My favorite time of year… time for spreadsheets and statistics! This is my second year sending out this spreadsheet for people to use, and it’s got just about everything I could think of (until I think of something new). You can use this sheet to keep track of:

Annual stats

Monthly stats

Project stats

Project stats

(New!) Publications submissions

And most of it is automated to make everything as easy as possible! It’s free to use but my Ko-Fi is linked in case anyone wants to contribute to my little writing fund. You can copy the template to use for yourself, and let me know if you have any questions!
