To-do list example
Is it to-do or to do? This is something I always have to look up when I’m typing or writing it, so I thought I’d add a reminder here in my blog. My tip is:
If it’s used as an adjective, before a noun, it’s hyphenated, as in ‘to-do list’. If it’s used as a noun, as in ‘to dos’, it should never be hyphenated.
Examples:
I haven’t updated my to-do list today which is making me feel a bit anxious.
I have so many to dos on my list that it’s difficult to prioritise.
If you have any other examples, please contact me.
Until next time…
About Sandra Madeira
I am a working mum and entrepreneur with a passion for writing, coaching, mentoring and inspiring others. Subjects I tend to blog about are life skills, parenting, decluttering, worklife balance, career etc.
I’ve been on a decluttering mission for years creating space in my house, garden and mind. In 2020 I challenged myself to declutter every day for a whole year and write about it daily.
After that success I took on a challenge to change my career from accountant to life coach, and in early 2024 set up my own company.
I continue to keep up with the decluttering, and now write daily about my home life and coaching business.
Have a good day!
