70 List Ideas to Help You Organize Your Life
Whether you like to write your lists down on a piece of paper, create list using an app on your phone, or prefer to keep all your lists in your head… chances are that you have created a list of *something* at some point in your life. Children are taught even at a young age to create lists – homework, to-dos, etc. And even if you don’t love making lists, I think everyone can appreciate that lists serve a vital role in helping us all survive today’s busy world.
To help everyone get a jump start on organizing their life, I decided to create a few lists – of lists – that can help everyone organize their home (and life). Hope these help you stay organized!

Conclusion
If you love lists like I do, I highly recommend creating your lists in Sortifyd. The benefit of using Sortifyd compared to other list-making apps, is that you can add attachments (photos and files), assign tasks/items to a family member, collaborate with the whole family on a list, create recurring list items, share a list with your family, make a list private (so no one in your family can see it), add due dates to your tasks/items, and so much more! The best part is that Sortifyd is free for one person, and costs less than a couple of coffees to add your whole family and start collaborating!
