The Catch-All Springtime To-Do List

April is already here and it is finally starting to feel like Spring! It’s the perfect time for airing out the

goals we set a few short months ago, refreshing our homes, and gearing up for the warmer

months.

Having a clear idea of what you want to accomplish can help you get the most out of the season,

and the Golden Coil team is here to help! We love a good spring refresh and want to share the

joy. Check out the lists below and see what speaks to you! As you read, consider incorporating

those items into your own spring-time to-do list in your Golden Coil planner. The “Reminders”,

“Brain Dump”, and “To-Do” +pages are a few great places to record your personalized list. So,
