Too much to do

With so much to do and so little time, I find it hard to keep track of everything that needs to be done. Homework, essays, work, places to go and people to see, all the stuff that needs to be done can be overwhelming! Of course, rather than actually doing the things that I need to get done, I spend my time procrastinating on Pinterest. However, the other day while procrastinating I found something that would be useful for keeping track of all the things that I should actually be doing.

I made a small version of this project because I just don't have the space for the full version. It is a picture frame, but instead of using it as a frame it is a dry erase board! Originally it was a collage frame that had the weekdays for each different frame, but I used a single frame to make a "To Do" list. All I needed was:

1 picture frame

1 sheet of patterned paper (I used some cool tissue
 paper I saved from in a shopping bag... You have to craft
 on a budget when you're a student!)

1 dry erase marker

1 crafting knife


First, take the back of the frame off and line it up on the paper as you please. Then run the knife against the edges to cut the paper to be the right size.

Second, put the paper in the frame like you would a picture.

Third, use the dry erase marker to create "To Do" and your list on the glass. If you need to erase just use a damp paper towel. It took me a few tries to get my letters to look even half decent!

And that's all there is to it!


At first, I thought my frame would make a good "Nailed It!" meme, but it grew on me. Plus, using it has been extremely helpful. I am a very forgetful person; I practically forget one thought before I've even finished thinking about it, so having a "To Do" list displayed in front of my all the time is really beneficial. Now I can't forget or miss anything, unless I forget to write it down...
