cross off

Mark as done

To cross off is to draw a line through an item on a list to mark it as completed or no longer relevant: I crossed off eggs after adding them to the cart.

The phrase implies satisfaction in making progress through tasks.

You can also cross something off figuratively—eliminating options or possibilities: We can cross that idea off the list.
