So I am new to Glowforge but I own a creative company and have tried all the online organizational tools, which are great but I have to go to them to make them useful. So I have always had a whiteboard up in my office, but really hated the way I had to continually move stuff around as projects were completed. My wife was always…have you updated your whiteboard. So I created using Whiteboard - project boards from Home Depot. It is black on one side and a marker board on the other. Designed what I now call my Miniature Whiteboard Project Organizer. It allows me to stack my projects, in a list, as I get them done remove and erase them, then the other boards slide right down the groove I created for them to stand in. I added 4 slots for pens and created a second design that added a tiered display for projects. Now they sit right in front of me and I can reorganize. Grab one to take notes if I get a call from the client and instantly add it to my display so it is always in sight. After creating this I thought about how students could use it for assignments, etc. Got such good feedback from a Facebook group, I created an Etsy account so they could purchase the digital file. Hope you all like it.

Welcome to the community. I love what you made, here. I’m a very visual person, so this is very appealing. Had I a business such as yours I could really see using these. Being the retired person that I am now though, they wouldn’t get enough use. Keep showing us all your creations, please.

I can see this as a To Do list as well. As a teacher this could come in handy. Can we cut whiteboard material with the Glowforge? Is it just the shower board you can get at Home Depot/Lowe’s or did you buy whiteboard material?
you can buy whiteboard sheets at HD/Lowes and cut/engrave them.
Welcome to the forum. That is a really cool idea. Love the design of it. Would be a good way to keep track of all sorts of things - how much of an item you have on hand or how many you need to make (for those who sell, me - I’m just a “for myself” kinda gal), kids chores for the day, etc.
