The monthly schedule of doom

[valis2]

catsintheattic was asking me about my Excel schedule, and I thought, what the heck, I'll just make an entry about it and torture everyone.

I use a blank calendar format that I made myself (well, not like it's difficult). I then make a workbook containing several worksheets (each sheet corresponds to a new month), and as the years progress, I copy and paste the months and adjust the days.

Each worksheet is one month, and can be printed out on a single page. I use different colors for different things. Lavendar is for travelling, bright yellow is working the day job, and green is for shows.

See, most calendar templates are not very useful for me, because I like separate lines in each "cube" so that I can write out different things, like two appointments. And also, most programs make Sat/Sun too small, or they put Sun after Sat, and for me Sat & Sun are very much working days, so it really causes problems. I need full size cubes for those days because I work so much on weekends.

Now if I really were on the ball, I'd be able to organize my eBay stuff. *sighs* But I'm working on it!

And thank you so much for the birthday wishes! You're so sweet. *hugs*

heh...I would go absolutely mental without it, honestly. I can't remember what I'm doing, where, or with whom, without this lovely little bit of technology. ;)

OMG, I thought you were joking when you said you used a spreadsheet. Although now I really do understand how you manage to keep everything straight.

hahaha! Yes, I'm totally serious. If I don't use it, I double-book, and that is the very worst thing I can do, honestly. I used to do it occasionally before I started using this schedule, and it really messed me up.

Happy belated birthday wishes! Hope you had a good one.

(Just got back from a show in California so I didn't see the info about your b-day date until just now.)

I hope the show was great! :)
