Of the years I\u2019ve used Trello, Todoist, Asana, paper to do lists and we\u2019ve even designed our own Interactive Minds daily to do list.\r\n\r\nBut this year I wanted more. I wanted to find a to do list system that didn\u2019t only list my tasks, but that helped me to plan when<\/strong> I work on them. Not knowing a system that natively enabled this, I turned to a trusty spreadsheet.\r\n\r\nAnd so I created a new kind of to do list, a digital one that is formed in a spreadsheet. I\u2019ve made it in Google Sheets so that I can have access to it on the go, from multiple devices and it is definitely the most simple organisation system I\u2019ve ever used. To create the template, I decided to simply mark each day and date on every 7th row of the spreadsheet, and to map out three months worth of dates in advance. What that means is that my rows show a date with six blank rows underneath and I allow multiple columns for each day. In fact, the columns are open ended, but the intent is that I shouldn\u2019t have to scroll sideways so I don\u2019t use more than 3 or 4 columns worth of tasks (that\u2019s about 18 tasks if it was full, which is plenty!) To use the template, I simply add tasks underneath the date that I want to work on them.\r\n
