It has whiteboard sections to write tasks in, an eraser, and a timer. You should be able to use it flat or on the wall, though it's a little bulky to use flat. + +![caption: the final whiteboard](whiteboard-todo.jpg) + +The blue is mostly spray paint, with some hand acrylic painting near the tape. The various bits on top are held in place with magnets, which I epoxied. + +The cost to make this was $17. $5 for the whiteboard marker, $5 for the MDF board, and $7 for the timer. The eraser I made for free, I already had paints, whiteboard tape, epoxy, and magnets. + +![caption: in-progress whiteboard. note some blue LEDs on the right](whiteboard-todo-making.jpg) + +Originally I had planned to add a bunch of electronics (LEDs for which task is active), but I decided not to. I was having a rough time getting my microcontroller to work, or figuring out how to mount hardware. I don't think I would have been happy with the electronic version (even with enough time to do it well), and I am with this version.
