SPMP

Two Excel workbooks that ran my whole high school plan, every goal and deadline rolling up into one number on a front page. I built it for myself, but it's written in third person, like it was meant for other students too.

Sheet 02 of 04/Why

Why a spreadsheet

High school throws grades, tests, deadlines and volunteer hours at you all at once, so I built one sheet that could hold the whole pile instead of just today's slice of it.

A wide spreadsheet calendar covering 2021 to 2023 month by month, with scattered days highlighted in orange and a few in blue and magenta
PL 04Three school years laid out day by day, with the days that carry a deadline picked out in orange.
A spreadsheet calendar of the college application year with orange bars across deadline weeks and short handwritten style notes such as email kathy beside certain dates
PL 05The application year in the companion workbook, with deadline blocks in orange and the small errands that actually move an application written in the margin.

Sheet 03 of 04/Parts

Issued as separate drawings

This project is more than one project. Each part below is its own set, with its own sections and pictures.

Sheet 04 of 04/Again

What I would do differently

If I did this again I'd use way fewer sheets, forty across two files was more than the plan ever needed.
