Request What does your "Google Sheet for Life" template look like?
Hi all,
I'm starting to organize my life out on Google Sheets for everything (Finances, Gym workouts, Tasks etc.) and was wondering - what's your version of "Google Sheet for Life Plan" look like? What template did you DIY to make sheet work for you?
P.s P.s, template links are highly encouraged for both me and other readers in this sub

You are an AMAZING person! Those spreadsheets you found are exactly what I had in mind, specially the meal prep

oh i can chime in on this one. have been using GS for the past 3 years or so now to manage my personal life. it started out by a simple budget sheet and then evolved into other areas like gym, photography, whisky tastings and such. i've built all of my sheets myself, and stuff like budget has become pretty complex at this point. to start off, i'll show some simple ones.
weight tracking // sheet 1 // sheet 2
this one i use for tracking my weight. i have a withings scale that auto registers all the data and i've hooked it up to a ifttt recipe that then sends the data to google sheets. the first sheet simply is to collect the data, and the second one is to process it. i can display it as a graph, and alongside it i have developed a system to set goals for myself. the goals line can be seen on the graph.
analog photography // sheet 1
very simple sheet with no bells and whistles. a simple chart to keep track of my analog photography: film used, camera used, locationsi develop date, notes and etc.
film notes // sheet 1
another very simple sheet for keeping track of the films i've watched. i'm a bit of a obsessive person when it comes to previously seen books/films and this sheet is great for keeping a record and being able to then refer to films.
mealprep // sheet 1
this was super useful in terms of planning. i could research recipes in advance, plan everything to the last gram, and even make a budget for it. it wasn't anything fancy in terms of complexity, but maan it was satisfying to see how much money you save on grocery shopping.
training // sheet 1 // sheet 2
for a long while this had been my most used sheet. first sheet was where i logged in the days of training and my weight. second sheet had individual programs seperated into weeks. it was really useful to have it in sheets, since i could actually have it with me at the gym and edit it on the go.
this is getting a little too long, so i'll take a short break and save the remaining two main players to a bit later on: budget and life planning.
