Last updated June 2026
Four free Excel templates for organizing your time and tasks: an hourly weekly schedule in 30-minute rows for time-blocking, a 2026 calendar with twelve monthly tabs plus a year-at-a-glance sheet, a to-do list with checkboxes that grays out done tasks and reds overdue ones, and a teacher grade book. Built for students, planners, and educators. Every download is an ordinary spreadsheet you can edit freely.

Weekly Schedule Template (Hourly, Excel)
Half-hour blocks from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM, seven day columns, one printable grid: the Schedule sheet maps an entire week at a glance. The header row and time column stay frozen while you scroll, so afternoon rows keep their labels. A free single-sheet .xlsx built for students, shift workers, and anyone who time-blocks their week.

calendar-2026.xlsx
2026 Calendar Template (Excel, Monthly Tabs)
Thirteen tabs cover the whole year: January through December plus a Year sheet showing all twelve mini-months on one page. Every grid starts on Sunday and is laid out from the real 2026 calendar, so dates land on the correct weekdays. Type events straight into the day cells, then print any month cleanly. One free .xlsx download, no setup.

todo-list.xlsx
To-Do List Template with Checkboxes (Excel)
Type a task, set a priority and a due date, then tick the Done column with a ✓ from its drop-down — finished items gray out and strike through, while anything past due that isn't done turns red on its own. A side panel counts done, open, and overdue tasks. The whole tracker lives on one Tasks sheet in a free .xlsx workbook.

grade-book.xlsx
Grade Book Template for Teachers (Excel)
Thirty students down the rows, ten assignments across the columns — the Grades sheet is sized for a real class roster. Type each assignment's points possible in row 4 and enter raw scores as they come in; the Total, Percent, and Letter columns grade themselves while a class-average row watches the whole group. A free one-sheet .xlsx for teachers.

Frequently asked questions
- Which template should I use to plan my week?
- Use the weekly schedule for time-blocking by the half hour from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM across all seven days. Use the to-do list instead when you are tracking tasks and deadlines rather than fixed time slots.
- What is the difference between the weekly schedule and the 2026 calendar?
- The weekly schedule breaks one week into 30-minute rows for hour-by-hour planning. The 2026 calendar gives a full month per tab plus a year view, better for appointments, deadlines, and holidays across longer stretches.
- Do these planners auto-fill dates and times?
- Partly. The weekly schedule's time column and the 2026 calendar's day grids come pre-filled from the real calendar, so you just type events in. The to-do list and grade book use formulas to count, total, and flag entries as you fill them.
