Are you looking for a convenient and efficient way to manage your schedule? Look no further than Google Sheets! With a variety of planning templates available, you can easily track your daily, weekly, and monthly activities. Whether it’s appointments, events, or any other plans, these templates have got you covered.
Custom Settings for Google Sheets Planning Templates
Let’s start by exploring the custom settings for these planning templates. The yellow cells in the templates allow you to control various settings to suit your needs.
Set Custom Start Date / Duration
To begin, simply enter a start date in cell B2. The template will automatically generate the days and dates for the entire week, starting from the chosen date. If you prefer a week that starts on Sunday and ends on Saturday, make sure to select a Sunday date. At the top of the sheet, you’ll find the corresponding year once the date has been set.
Custom Duration and Shaded Weekends
In cell I6, you’ll find a checkbox that allows you to shade the columns for Saturdays and Sundays in gray. If you prefer not to have weekends shaded, simply uncheck the box.
Additionally, cell I9 enables you to set the increment for each row representing the listed schedules throughout the day. Whether you prefer hourly, half-hourly, or even 15-minute increments, you can customize the template to match your specific schedule.
In cells I11 and I13, you can set the start and end times, respectively. The template will then list the schedules for each day based on these custom times. This ensures that the schedule list does not exceed the specified end time, regardless of the chosen increment.
Daily Planning Template
The daily planning template is perfect for those who want to track their schedules in great detail on a daily basis. Each row allows you to enter your appointments, tasks, or any other activities for different times throughout the day.

Weekly Planning Template
If you prefer to track your schedule over multiple weeks, the weekly planning template is ideal for you. Similar to the daily template, it allows you to plan your activities for each day of the week. However, with the weekly template, you can track your schedule for up to 4 weeks.
Each week is represented on its own tab, and the dates and duration will automatically fill in for all tabs based on the settings you choose on the first tab.
On the first tab, you can find an example of the first week in the weekly planning template. As you navigate through the additional tabs, such as Week 2, Week 3, and Week 4, you’ll notice that there are no yellow cells. This is because the settings for the entire template are controlled by the “Week 1” tab. On the additional tabs, all you need to do is fill in your schedule.
