Use this free to-do list to track every task in your content production workflow — from scripting and filming to editing, thumbnailing and scheduling. Your tasks are saved automatically in your browser so they're ready every time you return, with no account needed.

Content creation involves more recurring tasks than most people track — scripting, filming, editing, thumbnail design, captioning, adding hashtags, scheduling, replying to comments, reviewing analytics. Without a system, things fall through the cracks. A simple task list that lives in your browser is often all you need to stay on track without adding another app to manage.
Tasks you add here are saved to your browser's storage, so they persist between sessions without needing an account. Close the tab, come back tomorrow — your list will still be there. It's not a full project management system, just a quick and useful task tracker for your content workflow.
Step 1 — Add tasks at the start of your work session. Before you start creating, write down every task that needs to be done for your current project. Break big tasks into smaller ones — 'edit video' is too big for one task. 'Edit intro', 'add B-roll', 'colour grade', 'add captions' are better.
Step 2 — Work through the list in order. Tackle one task at a time and check it off as you go. The satisfaction of checking things off is more useful than it sounds — it keeps you moving forward and gives you a clear view of where you are in the project.
Step 3 — Clear completed tasks regularly. At the end of each day or project, remove completed tasks. A to-do list full of things you've already done is harder to work from than a clean one that shows only what's left.
Making tasks too vague to act on. 'Work on video' is not a task. 'Write intro script for Tuesday's video' is a task. The more specific the task, the less resistance you'll feel when it's time to start it. Vague tasks get avoided; specific ones get done.
Making the list so long it becomes overwhelming. A to-do list with 40 items doesn't help you focus — it just creates anxiety. Keep it to the things that actually need to happen today or this session. Move future tasks to your content calendar and keep the active list short and manageable.
Using the to-do list without a timer or structure. A list of tasks without time blocks becomes a wishlist. Pair your task list with focused work sessions — either a Pomodoro timer or time blocks assigned to specific tasks. Knowing how long each task should take prevents one task from eating the entire day.
Yes — this tool uses your browser's localStorage to save tasks. They'll still be there when you close and reopen the browser on the same device. Clearing your browser's site data or using private/incognito mode will remove them.
The standard per-video workflow for most creators involves: idea development, keyword research, scripting or outlining, filming, editing, thumbnail creation, title and description writing, adding captions, scheduling, and posting. Breaking each piece of content into these stages gives you a repeatable checklist.
A to-do list is for immediate tasks — what you're doing today or this week. A content calendar is for planning — what you're making and when you're posting it over the next month. Use both: the calendar tells you what's coming, the to-do list tells you what to do right now.
For most creators, yes. The overhead of maintaining a complex system often outweighs the benefit. A simple list that you actually use every day beats a sophisticated system you abandon after two weeks. Start simple and only add complexity if you genuinely need it.
Content creation involves dozens of repeating tasks — scripting, filming, editing, thumbnailing, captioning, scheduling and reviewing analytics. Without a system to track these tasks, things fall through the cracks, deadlines slip and the quality of the final content suffers. A simple task list is one of the highest-leverage tools in a creator's workflow.
