When to use this layout

Best for clearing stale lists and making a visible decision about every unfinished task.

What’s on the spread

  • Source list with checkboxes
  • Four migration destinations
  • Next-action prompts

Before you draw it

  • Rewrite only the next physical action, not the whole project.
  • Schedule tasks that have a real date or time.
  • Drop tasks that no longer support a current priority.

Open an editable copy, set your notebook’s dot count, spacing and margins, and adjust anything that doesn’t fit. Then use the measurements, or print an actual-size PDF stencil to trace. No account needed.
