As I run through life, I usually come across something or some task that I think could use a little of the “optimization touch.” Which usually means making a spreadsheet or reusable template. That’s what’s here.
Templates:
- Book Reading Helper / Tracker This template is a good way of keeping track of what you’re reading, how much you enjoyed it, and some general notes or observations you had about it. The point is to act as a reminder, or review sheet, in a few months (or days!) when you’ve forgotten all about it.
- Natural Family Planning (NFP) Chart This template provides all of the space for information needed to chart fertility information based off of the sympto-thermal method of natural family planning.
- Project Purpose and Planning This template serves as THE starting point for all projects: books, ebooks, software, woodworking, you name it. A problem well stated is a problem half solved – start them out right!
- Project / Task Tracker This template captures some of the most important, 20,000 foot above type, information needed to keep tabs on your projects or major tasks. It serves as a great way to roll-up your year’s accomplishments for self-improvement or performance appraisal activities, too.
- Story Boards This template provides for 9 slides, with room for notes, to use when planning out a project, video, artwork, or anything else that could benefit from a visual planning method.
- Timecard Logs This template is good for keeping track of your time, and associated project identification or charge code numbers, when you work for companies that require this level of detail. Would also be good for contract folks out and about.
