30 uses for 3×5 tiles

Have you discovered how these little 3×5 index cards can help bring order and a sense of control in your life?

By writing down your list of goals, to-dos, and outlining a plan on a card, you can get the feeling that your projects are

manageable after all. As you check off completed items on your to-do list, close your eyes for a second, take a deep breath,

And give yourself a pat on the back to celebrate your achievement, no matter how small! You will soon have a smaller list.

In addition to to-do lists, here are some other uses for index cards:

Shopping lists: groceries, school supplies, etc.

I tried to make a paper airplane out of one, but it was too heavy for the nose and it only went a couple feet away and then I dove into it. So I can’t add ‘paper airplane’ to my list.

Don’t forget that you can color code your projects and have some blank index cards handy in the car, in your purse, briefcase, on your desk, etc. You never know when you need it!

In case you have large print and find this index card size too small, you can try the larger 4×6 card size.
