Time Management With Excel - Excel Templates

Daily Planner Excel Template

Sometimes you need visual support to get the most out of your day. Exactly for this purpose I have designed a day planner, which reminds little of Excel and focuses more on the actual sense: To divide my day perfectly.

For 2022 I present here a free vacation planner for smaller companies and employees.

With the last vacation planner, I have gradually published different versions. At the end, planners even for middle east were then on offer. In this article I will approach it a bit more structured and consider all forms from the beginning.

For anyone who works for a church or oversees or follows church events, I created this Excel template “Church Rota”. A kind reader of my blog alerted me that this was not yet in my collection of templates (thank you Deborah).

For 2021 I present a free holiday planning for smaller companies and staff.

At the time of publication, however, the topic “Corona” is still in the air and for many people the prospect of going on holiday (at least for 2020) is very much clouded. Even if the borders in Europe are open again and holiday destinations are reachable; the report on television about the flights already made makes me stay at home rather: Airplanes are completely booked out and are accordingly full. Sufficient protection is not to be thought of.

Of course, there are now many ways to plan appointments that do not rely on paper and pencil or a diary book, but are kept digitally. But at the craftsman or hairdresser next door, not everything has to be state-of-the-art. The trade does not suffer from this – it is only about scheduling work or services that should be fixed in time.

Vacationplanner 2020

The holiday planner for the current year (2019) has proved to be extremely popular and of course the holiday calendar for 2020 should not be missing! That’s why I’ve already started to create it.

A holiday planner is extremely helpful.

On the one hand, it helps the company or a department to make sure that someone always holds the position and that not all employees are suddenly on holiday. Well, there can always be cases of illness, but this is another construction site ?

On the other hand, a timely blocking of the own vacation can ensure that one uses his vacation days efficiently: Thus one can make by consideration of the holidays with 8 days 2 weeks vacation. As for example with use of Good Friday and Easter Monday.

The new template for holiday planning 2020

In the last Excel files for the planning of the holidays, I have also taken the following year into account in order to guarantee planning beyond the turn of the year. This is also the case in the current planner.

Break-Planner with excel

There can be a break schedule for different purposes

for the break planning of employees of a department, where always a person must be present, e.g. in order to ensure the telephone contact of customers, and
for the recording of break times for employees and workers who take their breaks themselves but have to record them.

For these 2 purposes I have prepared different break schedules in Excel, which hopefully will be useful for future break planning.

Vacationplanner 2019

Holidays for 2019 are still a long way off, but some companies need to plan for the long term to avoid understaffing. For this case, I have updated the vacation planner 2018 to 2019.

Update: There is a new planner for 2020.

Unlike the last vacation plan, this time there are three instead of two worksheets. Two for the year 2019 and one for the first six months of 2020. Thus, the holidays for the New Year or New Year can also be recorded immediately.

On the first two worksheets you will find 6 months each with the individual days of the week and room for 7 employees. You can print the sheets and mark with color or characters (for example, a cross or a dash) on which days which employee is on vacation.

Class Scheduler Excel Template

Keeping up with one’s schedule in school is essential, not only in receiving a decent education and the first building blocks for life, but also in learning discipline and getting organized. Years ago, I remember when visiting school, we had those nice tables and spreadsheets on the back or inside of the cover of our notebooks and every semester I filled it with my new class schedule.

Managing more than a few projects at the same time is quite a feat that can bring you headaches. People usually forget meetings, miss deadlines and end spending more time managing than doing actual work. This is where the overhead becomes more than the real work and you won’t be productive anymore and start wasting your own and your teammates valuable time down the road.
