Canvases: Create your own to-do list

 What you’ll learn in two minutes or less: How to use a canvas to keep track of your tasks with checklists.

Plan out what you need to accomplish and prioritise important tasks in your own private space. You can also add relevant links and resources.



Go for it!

  1. Open the direct message that you have with yourself.
  2. Click the   canvas icon in the conversation header.
  3. Near the bottom of your canvas, click the   checklist icon.
  4. Add your first task. Remember to tick it off the list when you’ve finished. ✅

    Here's an example of what this could look like: open canvas with checklists to prioritise tasks for the next two weeks, as well as link to a relevant resource

Tip: For tasks that you and your colleague are collaborating on, you can create a shared to-do list in a canvas.

Nice one!
