Old School: Get your Priorities Straight

You work hard for your money. Now make your folders work for you. Daily to-do lists and everything on them-envelopes, prescriptions, maps, and so forth-can travel with you in one tidy package.



To-Do Pee-Chee

$$7

ingredients

  • 22” x 16” 140-pound poster board
  • Double-sided tape
  • Brad
  • Vinyl or rub-on letters

tools

  • Ruler
  • Pencil
  • Cutting mat
  • Scissors
  • X-acto knife
  • Bone folder
  • 1/4” hole punch

MAKE IT

  1. Measure and cut the poster board.

  2. Use the bone folder to score along the dotted lines and fold.

  3. Apply double-sided tape to attach the pockets.

  4. Cut out three dials and punch a hole at the flat end of each one.

  5. Number the dials.

  6. Cut a 1/4” horizontal slit at the center of one side of the folder.

  7. Line up the dials at their holes and push the brad through the dial holes, then through the slit. Secure the fastener.

  8. Use the vinyl letters to spell out your priorities. The windows in the dials make handy guides.
