This is a blank GANTT-style worksheet for informal planning. Basically, I print this out
like graph paper. I turn on PRINT GRID LINES and REPEAT TOP AND LEFT columns.
Weeks are numbered using the ISO convention
If you want to change the start date, type the new date into cell D3. The ribbon
calendar will automatically update.
If you want to add more items to the list, select the entire row by clicking the
ROW NUMBER as designated (row 18 , where it says "select this entire row").
Right-click and choose INSERT from the menu. If it says "Insert Cells" or something
like that you have to clear the currect selection by hitting the ESC key.

To add more columns, you will need to extend the date information in row 6,
which holds the dates from which all formatting rules draw. You'll also need to
extend the CONDITIONAL FORMATTING rules ranges (look it up).
To group rows, use the DATA menu and group/ungroup as shown. There are expansion
icons on the left-hand side of the screen.
To print, make a selection of what part you'd like printed, and when you go to the
PRINT dialog box, make sure you're printing the SELECTION and not the worksheet.
Use PRINT PREVIEW to make sure tht it looks right.
If you are using a non-English version of Excel and the dates are not formatting correctly,
please read the "Date Formatting Strings" worksheet and adjust the value(s) there.
Enjoy!
