Printable to-do list
A to-do list with a line for the title, a date in the corner, and a checkbox against every item. One page, one day, which is the constraint that makes a paper list work.

The page is the point
A digital to-do list has no bottom, so it grows without limit and every item you add quietly reduces the value of the ones already there. A sheet of paper stops. When you run out of rows you have to decide what actually matters, which is the part of planning that software lets you avoid. If your list reliably overflows the page, that is information about your commitments, not about the page.
Why the date field earns its space
An undated list is indistinguishable from any other undated list once there are three of them on the desk. Dating it also makes the unfinished items visible as a choice: when you copy yesterday's leftovers onto today's sheet you notice the ones you have now copied four times, and copying something out by hand for the fourth time is usually enough to make you either do it or drop it.
Ten millimeters, deliberately
This preset is one millimeter taller than the plain checklist and gives up a row to the title and date, so you get 24 rows on Letter instead of 28. That is not an accident. Two dozen is already more than most people finish in a day, and a list with visible empty space at the bottom reads as achievable in a way that a full page does not.
Printing it accurately
This only measures correctly if your printer doesn't rescale the page. In the print dialog set Scale: 100%, not "Fit to page" or "Shrink oversized pages". If you're not sure it worked, print the calibration page, measure the ruler on it with a real ruler, and it will tell you exactly what your printer is doing to the page.
