How to use it

A small routine that keeps the planner useful.

The best gift tracker template is the one you can update in under a minute.

  1. 01

    Start with a person

    Give each person their own row. This keeps a passing idea attached to the person who inspired it.

  2. 02

    Add the moment

    Record the occasion and exact date so an idea has a real planning deadline.

  3. 03

    Choose the next action

    Use the single status field for Idea, Planning, Purchased, or Given as the gift moves forward.

  4. 04

    Keep the useful history

    After giving, record what you gave last time before clearing space for the next idea.

Choose your format
