Achieve More, Stress Less.
Your simple productivity notebook for tackling life’s endless to-dos.

Created by “To-Do List” People with Too Much to Do
We're a small business based in Portland, Oregon. A few years ago, we realized we were sick of screens and hated maintaining virtual lists, tired of forced personal growth and rigid notebook layouts. We felt like task management had become a task of it's own, but we wanted our focus to be on the tasks themselves, not the notebook.
And so the Original APRON Notebook was born, to help us get focused today, without forgetting tomorrow.

About the APRON System
Our system has two main pieces: a long-term list and a short-term list. These work together to set you up for daily wins and longer-term success.
Long-Term List: A running list of all the tasks you need to accomplish over time.
Short-Term List: The day’s tasks—what you’re focused on right now.
Each notebook comes with an introduction that explains how to use our system, followed by our clean and simple to-do list pages designed for flexibility, and a ruler to guide you through setting up your long-term and short-term lists.

With this notebook, you can see the progress you’re making daily, while keeping an eye on the bigger picture.
