I’ve put together a free To-Do List & Dynamic Calendar spreadsheet in Google Sheets to help you keep track of your tasks, appointments, and deadlines. On busy days, it’s easy to forget what’s due — this sheet shows everything at a glance and keeps you on top of your schedule.
Whether you’re managing work tasks, personal projects, or home appointments, this tool makes it simple to see what’s coming up and what’s overdue.
How It Works
Open the spreadsheet and start at the “Start Here” section. Select the year and month, and the calendar updates automatically — no need to type directly on the calendar grid.
Add your tasks in the Tasks Table. Enter the start date, due date, and select the appropriate options from the drop-down boxes for status, category, and priority. There’s space for two tasks per day, but you can extend the table if more tasks fall on the same date.
The month you select under “Start Here” is highlighted in yellow, so you can filter by colour to see only that month. Filter by orange to quickly find today’s tasks. Completed tasks grey out automatically, and overdue tasks turn red so you can see at a glance what needs attention.
Keep adding tasks as needed and flick through the months to plan ahead. The dynamic calendar updates automatically, showing all tasks that are due and their due dates.
