Wednesday Worksheets: Submissions Tracker, Shopping List and Gratitude Journal

This is part of a series of worksheets to help you organize your life! Click the tag for more!

This week we have:

• Submissions Tracker: This can be used for stories, novels, articles, or, really, anything else that needs to be submitted, because it's a very straight-forward sheet. There's space for the date, the item being submitted, who it was sent to, and how long they take to read it, as well as to note a pay rate and whether or not it was accepted. You can use a sheet for multiple projects going out at a time, or you can use a whole sheet for multiple subs of one project.
• Shopping List: A nice itemized and totally open shopping list divided by Staples, Fruits and Veggies, Meats, Dairy, Proteins, Canned and Dry goods, Starches, and Household goods.
• Gratitude Journal: Some people note their gratitudes daily, others just when they need to remember something, but this sheet will help with both. There's several cells per sheet, with space for the date and for three things you're feeling grateful for.

Wednesday Worksheets: Weekly Work Tracker, Yearly Events, Subscriptions, Critique Page

This is part of a weekly series to help you life a more organized life. Click the tag for more sheets!

This week, we have:

• Weekly Work Tracker: A cell for each day of the week, perfect for those who have one job (or, if you have more than one, a sheet per job, and a weeks' worth of info for each). There's date, day, time in and out, total hours, total pay, and a section for notes in each cell. At the end, there's an open cell for reflection--the use of which is up to you!
• Yearly Events: A one-page, at-a-glance grid to write a quick note to yourself about things that happen once a year: birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, celestial events, yearly fees, whatever. There's a column for each month of the year, and there's 31 cells in each column, so you get the whole year on one page. There's not a whole lot of space, but it's enough for a year-at-a-glance!
• Subscriptions: A chart to track your subscriptions! There's the usual date, name and cost columns, but I've added a column to note the kind, too--magazine, service, delivery, whatever you have a subscription to!
• Critique Sheet: There's lots of times when you're asked to crit something--a work, an idea, an event. When you are, you can use this sheet, that helps you outline strengths, weaknesses, and offer advice. Pretty straightforward, but a great place to start.

Sheets are free to download, and if you use them, link back to here! If there are any that you'd like to see me make, just drop a comment and I'll add them to the list!

Wednesday Worksheets: Dreams, Travel, Obligations and Bonus for being late

This is part of a series of weekly posts featuring worksheets to help you organize your life and live it better! To see more, click on the Wednesday Worksheets tag!

This week has been one of those weeks, and so I didn't get to post these yesterday. Since I'm a day late, I'm giving you four worksheets instead of the usual three!

This week, we have:

• Dream Journal: You write out your dream in the middle space, in whatever order it comes to your recall, then, in the spaces on either side, you note where you missed a detail, or where an image shows up that you've dreamed before, or what you think may be the meaning or the cause of a part of the dream. Then, at the bottom, I've given a little space for musing on the dream to see what meaning or sense you can make of it. 
• This one works best if you periodically return to these pages and add notes as you have more dreams and more knowledge of your subconscious to help interpret.
• The point is to make a running and usable database of your own mind's interpretations so you know why you're dreaming--and to collect any inspirations and story ideas and whatever else you can get from them.
• Print out a stack of these and keep them and a pen close to your bed so you can always have them on hand!
• Travel Journal: There's space for an overview of what you meant to do in the day, then a large space for what actually happened (all your memories and stories go here), and at the bottom, space for you to make notes to yourself, to have a little reaction to the day's events, and a space for souvenirs--either actual things stuck to the page, like ticket stubs or whatever, or space to list what keepsakes you collected that day.
• It's made for a page a day; simply print out one for each day of your trip!
• Monthly Obligations: A straightforward listing of each day, with space to add bills, paydays, meetings, birthdays and anniversaries, parties, trips, appointments, and whatever else you need to remember on a month-view page!
• BONUS: In-Reading Notes: Sometimes as you're reading, there are things you want to copy down or make note of. Here, you can! At the top of the page is space for all the info so you can find or cite the book again, then a large open space for you to make annotations and copy out quotes or note pages, or whatever else you may need to keep. Then, at the bottom, a little space to give an overall impression of the book.
• This is great for research, too, since you can note arguments, quotes and the like easily.

So here are the downloads!

• Dream Journal
• Travel Journal
• Monthly Obligations Sheet
• In-Reading Notes

Wednesday Worksheets: Goals, Brainstorming, Exercise

This post is part of an ongoing series where I post worksheets to help you organize and clarify your life--all aspects of it! Click the tag to see more! 

This week's worksheets are for Goal Planning, Brainstorming and Exercise Tracking!

1. The Goal Planner is for more long-term goals, and so is divided into sections for Monthly, One Year, and Five Year Goals. When you fill it out, make sure you put milestones--where do you want to be when you get to each of those time-frames? The Monthly one features each month of the year with a little space for each, great for New Years--but if you're starting now, just start where you are and either loop back to the top for the next year, or print a new page!
2. There are a million ways to brainstorm, but this is a good, open one that I like to use. First, write down everything you know already--all the details in your head. Once your mind is clear, switch to the Refinements section and see where you can expand and connect up ideas. The go to the Concrete Plans section and determine the next steps.
3. There's few things that are as empowering and as encouraging as actually seeing that you're actually making progress! This is a weekly tracker with space for six workouts a week, assuming you'll rest at least one day a week. At the top, there's space for weekly and monthly goals, and at the bottom a space to plan next week.

So have at em! The sheets are linked here:

• Goal Planning Worksheet
• Brainstorming Worksheet
• Exercise Tracking Worksheet

Wednesday Worksheets: Debt, Books and Agendas

This post is part of an ongoing series where I post worksheets to help you organize and clarify your life--all aspects of it!

This week's worksheets are a Monthly Debt Tracker, A Monthly Books Read Tracker, and a Weekly Agenda.

1. The Debt Tracker accounts for money in and money out and has a totaling list at the bottom; you can use it as a register for your checking account, but it's intended to help you see your total debt from all accounts, and the steps being made to combat that debt.
2. The Book Tracker has spaces for title and author, but also asks you some questions to help you metabolize what you've just read. There's space on this two-page sheet to track four books; if you read more than a book a week, just print more copies of the second page!*
3. The Agenda is divided by To Do and Should Do (which can also be used as a Want To Do) to help you prioritize each day, and I've included one that starts on Monday, because that's when I start my week, and one that starts on the more traditional Sunday.

All sheets are original to me. All sheets are free for you to use, but if you post them other places, link back to here and keep the copyright notices intact. Come back next week for three more random but useful worksheets!
