Adulting Spreadsheet

About this download

The grown-up tasks you only think about once a year, in one sheet: 160+ ready life admin reminders sorted by month, with last done, next due and who handles it. Tick it off, and next month is already planned.

Undated: pick your own start month.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Pick your start month on Setup. Year 1 is the 12 months that begin there.
2. Type up to 4 names, then pick who handles each line.
3. Switch any of the 11 categories on or off, or switch one line off with its Active tick.

Each line has a cadence (Monthly, Every 2 months, Quarterly, Twice a year, Yearly, Every 2 years, Every 5 years or Pick months) and a suggested first month you can change. Tick the month when a line is done. The due months, Last done, Next due and Status (Overdue, Due this month, Coming up, Done, Off) are automatic: formulas work them out from your start month, cadence and ticks.

Product developed with the latest Excel version (Office 365) Desktop App. Older versions might not be able to support all the features.

This is an organizing tool for your own reminders. It is not financial, tax, legal, medical or insurance advice.

Suggested months are starting points only. Check your own dates, deadlines and rules, and change any month to fit your life.

WHAT IT IS NOT
