This template is designed to make it easier to organize your life without overcomplicating things. Whether you're managing work projects, planning personal goals, or just trying to keep track of your thoughts, the Simple Manager provides a structure that’s easy to use and flexible enough to adapt to whatever you need.

• Areas: Broad categories for your life, like "Professional," "School," or temporary ones such as "House Renovation" or "Wedding"
• Plans: projects tied to an Area, like "Prepare Client Presentation" or "Redesign Kitchen"
• Tasks: The actionable steps needed to accomplish your Plans. Keep them simple, clear, and tied to a Plan, or jot down quick to-dos to stay organized.
• Resources: A space to capture notes, ideas, and supporting materials—a digital notebook that supports your Areas, Plans, and Tasks.

This system is built to grow with you. Start with what’s on your mind right now: jot down ideas in Resources, turn them into Plans when they’re ready, and break them down into Tasks to get things done. Adjust and refine as you go to make it your own.

Copy this template and remove this callout to begin. The databases include example data to demonstrate usage—delete or customize as needed. Comments on each section are included to guide you; feel free to delete them once you’re familiar with how the template works.
