Introduction
Welcome to the "To-Do List" application, a
user-friendly and efficient software designed to help
individuals organise their tasks .
In our fast-paced lives, juggling multiple
responsibilities and commitments can be challenging,
so having a to-do list may help you prioritise your
work and personal tasks.
This allows you to organise and complete the most
crucial tasks first. To-do lists can be used to improve
time management because all of your tasks are laid
out clearly in advance.
Objectives
Task organisation: This project provides a clear

overview of all the tasks you need to accomplish,
helping you stay organised and preventing things
from slipping through the cracks.
Goal tracking: To-do lists can be used to break

down large goals into smaller, actionable tasks,
making it easier to track progress and work towards
achieving those goals.
Daily planning: Creating a daily to-do list allows

you to plan your day in advance, making sure we
have a clear roadmap and minimising wasted time.
Task delegation: If we are working with a team

or collaborating with others, a to-do list can help
delegate tasks and track their completion.
Time Management: We can allocate our time more

efficiently throughout the day. This prevents
overloading yourself with tasks and helps you
realistically plan your schedule.
Mental Well-being: Include tasks related to
mindfulness, meditation, journaling, or other activities
that promote mental health.
Accountability: A to-do list holds you

accountable for completing tasks you've set out to
do, as you can check off items as they're done.
Flexibility: To-do lists can be adapted and

adjusted as circumstances change, allowing you to
accommodate new tasks or changes in priorities.
Uses of the programming language
We have used the programming language Python.

Python is a case-sensitive, high level and a
widely-used programming language known for its
simplicity and readability.
Python's design philosophy emphasises code
readability and a clear, straightforward syntax, which
makes it an excellent choice for both beginners and
experienced developers.
● Readable and Elegant Syntax: Python's

syntax is designed to be easy to read and write,
resembling natural language, which makes it
accessible for programmers of all skill levels.
● Interpreted Language: Python is an

interpreted language, meaning that the code is
executed line by line by an interpreter without the
need for compilation. This allows for quicker
development and testing.
● Dynamically Typed: Python is dynamically

typed, which means you don't need to declare
variable types explicitly. Variables can change
their type during runtime.
● Large Standard Library: Python comes
with a comprehensive standard library that
provides modules and functions for a wide range
of tasks, from web development to data analysis,
networking, and more.
● Cross-Platform Compatibility: Python is

available on various platforms (Windows,
macOS, Linux), allowing developers to write
code that can run on different operating systems
without major modifications.
● Open Source: Python is an open-source

language, which means its source code is freely
available and can be modified and distributed by
anyone.
Modules used
● tkinter: It is used for creating the graphical
user interface (GUI) for the "To-Do List"
application.
○
● tkinter.messagebox: It is a submodule of
tkinter and is used to display popup message
boxes
○
● pickle: It is used for serialising and
deserializing Python objects, allowing tasks to be
saved and loaded from a file.
○
● random: It is used to randomly select an
inspirational quote from the quotes list.
System requirements
Operating System: 64-bit Microsoft® Windows®
11, 10 or Apple macOS

Working description
GUI Setup:
● The application's main window is created with a
fixed size of 400x600 pixels and a title "To-Do
List."
Add Task:
● Users can enter a task description in the input
field and select a category from the dropdown
menu.
Delete Task:
● Users can select a task from the listbox by
clicking on it and remove the selected task from
the listbox.
Load Task:
● Clicking the "Load Task" button loads previously
saved tasks from a file named "task.txt" and
displays them in the listbox.
Save Task:
● Clicking the "Save Task" button saves the current
list of tasks in the listbox to a file named
"task.txt."
Show Inspiration:
● Clicking the "Show Inspiration" button displays a
random inspirational quote in a popup message

Scope of execution
We are actively seeking to enhance our to-do list
application by further emphasising specific aspects
that can augment its functionality, streamline its
usability, and infuse an element of enjoyment. Our
ongoing focus revolves around refining the user
experience, optimising ease of interaction, and
introducing elements of gamification to ensure that
utilising our to-do list becomes not only an efficient
task management solution but also an engaging and
satisfying endeavour.
We would like to improve our code
1. Customization: Allows the users to customise the

to do list to their own liking by changing the colours,
themes and layouts of their to do list.
2. Budget management: Allows the user to keep track

of their finance and keep a track of their bills.
3. Prioritisation: Allows the user to prioritise the task
from most important to least important.
4. Mark when task completed: Allows the user to mark

the task when it is completed.
5. Dead-lines: Allows the user to estimate a particular

time when the task should be completed.
6. Reminders: Provides the user with timely

notification as the dead-line approaches.
7. Pomodoro clock: Adds a timer for which a user can

focus and complete their tasks with breaks in
between.
8. Data Visualization: Displays user data in visual

appealing graphs and charts for better
understanding.
9. Voice assistants: Enable integration with
voice-activated virtual assistants for hands-free task
management.
10.Automated Task Creation : Allow users to create

tasks automatically based on triggers, events, or
specific conditions.
Conclusion
● In summary, the "To-Do List" app helps you stay
organised by managing your tasks With its
easy-to-use interface, you can add, delete, and
prioritise tasks. Plus, it gives you a motivational
boost with random inspirational quotes. It's a
helpful tool to improve your productivity and keep
everything in order.
● We learned about Tkinter, an important GUI
library in Python, and various widgets that it
offers to manipulate and get the desired tasks
done through this python to-do list project. We
also learned about the basics of python
programming and in this way we have been

successful in building our very own To-do list
app.
