How to use this spreadsheet
Open the workbook in Excel, Google Sheets, LibreOffice, or Apple Numbers. On the Calendar sheet, enter each post in a row: date, weekday, platform, format, idea, status, and link. Use the dropdown menus for platform, format, and status to keep entries consistent. The Summary sheet automatically counts posts by platform, format, and status, and shows how many fall in the month you select. The printable PDF has the same layout as the Calendar sheet, with 24 lines for a month. Print it on US Letter or A4 paper. The How to use sheet explains five short steps. This spreadsheet helps you plan posts by date and platform, track each post's format and status, and see a monthly overview of your content. It is a planning template with no macros, no sign up required, and no email needed.
Tips
- Update the status column weekly to reflect whether a post is drafted, scheduled, or published.
- Reuse the workbook each month by clearing the Calendar sheet and saving a new copy.
- Add your own platforms and formats by editing the dropdown lists in the data validation settings.
