It'd be handy for stuff you don't do all the time but don't want to skip steps on (such as preparing for a trip, covering anything from resetting the thermostat to remembering to pack your phone charger), coaching others (chore steps for kids, pet care for house-sitters), or teaching yourself a new routine (whether the same every morning or a different list for each day of the week).

Single sheet of paper I can cross things of on works for me!

There's the 3x5.45 card wheel pictured, and a separate business card sized wheel. I've replaced the post with a more flexible ring in my card wheel. I don't like how the posts only let the cards turn in a circle. You can't flip them over. You’re actually confusing two products and mixing them together.

I use something similar to this to keep notes on a couple of fiction projects I'm working on, but hadn't thought to extend the format to tasks. My 'wheels' are home-made, though, using binder rings, index cards and a hole punch. Binder rings are around $2.50 for a pack of 8 or 10 of various sizes, I got the index cards on sale for 25 cents per 100 during a sale, and I had the hole punch. You could do the same thing with outdated business cards (your own or those you end up with when you clean out your biz contacts). Very clever!
