Daily To-Do
Jan 15, 2009 General
I needed an easy way to make sure I get some things done this year, each day. (part of my 2009 Soul & Spirit resolution!) I looked around, and there are some things, but being lazy, they were too much trouble. Ended up making a simple Excel spreadsheet that I can just double-click in a cell when/if I got it done each day. It highlights the current day, and on double-click changes the value of the cell from nothing to 1 or back again.
I put a shortcut in the Startup folder on my computer, so I update it each morning.
Feel free to take a look and use it if you like! It is an Office 2007 macro-enabled workbook for the double-click, so you’ll have to let it run macros.
