ListPlanIt Review and Giveaway!

I'm a list person.  I have to write things down or I forget them (usually within 5 minutes) and nothing gets done.  As you've also read I'm a Capricorn which means that I LOVE to organize and anything organization related.  I once tried to make myself a wonderful home management binder with sections and forms.  It was a great idea, and I even found a couple free printables around the web, but the forms just weren't working for me and I was having a hard time making my own as I just didn't know where to start.


Recently I came across ListPlanIt where there are over 400 printable lists for about every topic you can imagine.  I'm going to try really hard not to make this post sound like a sales pitch, but I'm seriously in love with ListPlanIt so I may sound a bit infomercial (but you can win a membership yourself so you will want to hear all the cool things available right?).

What it is- ListPlanIt is an organizational website filled with blank and pre-filled forms for everything from holiday planning to business planning.  You can plan your day, your summer, your club events, your camping trip, even your American Idol season (seriously, I'm not even kidding, there is a list for American Idol die hards).  Check out some of the FREE lists here.  Once you fall in love, which I know you will, you have a couple options.  You can subscribe, one lucky reader will win a years subscription here, or you can purchase e-planners for download on a specific subject.  (note- subscribers have access to all lists included in each e-planner, it's a little confusing at first because they look like they are extra, but really the fee is for those who do not wish to subscribe and just want to buy a few list forms)

What I'm loving-
  • I have the download membership (there is a download level and a printable level available).  I love that I can download the form to my desktop and it's always there at my fingertips to print out. 
  • Pre-filled and blank options.  The moment I fell in love with ListPlanIt was when I found the monthly cleaning schedule all mapped out and filled in for me.  It tells me exactly what to do each day of the week to keep on top of my clutter and keep the house company worthy at any time (and with kids that's HUGE!).  I had printed this list and had it on my table when my mom came over and spotted it, she snatched it right up (it's that good)! Good thing I could just print out a new one. It does have a blank option if you prefer your own schedule.
  • Available topics.  The lists are broken up into categories.  Each category has a generous list of forms for anything you could possibly need.  
  •  The lists have all the things I would put on them along with things I didn't even think of.  So it's all the forms I would love to make myself, but don't have to!
  • You can print out and fill in yourself -or- fill in the forms on your computer and print them out!
What I'm not loving-
I've got nothing, sorry. I love it.

I could go on and on about all the things ListPlanIt has to offer, but I'm sure you would have more fun checking it out for yourself than reading my raves.  So here's the deal.  Leave a comment on this post about which list looks like it would be most helpful to you, or one you find most interesting.  I will randomly choose a winner of a one year subscription on Thursday, May 20th. Good luck!

      I'm digging the meal planning lists. I've tried to make my own lists for meal planning and always come up lacking. Would love this!!

      Taylor,
      Do they have a "Honey Do List"? I'm still trying to figure out how to get my husband to do all the things I want him to! {smirk}
      I'll check it out later today when I have more time

    3. Jill said... May 17, 2010

      I am loving all the Christmas lists. I try to get many things done WAY ahead of time for the holidays and that would really help. Thanks for the giveaway!

    4. Christina said... May 17, 2010

      We are going on vacation in a couple weeks and I'm already freaking out so I think the Travel Planning Lists would help out a lot. I love lists and do much better when I have one and follow it! Great giveaway!

    5. Melissa Guay said... May 17, 2010

      I'm a total list-maker...and you're making me choose one? Oh my, all those lists are so great! I think Home Management or Meal Planning would be on top of my "list" for faves though. ;)

    6. Claude said... May 17, 2010

      The monthly cleaning list would be so incredibly helpful here!!! Thanks for the chance to win this!

    7. amycornwell said... May 17, 2010

      Yay! I love lists. Can't wait to check it out!

    8. *Sarah said... May 17, 2010

      I saw a room by room purge list that would be ever-so-helpful! Thanks Taylor! didn't look close enough to see if there's a craft - (supply and to-do) organization list... there should be.

    9. mkscheid said... May 17, 2010

      I think I would use a lot of these list...I went through all the categories and I'm not sure I can just pick one!

    10. marci_jo said... May 17, 2010

      Oh my, I could spend way too much time on ListPlanIt, I love lists. I think right now I could use all the gardening lists as I'm trying to design a garden journa/planner for myself.

    11. Amy said... May 17, 2010

      This site looks awesome! I enjoyed just looking at all the lists

    12. Mary Ellen said... May 17, 2010

      Time management- geez I need help with that! The business management would be helpful too for my lil ol business!

    13. Alyssa said... May 17, 2010

      I'm thinking the financial eplanner would be great for us! Though I'm certain I could put pretty much all of their lists to use!! Thanks for introducing me to ListPlanIt!

    14. RaisingCropsAndBabies said... May 17, 2010

      holiday and occassions! i'm striving to homemake all gifts this year and would love to organize ideas and "dones" on something other than the back of envelopes!

    15. Ruthie said... May 17, 2010

      Oooo I could pick loads....I think the family eplanner looks good - may well have to take a closer peep at that one. The meal planner would be fab too - and theres a clubs one too!

      So many lists, so little time! Would I ever get time to do "things" or would I be making lists all day????

    17. Rebecca said... May 17, 2010

      I LOVE making lists!! I am so OCD about it if I do something that wasn't on my list I add it so I can mark it off~ sad huh!!

    18. Lindsey said... May 17, 2010

      I absolutely love this! I really like the lists in home management!

    19. Suz said... May 17, 2010

      I would find the Budgeting Per Pay Period list and monthly cleaning list. I couldn't choose between these two =P Thanks for bringing this site to my attention. SuzRas

    20. Rachel said... May 17, 2010

      Oh wow, I could so use that! I think I'd use the meal planning and cleaning schedule the most, definitely!

    21. The Palmers said... May 17, 2010

      The meal planning would be great for me, My husband and I always think of things to eat never write them down, then of couse forget about it. We are always trying to find out what is good and healthy for us to eat. I would definantly use the meal planning

    22. Christine C. said... May 17, 2010

      Is it wrong to want to start my Christmas list plans? Love the meal plan too!

    23. Karen said... May 17, 2010

      I have List Mania - wonder if they have a List that will help me keep up with my Lists? :) I love the Home Improvement List - sometimes just getting it down on paper and organizing your thoughts about all the home improvements is enough to calm my ADD brain. That site is way cool - thanks! Karen

    24. Paula said... May 17, 2010

      The responsibility lists look good for our family. Our kids are at the point where they need to start pitching in around here. Things are crazy!

    25. the momma said... May 17, 2010

      Oh man...I'm a list fanatic. This may not be good... :0) But I'd love it anyway!!!

    26. racheljohnson226 said... May 17, 2010

      This is a great review- I am very impressed!
      I think the memory journal sounds interesting- but I would love to use the meal planning and cleaning schedules!

    27. Mandi said... May 17, 2010

      i have lists for my lists - this could be dangerous ;o)

    28. bdaiss said... May 17, 2010

      THANK YOU! I heard about this site a long time ago but lost the link and couldn't remember for the life of me what it was called! Thanks for putting it back on the radar! I am also list addicted. Heck, my lists have lists. :)

    29. Kimberly said... May 17, 2010

      Oh my gosh! I am such a list person!! This is like Heaven all wrapped up in a website...
      Where can I find the monthly cleaning schedule?? I could use some help staying on top of the junkheap, er, clutter. :) I have been trying myjobchart.com.
      I also love the meal planning list. I feel like that could help me save some money and sanity.
      Ooooh, and the financial planning - I could go on and on!!
      Thanks!

    30. Michelle said... May 17, 2010

      I like the garden chores list and the meal planning list the most.

    31. Genevieve said... May 17, 2010

      Oooh - maybe that cleaning one would actually make me do it (since I got sick of Fly Lady real fast...) :)

    32. Domilee said... May 17, 2010

      I would definately say that the financial planning list would be of extreme help to us. We are slowly drowning and this looks like it may help us get things under control again.

      Thank you for the chance.

    33. Kristen said... May 17, 2010

      I love the meal planning section. The inventory lists would be a huge help with planning meals/grocery shopping.

    34. Jennifer Chase said... May 17, 2010

      Ohhh...I am also a list fanatic. I love the collection under Family Matters...keeping track of appointments, chores, and lists for babysitters...all of those would be handy!

    35. Darcy said... May 17, 2010

      OOO! I am a listaholic...Can't get enough of them. I would love the home inventory and anything financial related!!

    36. Sommers Breeze Antiques said... May 17, 2010

      I am liking the cleaning list. I am always buying day planners and memo books, and I am good for about 4 days to a week, then it goes down hill. Having in via computer and printable as needed is great!

    37. aubrie said... May 17, 2010

      wow, oh wow! that is a beautiful site, thanks for bringing it to my attention. the home management and meal planning would be my favorites i think.

    38. Emily said... May 17, 2010

      I seriously need the meal planing list. I'm really lacking in that area lately.

    39. leardonsbelle said... May 17, 2010

      Oohh! I want the monthly cleaning schedule. What a great giveaway!

    40. Ashley Mason said... May 18, 2010

      I'm such a "list" girl! They all look enticing to me. I can't decide which one I want the most. I LOVE this site! I don't think I've ever wanted to win a giveaway as much as I want to win this one! I hope I win! :)

      This is a great site! Thanks so much for introducing it to us:0). I love the purge lists. What a good idea.

      Hi Taylor,

      Great prize idea. Gosh there's a whole lot there that would be useful to me but I guess time management is the biggest issue. Thanks heaps for visiting and goodluck :-) xo

    46. Amy said... May 19, 2010

      I just started taking care of my niece and nephew, so I now have a 7 mo old, 2 yr old, and 2 3 1/2 yr olds to schedule activities for, make new meal plans, and try to keep up with my own household tasks and appointments. This website is awesome! What a great giveaway!
