.
• Time blocking: estimate a realistic time for each task to avoid constant rescheduling.
• Grouping: chain similar activities (emails, calls, groceries) to limit context switching.
• Multiple sheets: create additional tabs (e.g., "Finance", "Work") to segment your tasks and not forget anything.
