To-Do List

To-Do List tile

Keeping track of commitments is a job in itself. Remembering deadlines/due dates, planning which nights to schedule homework, and trying not to forget any of it can be exhausting. The To-Do List helps you keep track of your tasks, organize your responsibilities, and plan ahead. 

Create categories to organize your tasks. Check your week at a glance with the visual representation of your commitments. Set reminders so you never forget what comes next. The To-Do list helps you manage your responsibilities so you can focus on the task at hand.
