Use for all applicable schoolwork and personal tasks
Great for people who want to be detailed, such as having due dates and time estimations
Use this weekly or during hectic times!

13. ABC To-Do List
This allows you to use the ABC method of prioritization to organize your crazy week!
The ABC Method was originally developed by Alan Lakein and consists of assigning a priority status of “A,” B”, or “C” to each of the items of your to-do list or task list.
It allows you to take a total inventory (called the Mind Dump) of all you need to do within a week and then fill them into the high, medium, or low priority categories for each day of the week.
Just remember that whatever doesn’t get completed will need to be carried over to the next day!
Use this weekly or during hectic times too!
