To Do List A5
$19.00
Ever have one of those days where your brain is juggling a million tiny tasks and you can’t remember if you emailed someone, paid that bill, or even fed the cat? Yeah… we’ve all been there. That’s why the A5 To-Do Pad exists — to catch the little things before they slip through the cracks.
It’s simple, clean, and actually nice to look at. No clutter, no overwhelming layouts — just a place to write down your tasks, tick them off, and feel a tiny sense of victory each time you do. The top-glued pages make it easy to tear off what’s done and start fresh, and the compact A5 size means it fits anywhere — your desk, your bedside, even your bag if you’re on the move.
This isn’t just a pad; it’s your little helper for keeping life organised without stressing over it. Minimalist design, high-quality paper, and modern typography make ticking off tasks almost… fun.
