To add private todo items (or check-off any existing private todo items), make sure the _My Todos_ tab is selected, then select either the **Private Todos (This Page)** or **Private Todos (All Pages)** dropdown filter option,

After either private todos filter is selected, you can give your new **Private Todo List** a name, then click on the **Add New List** button (or press the _Enter_ key) to create a brand new private todo list to start adding items to.

Once you've created one or more private todo lists, you can start adding private todo items to them by adding the todo item text in the input field under the todo list of your choice, then click on the **Add Todo** (or press the _Enter_ key) to create a new todo item in that private todo list.

> **Tip:** Clicking on a checkbox next to any todo item will mark it off as completed, and if you click a completed checkbox, this will revert the todo item to being incomplete again.
