Michelle has done it again! Created a way to easily track the books I’ve read in so many ways. My favorite part of the spreadsheet is the ability to list the genre of the book after I read it. And if the genre isn’t there, well I can add them myself! Talk about awesome. If you’re looking for a simple formate to record your books this is it!
Simple, elegant solutions are my jam. I love things that are easy to implement and easy to use. This spreadsheet is definitely those things. I read a lot, and I like keeping track. This is absolutely perfect for that. Grab this if you love simplicity and being organized. :)
Thank you for your detailed steps to follow!
I love how simple and easy it is to set up the tracker! She gives very detailed instructions which I found to be very helpful!
Very easy to use. So helpful.
Let customers speak for us
from 224 reviewsI thought this was so fun & would tie great with some of the products I am building for my soon-to-be shop but I will be honest, I immediately started using it for myself. I am a habitual tv series starter & then I totally forget about going back to watch new episodes. It was a great purchase for myself & my shop! I am excited to start customizing it.
A really nice, simple template that is easy to turn into a unique product. Thanks again to Michelle!
All of Michelle's templates come with very detailed & easy to follow instructions. As a newbie to spreadsheets, I very much appreciate that!
Each of the templates & courses that I have seen so far from Michelle (& I picked up a few) have had thorough how-to videos & have been easy to implement step-by-step.
Thanks Michelle for making such great products! ☺️
This template is fantastic & the tutorials are easy to follow & I learned a few things I didn't know. As usual Michelle put together a great product. She is a great teacher & her products are always stunning & fun.
I love how easy this template is to use from both a customer standpoint and as a spreadsheet creator/seller. I can easily turn this into a few different products or add to it to increase value. The Gift Tracker would also be good to pair with this. Fantastic, easy to follow tutorials too!
Fantastically thought through, as with all her products! I love how easy it was to follow along with the provided template. Thoroughly enjoy learning with Michelle, she makes google sheets feel easy.
I have wanted to get into selling Google Sheet templates. I am familiar with Google Sheets, but not to the degree demonstrated in this class and this template. Everything was explained thoughtfully and thoroughly. I appreciated that attention to detail. I've followed the steps to create 3 variations and will soon be listing this Christmas card tracker in my Etsy store.
It's hard to rate this product less than 5 stars!
The clarity and ease of use are very important to me, and this product delivers on both. Michelle always goes above and beyond with her products. Her instructions are crystal clear, and her guidance on how to customize the template is absolutely top-notch.
Michelle’s products always overdeliver. She explains everything so clearly, and I’ve learned a lot from her. I just wish she would add more products to her website!
One of my favorite things about Michelle's templates are how easy they are to customize. I also really like that there is almost always a video tutorial that walk you through the templates. I have quite a few of these templates now & I have been able to easily add to them, adjust the colors, etc. They always work great & I highly recommend taking her free courses (or any for that matter) because she's a great teacher. It's a great recipe to make fantastic trackers & planners for your customers quickly that you be proud to sell!
I’m so glad I found Michelle’s templates! I’ve always been an Excel fan, but now I’ve completely fallen in love with Google Sheets. What I really appreciate about her template is how easy it is to use, with clear and detailed explanations. This particular one is simple yet straight to the point.
Michelle doesn’t just teach you how to customize the template, she also shows you how to deliver it to your customers. I think this is a crucial step if you want to sell templates, especially Google Sheets templates. Thanks, Michelle!
This is a great task tracker with auto updating calendar. Michelle does a fantastic job with providing step by step instructions on how to customize and also takes the time to explain every feature in the spreadsheet. Thank you for a another great product!
I love all of Michelle’s templates, great instructional videos, and quick to list. Listed the template and made a few sales already. Also, had a customer email to say how much she loved the spreadsheet!
Michelle guides you through every step with a teaching style that’s so relatable and so easy to listen to.
All of Michelle's templates and workshops are super easy to use and informative. Thanks again, Michelle! :)
