What is a daily work schedule template?

Ever missed an appointment or forgotten to take care of something important? We all have. Writing down a daily schedule helps lessen the chance of a bad outcome.

While scribbling your plan on a notepad is better than nothing, it’s not a very structured or organized way to handle daily tasks. A daily work schedule template provides an easy method for planning tasks and managing time effectively.

A schedule template can be as simple as a paper planner with space to write your to-do list for each day. But daily work schedule templates can also get a lot more sophisticated, with colorized labels for different tasks, due dates, notifications, etc.

Customized schedules and automated sections are par for the course… when using the right platform . We’re not talking about Excel here.

Why use a daily work schedule template?

The biggest reason to use a daily work schedule template is it helps keep track of and remember everything. Whether using this template to stay on top of essential work deadlines or avoid missing meetings, a daily work schedule keeps all to-dos in one place.

Specifically…

It helps with time management: A template can help schedule work most efficiently and productively. Some are even designed for particular time management systems , like the Pomodoro Technique or Bullet Journaling.

Shared templates let the whole team plan a daily schedule together: Daily schedule templates can also be used by teams to coordinate everybody’s work. They’re an excellent way to manage the day-to-day details of large projects.

What are some examples of daily work schedule templates?

A daily work schedule template is a flexible tool that can be used in various situations — from outlining ongoing tasks to planning a project for an entire department.

Here are several variations of a daily work schedule template:

1. To-do list templates

The most basic form of a daily work schedule is a to-do list .

This template can track daily and weekly work assignments, schedule appointments, or keep a family calendar.

2. Time blocking template

One of the most popular time management methods is time blocking .

Time blocking is the opposite of multitasking. Instead of trying to focus on several tasks at once, large chunks of time are scheduled to work on a single item. 

Use a daily schedule template to block off specific times to work on each task.

Other time management methods can also use a schedule. For example, a template based on the Eisenhower Matrix involves sorting tasks by importance and urgency.

3. Project task tracking template

Project management is a complex process that requires high-level planning and detailed execution.

The daily task tracker template helps teams plan and schedule day-to-day tasks to keep projects on track. The whole team can share the template so everyone can see who’s doing what and how it fits into the big picture.

The weekly to-do list template helps keep track of weekly tasks. Set a priority status for each task, assign it to an owner, or discuss it with the team.

Team tasks template

FAQs about daily work schedule templates

How do i make a daily work schedule.

Creating a daily schedule using a customizable template is easy.

Start by thinking about what you want to track with each task — like time to completion, due dates, etc. If anything is missing from the template, add it! You can also remove any unnecessary columns or sections. A sample daily work schedule may include:

• List of tasks
• Status of each task
• Categories of tasks (work, school, home, etc.)
• The task owner
• Time allotted for the task
• Time spent on the task so far

Once you’ve tweaked the template to perfection, dive in and start using it!

Shared template? Ensure everyone has proper access — full access, view-only, etc., depending on their roles. Our easily customizable work schedule template is a great place to start.

Take a few minutes each day to review your schedule and add new tasks if necessary. Budget enough time as it can take a while to build a habit.

Can I make a daily work schedule with Excel?

Of course! Both Google Sheets and Excel offer several calendars and to-do list templates.

However, Sheets and Excel templates lack most of the features and flexibility of a Work OS like monday.com. For example, you can’t assign tasks to team members or integrate a daily schedule with the rest of your digital workspace.

Is there a daily work schedule app?

There’s no shortage of scheduler apps and time management tools for smartphones.

Look for a daily work schedule template — like monday.com’s — that can be used from desktop and mobile. You don’t want to be locked into managing your whole schedule with an app that only lives on your phone.

Work schedule templates

We created these free work schedule templates to help you be more productive and efficient with your work tasks.

You'll notice that some templates cover your daily, weekly, and monthly assignments, while other templates only provide you with one type of assignment.

That's because some types of schedules demand more details, such as the Work from home template — which is why this one has both the daily and weekly versions.

Work from home schedule template

When working from home, you often have to deal with many distractions, either coming from your neighborhood, from the people you live with, or your pets.

One of the best ways to avoid all these interruptions and get back on track with your work is to follow your schedule .

Here are two Work from home schedule templates you can use to organize your workday — or workweek, if that suits you better.

Weekly work from home schedule template

The Weekly work from home schedule template breaks down each day into three sections: Morning, Afternoon, and Evening.

Furthermore, there's a Weekly work checklist, and Meetings/calls section.

If you enjoy having an overview of your weekly tasks, this template will suit you, especially if you have flexible working hours . In this case, you'll be able to choose the time of day for your job assignments, then figure out when you'll fit in your home chores or meal preps.

Of course, even if you have fixed working hours, this template will help you make an 8-hour workday schedule that suits your needs.

To use it properly, you should fill this template out either on Sunday afternoon/Monday morning or note down new tasks every day.

Start by choosing the time of the day for each assignment during the week.

To ensure you'll get the most out of every workday, keep in mind your circadian rhythm — leave the most complex tasks for the time of the day when you're most alert. Then, be sure to add all your significant weekly tasks to the Weekly work checklist, as well as jot down all your weekly meetings and calls.

We hope that the Work from home weekly schedule template will help you finish your job tasks on time.

Once again, remember to take frequent breaks in between assignments.

Daily work from home schedule template

The Daily work from home schedule template ensures you stay on track with all your daily tasks. This template breaks down your day into hourly segments. In addition, there's a valuable section called the Daily work checklist, where you can input all the most crucial activities/tasks of the day. Moreover, there's a To-do list for tomorrow, which you can fill out at the end of each day.

Anyone working from home can surely benefit from using this template. We suggest opening this template first thing in the morning.

Make sure to note down your most vital tasks and activities in the Daily work checklist section. Next, write down your meetings of the day. Once you do that, you'll have a better idea of when you'll be free to deal with your significant assignments. Don't forget to include breaks throughout the day, too.

Finally, to avoid working overtime, you should note down all the tasks for tomorrow in the To-do list for tomorrow.

Assignments schedule template

We created two types of templates that allow you to keep track of your assignments:

• Weekly assignments schedule, and
• Daily assignments schedule.

Weekly assignments schedule template

The Weekly assignments schedule is quite straightforward — there's a simple table where you can add tasks for each day of the week. In addition, we included the Task deadlines section and Reminders.

If you're looking for an easy way to keep a record of all your weekly assignments, this template will fit your needs.

We suggest filling it out at the beginning of a week.

Of course, if there are any unexpected tasks throughout the week, be sure to add them to the Weekly assignments schedule.

Now, this template also ensures that you complete all your tasks before the deadline, which is why we encourage you to enter your tasks' deadlines in the middle section.

Furthermore, there's the Reminders section, where you can add any important reminders or notes for your weekly assignments.

⬇️ GET Weekly assignments schedule template (Google Sheets)

⬇️ GET Weekly assignments schedule template (Google Docs)

Daily assignments schedule template

The Daily assignments schedule is a template that helps you figure out your top 3 priorities of the day. Moreover, since this template contains The Eisenhower Matrix technique section, it allows you to distinguish between important/not important, and urgent/not urgent assignments.

This template is practical because it ensures that you deal with your tasks according to their urgency and importance.

Once you fill out the Eisenhower Matrix technique section, simply scroll down to the hourly table and choose time blocks for these assignments.

Finally, don't forget to enter some vital tasks for tomorrow.

⬇️ GET Daily assignments schedule template (Google Docs)

Yearly time off schedule template

The Yearly time off schedule template allows you to keep track of your time off throughout the year. In this template, we covered several vital categories of time off, such as paid vacation, sick leave, earned days, and others.

Also, there are three important sections for each type of time off: Consumed days, Available days, and Balance.

So, how to use the Yearly time off template?

It couldn't be simpler.

First, enter the balance for each type of time off. For particular types, such as sick leave, you may not have a balance, but for paid vacation, you definitely will.

Then, whenever you receive approval to take time off for any reason, just enter the number of days in the proper row (the type of time off) and in the right column (the current month).

Next, the template will automatically calculate the number of Consumed days (for each type of time off) and the number of Available days left.

Thus, you'll have a better idea of how many days off you've used so far and how many there are left by the end of the year.

⬇️ GET Yearly time off schedule template (Google Sheets)

Weekly meetings schedule

The Weekly meetings schedule is suitable for those of you who have meetings every day. With this template, you'll be able to keep track of all your meetings. In addition, you can add any significant details, such as meeting agenda, topic, and start and end time.

The Weekly meetings schedule covers five days of the week. To make the most of this template, you should open it at the beginning of the week and enter all your weekly meetings. Be sure to include details such as where meetings take place or the links to online calls.

To ensure that you're fully prepared for any meeting, add its topic and agenda, if needed.

Then, once the meeting starts, you can follow its agenda, but also write notes in the Important notes section.

Non-work schedule templates

Apart from templates for organizing your job tasks, meetings, and time off, we created some non-work schedules you can use for free, too.

Here's the list of the templates you can use for planning your time outside of work:

• Household chores schedule,
• Workout schedule,
• Budget schedule,
• Travel schedule, and
• Meal prep schedule.

Household chores schedule template

We made two types of household chores templates:

• Monthly household chores, and
• Weekly household chores schedule template.

Monthly household chores template

The Monthly household chores template helps you deal with all your errands around the house. This template covers a weekly breakdown of chores, but also some additional ones that you do once a month.

You can add your typical weekly chores.

Plus, you can add the names of the people in charge of these errands, which comes in handy if you share your household chores with your partner, roommate, or family members.

There's a column called Additional monthly chores, where you can enter some of the errands you deal with every month. For example, cleaning/vacuuming furniture or cleaning windows.

Moreover, we included another section for all the outdoor chores, which comes in handy if you live in a house. To make sure you won't forget any outside-the-house monthly errands, be sure to add them to this list.

⬇️ GET Monthly household chores schedule template (Google Sheets)

⬇️ GET Monthly household chores schedule template (Google Docs)

Weekly household chores schedule template

The Weekly household chores schedule template allows you to keep an eye on all your household chores during the week. We included a separate schedule for each day, along with Before work and After work columns, so that you can plan your errands accordingly.

In addition, we added the Who's in charge column to this template, too.

Since this template covers seven days, you can enter all your weekly errands at the beginning of the week.

Then, simply add the name of the person in charge of every chore.

Once you or your family members finish a specific errand, just put a checkmark next to it.

Also, during the workweek, you can decide whether you'll deal with these chores before or after work.

And, on weekends, you can choose whether you'll complete your errands in the morning or afternoon.

We didn't include evenings on weekends, because you should have some time to relax on Saturdays and Sundays.

Finally, this template contains the Shopping list — so, whenever you remember you need to buy milk or anything else, note it down here.

Workout schedule template

The Workout schedule template allows you to organize your exercise routine.

No matter whether you prefer working out in a gym or from home, you'll surely find our monthly and weekly workout templates useful.

Monthly workout schedule template

The Monthly workout schedule template ensures you stay consistent with your monthly workout targets. Setting such long-term goals is vital because it gives you a clearer picture of what you want to achieve. Thus, when you have a monthly target, you'll be able to make weekly plans. This will also help you plan your days accordingly.

That's why the Monthly workout schedule template contains the Overall goal field. So, your goal can be losing weight, improving your physical condition, or anything else. Just remember that goals should be challenging enough, you don't want objectives that are too easy or too difficult to achieve.

Now, how can you use this template?

Once you adopt your monthly objectives, you should decide what types of exercises will get you closer to your goal.

Then, choose how frequently you'll do such types of workouts.

Also, whether you'll do your exercises with or without equipment is up to you, and you can add these details to your schedule, too.

If you haven't been working out before, or you've taken a longer break, please make sure you consult your fitness instructor first. This way, you'll be sure your workout plan is suitable for you, and you'll avoid any injuries.

Weekly workout schedule template

Apart from the Monthly workout schedule template, we also created the one for your weekly plans. First, you can plan your monthly routine, then use the Weekly workout schedule template to add more details.

As you can see, the Weekly workout schedule template covers several workout categories:

• HIIT (high-intensity interval training), and
• Yoga/stretching.

Depending on your monthly goals, you should choose the frequency of each category. Of course, you don't have to include all these categories in your workout plans, just the ones that will help you move towards your monthly objective.

Next, think of the best days for each type of exercise, as well as the time of the day.

Then, decide on the duration of your workout sessions.

This template also allows you to add links for workout videos you'd like to try, but also links for playlists. There's no doubt that music can help us stay motivated — so be sure to add your favorite tunes to this column.

Finally, remember that rest days are just as important as the days you exercise. Therefore, note down the days you'll spend resting.

⬇️ GET Weekly workout schedule template (Google Docs)

Monthly budget schedule template

The Monthly budget schedule template is designed to help you keep an eye on your expenses . In addition, this template includes a Savings column — to remind you to save some money for rainy days.

To make the most of our Monthly budget template, make sure you add the Starting budget.

Then, write down all the expenses you have during a month, such as rent, utilities, and other similar costs.

To ensure you'll pay all these expenses on time, there's the Due date column, too.

The template automatically calculates the total sum of your monthly costs, which can be pretty convenient.

Furthermore, to ensure that you'll put aside some part of your monthly income into your savings account, we included the Savings column. Thus, you can note down the amount you'd like to save from each paycheck.

⬇️ GET Monthly budget schedule template (Google Sheets)

Meal planning schedule template

Meal planning can be such a bummer, especially on days when you have too much work to do. Instead of figuring out what you'll have for each meal of the day, try organizing your meals for an entire week. Then, simply follow this routine throughout the week.

To make your life easier, we created two meal planning schedule templates:

Weekly meal planning schedule template

Daily meal planning schedule template.

The Weekly meal planning schedule template allows you to create a healthy meal plan for an entire week. You can write down your ideas for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks.

As you can see, the Weekly meal planning schedule template covers seven days and four meals for each day. We suggest filling this template out on weekends, so that you'll have enough time for shopping.

If you're usually swamped with work during a workweek, you can make a couple of meals on weekends and store them in a freezer.

Another practical option this template offers is the Ingredients to buy list, where you can note down everything you need for meal prep.

⬇️ GET Weekly meal planning schedule template (Google Sheets)

⬇️ GET Weekly meal planning schedule template (Google Docs)

Our Daily meal planning schedule template is more detailed than the weekly one. The Daily meal planning schedule template covers categories such as Preparation time, Ingredients, and Recipes.

This template helps you have a clearer understanding of how long each meal preparation will take. Therefore, you can easily adjust your meal preps with your work and other daily activities.

Moreover, with this template, you'll be able to write down all the ingredients of your meals, as well as add recipes.

⬇️ GET Daily meal planning schedule template (Google Sheets)

⬇️ GET Daily meal planning schedule template (Google Docs)

Travel schedule template

Do you enjoy traveling?

If so, our Travel schedule template will help you keep all the valuable information about your trip in one place.

This template covers categories such as Places to see, Tickets to buy, and Don't forget to pack.

Thus, you can write down all the attractions and spots you'd like to visit during your stay.

If you need to buy tickets for museums, galleries, monuments, or simply public transportation for that destination, be sure to add all the details to this template.

And, if you can make an online purchase, just add the link next to your list.

Finally, this template reminds you to pack the most crucial things, like money, passport, and medications. So, make sure you go through this list before your trip.

Of course, you don't have to plan everything ahead, leave some days open for any activity that comes your way. After all, this is how you make the best memories.

Schedule projects and teams with Clockify

Aside from our Schedule templates, you can also use Clockify to schedule your projects and employees . This feature especially comes in handy for managers because they need to effectively schedule employee work time to ensure that all team members meet their deadlines.

The scheduling option in Clockify allows you to plan both projects and teams.

Here's how you can use Project scheduling with this Clockify option:

• Add a new project by clicking on the button on the left corner. Clockify will automatically load that project and show you all the tasks under that project name. You can add a milestone by clicking anywhere on the timeline. You can easily edit your milestones, drag-and-drop them, or change their names.
• You can add more team members to the project and create new assignments. To make sure nobody's swamped with work, Clockify will show users who are over their capacity.

In addition, you can zoom in and out to take a better look at assignments. Moreover, you can have an overview of the total hours assigned for each project.

When it comes to team schedules, Clockify also helps you see who's overbooked and who's available.

With Team scheduling, you can:

• Add new members. Clockify will then automatically load all the assignments of these users.
• Edit user's capacity by clicking on the three dots next to the user's name. This will give you a clue whether users are at their maximum capacity (Full), or they have several hours available for new tasks (Xh open), or if users are over their capacity for the day (Xh over).

This way, managers are able to assign new tasks to the right people and ensure that everyone has an equal amount of work during the week.

Daily planner template

Keeping your day organized is more than just writing down a list of daily to-dos. Organizing and prioritizing tasks lets you track your most important work. Learn how to create a daily planner template in Asana.

INTEGRATED FEATURES

Planning out your day doesn’t just mean jotting down your upcoming to-dos. A truly organized daily schedule should include your daily tasks, plus task priority, status, due date, and more. 

Not sure how to get organized? Enter digital daily planners. 

What is a daily planner?

A daily planner is exactly what it sounds like: a way to keep track of all the tasks you have to do—big or small—each day. Day planners let you see your daily tasks at a high level, making it easy to plan out and prioritize your schedule and keep tasks from falling through the cracks. With daily planners, you always know what’s on your plate for the day, from team meetings to quick to-dos to high-effort tasks. One point for organization.

What is a daily planner template?

Benefits of using a digital daily planner template.

You’ve probably used a physical daily planner before—after all, who can resist the feel of a crisp blank page or the look of a professionally bound calendar? But let’s be honest, while physical planners might be aesthetically pleasing, they’re not always functional. Physical planners have major limitations, like lack of space. They also aren’t customizable and don’t allow you to attach context to your tasks, two essential pieces to staying organized. 

That’s where digital daily planner templates come in. Since virtual templates are customizable, you can organize them to match how you work best. Want a minimalist view of your overall daily calendar? Easy. Do you prefer to break out your tasks into an hourly schedule? No problem.

When you create a digital daily planner template in a project management tool (instead of using a printable daily planner template), you can:

Keep track of all your tasks in one place

Track the priority of each task 

Easily arrange (and re-arrange) your to-do list by task priority 

Connect your daily tasks to larger goals

Increase productivity and reduce procrastination

Streamline time management

Collaborate with team members

Keep track of your completed tasks 

Track your progress 

Watch as new tasks are added in real-time 

How to create your digital daily planner template

First things first: before you sit down for your daily planning session, make sure your template allows you to customize your schedule in a way that works for you. Look for the ability to tag your tasks with task status, effort, priority, or category—all things that will make it easier for you to plan out your day once you start adding to your task list.

What to include in your daily planner template

Okay, we’ve covered the basics. Now that you know what a daily planner template is and why you should use one, let’s take a look at what you should include in your template. 

How you structure your template is up to you and how you work best. To build a basic template, start by adding your to-dos for the day, like meetings, follow-ups, and action items. Then, take your work schedule to the next level by tagging your tasks with the information you need to keep organized. Task tags you can use include: 

How to arrange your daily planner template

Once you’ve added and tagged your daily tasks, take your scheduling one step further by sorting your tasks with custom fields. Maybe you’re the type of person who likes to knock out small tasks in the morning and save high-effort to-dos for midday. Or maybe you prefer to view tasks by importance, so you can make sure you’re prioritizing important work . Arranging your daily agenda according to your working style helps keep you focused and productive. After all, shouldn’t your tech work the way you do? 

Here are a few ways you can arrange your daily planner template: 

Task type or category

Task priority

Tips for using your virtual daily planner template

Printable daily planners, worksheets, and sticky note to-do lists are a thing of the past. Digital daily planners allow you to customize your workflow and access your schedule from anywhere. And, unlike with physical planners, there’s no risk of misplacing a virtual one. 

Here are a few tips and tricks for organizing your work using your digital daily planner:

Be clear and specific 

Make your tasks actionable and deadline-driven

Dynamically sort your work

Use a list template view to see your upcoming tasks at a high-level

Set recurring tasks to automate your workflow  

Color-code tasks and tag tasks for clarity 

Integrate your favorite apps for streamlined work 

Organize your tasks into sections 

Visualize your daily schedule in a grid, such as a Kanban Board

Keep everything in one place by attaching docs or images to your tasks 

Add team members for visibility 

Integrated features

Custom fields . Custom fields are the best way to tag, sort, and filter work. Create unique custom fields for any information you need to track—from priority and status to email or phone number. Use custom fields to sort and schedule your to-dos so you know what to work on first. Plus, share custom fields across tasks and projects to ensure consistency across your organization.

Start dates . Sometimes you don’t just need to track when a to-do is due—you also need to know when you should start working on it. Start times and dates give your team members a clear sense of how long each task should take to complete. Use start dates to set, track, and manage work to align your team's objectives and prevent dependencies from falling through the cracks.

My Tasks . My Tasks is a personalized view that shows you every task that’s assigned to you, regardless of which project or team it lives in. By visualizing all of your to-dos in one place, you can sort and prioritize work and ensure nothing falls through the cracks. With My Tasks, you can toggle between list, board, and calendar views to work the way you want.

Automation . Automate manual work so your team spends less time on the busy work and more time on the tasks you hired them for. Rules in Asana function on a basis of triggers and actions—essentially “when X happens, do Y.” Use Rules to automatically assign work, adjust due dates, set custom fields, notify stakeholders, and more. From ad hoc automations to entire workflows, Rules gives your team time back for skilled and strategic work.

Google Workplace . Attach files directly to tasks in Asana with the Google Workplace file chooser, which is built into the Asana task pane. Easily attach any My Drive file with just a few clicks.

Gmail . With the Asana for Gmail integration, you can create Asana tasks directly from your Gmail inbox. Any tasks you create from Gmail will automatically include the context from your email, so you never miss a beat. Need to refer to an Asana task while composing an email? Instead of opening Asana, use the Asana for Gmail add-on to simply search for that task directly from your Gmail inbox.

Zoom . Asana and Zoom are partnering up to help teams have more purposeful and focused meetings. The Zoom + Asana integration makes it easy to prepare for meetings, hold actionable conversations, and access information once the call is over. Meetings begin in Asana, where shared meeting agendas provide visibility and context about what will be discussed. During the meeting, team members can quickly create tasks within Zoom, so details and action items don’t get lost. And once the meeting is over, the Zoom + Asana integration pulls meeting transcripts and recordings into Asana, so all collaborators and stakeholders can review the meeting as needed.

Clockwise . With the Clockwise + Asana integration, you can add Asana tasks as time blocks in your Google Calendar. The Clockwise + Asana integration allows you to specify the duration of tasks, when they happen, and whether Clockwise can automatically reschedule them. Add tasks to your calendar and make time to get work done.

It’s easy to love the feeling of a brand new personal planner or bullet journal (not to mention the rush that comes with crossing out a task). But physical daily planners have their downsides, like limited space and the inability to customize your workflow or add context to your tasks. Digital daily planners do all that and more, giving you the ability to structure your daily to-dos in a way that maxes out your productivity and sets you up for success every day. Bonus—you’ll still feel that satisfying rush when you click complete on a to-do.

How do you use a daily planner template?

Start with the basics: add your daily tasks to the template. You can be as granular or high-level as you’d like here—whatever works best for you. If it needs to get done today, you should probably add it to your daily tasks. Next, get specific with your due dates. Have a noon meeting? Want to get that report out by 2pm? Add it to your tasks. Once you have the basics filled in, start customizing your to-do list. Consider adding task tags, so you can keep track of how important each to-do is and where it is in the project cycle. Don’t forget to attach any relevant documents or images for further context. Finally, dynamically sort your tasks in a way that works best for you—and get down to business.

What is the purpose of a digital daily planner template?

At their most basic, daily planners help you stay organized every day of the week. Since digital daily agendas allow you to tag and sort your tasks, they give you an at-a-glance overview of what you need to do each day and help you stay on top of your most important work. Unlike physical day planners, digital daily planners are flexible, meaning you can quickly adjust task due dates and update statuses when your priorities change (like they tend to do).

Can I use my daily planner template for tracking personal goals?

Of course! In addition to tracking your work schedule, you can also use your daily planner for keeping track of personal goals and milestones, like upcoming birthdays or events. Some people even use daily planners as a habit tracker for their meal plans, water intake, or exercise. Simply add a notes section or a personal section in your template and get to tracking.

How do I choose a daily planner template?

Opt for a digital daily planner template that lives in a project management tool instead of a printable daily planner. Choose a template with the flexibility to tag and sort tasks by important information, such as task priority, effort, and status. And don’t forget to look for integrated apps and features that simplify your workflow and make time management easier.

What’s the difference between a daily schedule template and a weekly schedule template?

A daily schedule template is an in-depth look at the to-dos you have on your plate each day. In contrast, a weekly schedule template (also known as a weekly planner or a schedule planner) tracks your to-dos for the entire week, giving you an overview of the week ahead. When you use digital templates within a project management tool , you can toggle between your daily planner template and your weekly planner template, keeping your daily priorities top of mind and giving you visibility for what’s to come.

Improve Productivity with this Free Daily Schedule Template

By Shannon Mulligan

Keeping employees engaged, organized, and productive on a daily basis can be a major challenge for small businesses. And it’s not necessarily the employee’s fault. Some 48% of employees questioned in a recent Wrike survey report that they’re productive less than 75% of their working day. While it might be tempting to blame the employees for a lack of productivity, the issue often stems from a lack of organization and direction from the business and managers. 

Employees need—and want—to be given direction and structure in their daily work. This means giving them a north star and a goal to work towards, even if their tasks are fairly similar day-after-day. One way to do this is by providing daily schedules that highlight and assign priority and recurring tasks to employees.

This article will walk you through the concept of a daily schedule, and offer actionable advice and guidelines for how to create your own. 

What is a daily schedule template? 

A daily schedule template is a pre-built document that can be used to schedule daily tasks for your employees during their designated shifts . It outlines everything that needs to be accomplished during a work day and assigns those tasks to each on-duty employee, making it easier to plan tasks and manage time efficiently.  

Daily work schedule templates include information like: 

• Open and close times for the business
• Employees working on that day
• Shift start and end times for each employee
• Tasks to be completed at specific times during the day
• Important events during the day
• Hand offs and shift changes 

The goal of a daily shift schedule is to highlight all important to-dos and milestones in the work day, and ensure essential tasks are assigned to the appropriate workers. This helps employees stay organized and focused on the most important tasks during their respective shifts. 

There are two ways to organize daily schedules. First is to create a single, master daily schedule that applies to all workers during a given day. Second is to create individual daily schedules for each employee that contains tasks that are specific to that worker. Ideally, both options should roll up into a single master schedule that ticks off all required to-dos for a given week or month. 

Daily work schedule templates can be created in a simple Word or Excel document, or they can be created through digital scheduling platforms that employees can access and review at any time. 

What are the benefits of daily schedules for hourly workers? 

Organization, predictability, and better time management are the three main benefits of daily schedules for hourly workers. They ensure all workers know what is expected of them during a shift, and that they have a clear understanding of what a complete day of work looks like. 

Depending on the specific job, this level of organization and predictability is essential to remaining productive. According to Quickbooks , about 62% of U.S. workers and 96% of Canadian workers who track their time categorize it by job, task, project, client, or miles traveled. This indicates a significant amount of variability in what is expected of workers on a daily and weekly basis. Scheduling this helps to ensure that all workers know what is expected of them, and when. 

Benefits of daily schedules for hourly workers 

• Allowing them to keep track of tasks, stay on top of to-dos and deadlines, and avoid missing important meetings, clients, calls, scheduled deliveries, and so on. 
• Providing visibility into individual and team to-dos, giving all workers a window into what’s happening across the business on a daily basis. 
• Helping teams organize, prioritize, and delegate tasks to ensure optimal performance. 
• Making it clearer what can realistically be accomplished during a shift or single day or work.
• Preventing procrastination or missed tasks due to a lack of clarity or organization. 

As a result of the above, employees are empowered to be more productive and accountable during their respective work shifts, helping them become more focused and impactful. This, of course, benefits the business as well by ensuring that all workers are achieving what’s required to move the business forward. 

Ensuring all employees have visibility into a master daily schedule is important. Add in the individual schedules for their co-workers and compound these benefits even further. By doing so, employees can coordinate and resource share to ensure tasks are completed on time. They can help to find redundancies in the work schedule , overlapped efforts, and collectively ensure that no essential tasks are missed. 

How to effectively use daily schedules for your team 

Whatever daily schedule template you use should effectively communicate and track daily tasks that your team needs to complete. That means that it both needs to be structured in a way that’s clear and easy-to-ready, but also thorough enough that it includes all relevant information. 

More specifically, daily schedule templates: 

• Shouldn’t be too complex
• Should be easy for everyone to follow
• Should be centralized and viewable at all times
• Should be open to feedback and collaboration
• Should include all relevant tasks that each person needs to complete

Achieving the above is easier said than done, which is why a template is so important. This gives you a consistent and reliable framework for organizing and assigning tasks that all workers intuitively understand. 

Templates cover the presentation piece, but not the time management side of the equation. This requires effective time management and workforce scheduling skills that can take some time to perfect. 

Effective workforce scheduling requires the following: 

Identifying and defining available time

The opening and closing times for the business comprise the daily time block that you have to work with. This is segmented into specific shifts for each worker, who has their own individual time blocks to complete their assigned tasks. 

Scheduling essential actions

Record all must-do tasks during the day. This includes all recurring tasks, and one-offs that need to be covered during the day (like a product delivery). Estimate how long each of these tasks will take. 

Assigning time blocks

Take those tasks and completion times, and assign them to specific employees to cover during their shifts. Ensure time-sensitive tasks—or those with a specific time stamp—are covered by the appropriate shift worker.  

Scheduling contingency time

Ensure that there are blocks of time during the shift that are available for standard customer support, emergencies, or a surge in customers. Try not to overload employees with to-dos, since they also need to maintain great customer service. You can also schedule discretionary or “free” time that employees can use to complete work they’ve either fallen behind on, or that helps to move the business forward. 

Analyzing performance and seeking feedback

Scheduling is an ever-evolving and fluid operation. It helps to keep communication open with your team to identify opportunities for improvement. Adapt the schedule as problems rise. 

Armed with these tips, you can begin to create a daily schedule that you can test in the wild with your team. 

Steps to creating a daily schedule 

Now that we’ve talked about best practices and key considerations for creating a daily schedule, let’s walk through the steps sequentially. 

• Select a daily schedule template that works best for your team
• List all to-do items for a given day
• Prioritize those to-dos and categorize them between recurring and project-based 
• Note deadlines, time sensitivities, and dependencies for each task
• Order those tasks by completion time, priority level, and deadline
• Create a time block that includes your opening and closing time
• Overlay your staff’s working hours onto that time block 
• Assign tasks based on priority level, complexity, staff availability, and time sensitivity
• Ensure employees aren’t overloaded with tasks on top of their usual duties 
• Roll that daily schedule up into a weekly schedule to get a higher level view of what needs to be completed in a given week
• Share that schedule with your team by printing it and posting it in a team area, uploading it to (or building it in) a scheduling platform like Homebase , or saving your template file to a centralized and accessible online folder 

The above steps outline how to create a daily schedule that’s prioritized by time. It spreads tasks evenly over the course of the day, ensuring that all staff have specific to-dos to complete.

Priority vs. deadline task management

Two other options that you can consider include: 

• By priority. If your business has a list of priority tasks that need to be completed, you can arrange a daily schedule based on the highest to lowest priority actions. Staff working earlier can start on high-priority tasks, while lower priority tasks can be left later in the day. Employees can then be scheduled based on that priority and depending on their skill sets. 
• By deadline. Similar to the above, you can also create a daily schedule around specific deadlines. If some tasks must be completed by a certain time, employers can create a primary task list that employees can work against. If an employee is on a shift that coincides with a specific, time-sensitive task, they’re in charge of completing it. 

Every business is a little different, which means every daily schedule strategy will vary. It’s important to experiment with different daily schedule templates and frameworks to ensure that you are optimizing your workforce as effectively as possible. Templates are a great place to start, but they often require refinement as you discover what works, and what doesn’t. 

Sample daily schedule template 

Daily schedules can be created using a variety of tools, including Word, Excel, Google Sheets or Docs, PDF templates, or an employee scheduling software like Homebase. 

Regardless of the tool, daily schedules should include the following information. We’ve filled out some time blocks and shifts to illustrate how each column and row comes together.

This is an example of a free daily schedule template that chunks out the day into time blocks. Then, you can assign tasks based on who’s working. An alternative approach is to start with a list of priority tasks, then assign from highest to lowest based on who’s working early versus later in the day. 

This template can be built out of the platform of your choice. Or, use a scheduling platform like Homebase to build structured and easy-to-follow daily schedules for your team. 

Use Homebase to create your daily schedules 

With Homebase, managers and business owners can build and update their daily schedules from anywhere for any number of employees. Because the schedules are available through an online application, employees can access and view their daily schedules at all times.

• Recurring and one-off tasks to be completed on that day
• Task assignments for each employee
• Completion times, dependencies, and requirements for each of those tasks

What Is a Work Log?

A work log is a detailed record of tasks, activities, and time spent during a specific period that provides valuable insights into work patterns. Use a work log to help track productivity, manage time effectively, and identify areas of improvement.

By systematically documenting task descriptions, dates, times, and durations, you creates a comprehensive overview of how work time is distributed on the work log. This can help you identify productivity trends and pinpoint inefficiencies, and it can serve as a reference for future project planning or audits.

What Are the Types of Work Logs?

Work logs vary based on their use. For example, a daily work log tracks tasks and time spent each day, while a project log records activities associated with specific projects. Other types can include time logs or task logs.

Here are some common types of work logs:

• Time Logs: Time logs track the amount of time spent on specific tasks or activities. They help you understand how time is allocated and how it can be used for productivity analysis, resource allocation, and billing purposes.
• Daily Activity Logs: Daily activity logs provide a record of tasks, activities, and accomplishments for each day. They help in tracking progress, identifying patterns, and maintaining a record of work activities.
• Task Logs: Task logs focus on individual tasks or assignments. Use task logs to record details such as task descriptions, start and end times, status updates, and any relevant notes or comments. Task logs help teams and individuals manage and track tasks within a project.
• Project Logs: Project logs track activities, milestones, and progress related to a specific project. They capture information about project updates, deliverables, risks, issues, and any significant events or changes. Project logs serve as a historical record and aid in project management and reporting.

You can edit most work log templates to fit your needs. Any task or project that requires time or task tracking will benefit from the use of a work log.

Elements of Work Log

A typical work log usually contains elements such as task date, description, start and end times, duration, and additional notes or comments. Depending on the context, it might also include fields for project name, resources used, or any encountered issues.

These are some common elements of a work log:

• Date and Time: All work logs should include a date and time for each entry. This allows you to keep the sequence of tasks or activities organized.
• Task Description: Clearly describe the task or activity you are working on. Be specific enough that it is clear what you have accomplished or what needs to be done.
• Duration: Note the amount of time you spent on each task or activity. This can be in hours, minutes, or even seconds, depending on the level of detail you want to capture.
• Project or Category: If you are working on multiple projects or tasks, it can be helpful to assign each entry to a specific project or category. This allows for easy filtering and analysis of your work log later on.
• Notes or Comments: Use this section to include additional information or comments relevant to the task. It could be progress updates, issues faced, or other observations that might be useful for future reference.
• Milestones or Goals: If you have specific milestones or goals for a project or task, you can include them in your work log. This helps you track your progress in relation to your overarching goals.
• Follow-Up or Next Steps: At the end of each entry, consider adding a section for follow-up or next steps. This reminds you of any pending actions or tasks related to the logged activity.
• Signature or Initials: Include your signature or initials to indicate that you performed the task or activity.

How to Create a Work Log

To create a work log, define the elements you need to track, such as the task, start and end times, and duration. Arrange them in a document such as a spreadsheet, and fill it out as you complete your tasks.

Follow these simple steps to create a work log in Excel that will help you track your progress and record your work activities.

To keep yourself and your team on task (and, dare we say, the executive team off your back) you need to be able to offer a daily progress report quickly and efficiently. 🙌

Daily reports keep your company updated on what has been completed in the past 24 hours. Using a daily report template ensures you don’t spend your entire day typing up updates from scratch.

Below we dive into what a daily report template is, why it’s valuable, and the 10 best daily templates available now—one of them is sure to be what you need at your company.

What Is a Daily Report Template?  

A daily report template is a tool that offers daily status updates at 24-hour intervals. It delivers a high-level overview of work completed yesterday, work that needs to be prioritized today, and work that is forecast to be important for tomorrow.

Want to create a daily report template for your team but don’t know where to start? We’ve done the in-depth research for you, collecting 10 gotta-have-’em templates for your daily status report. Simply find the one that best suits your interests, customize it for your team, and start tracking progress. 👀

Want to keep the ball rolling day to day? ClickUp’s Daily Report Template is easily filled out and easily absorbed by colleagues across department lines.

With ClickUp’s Daily Report Template, you can easily keep team members informed on today’s accomplished tasks, tomorrow’s priorities, and tasks on the horizon.

Facing roadblocks in a project?

Use the “Blockers” section to list project obstacles and your course of action for getting the project back on track.

The project status report allows space for custom branding (simply add your own logo with one click), and must-have details including who filled out the report, the project name, the department, and the project deadline. At the bottom of the report template, you’ll find white space for additional details and a line for supervisor sign-off.

Struggling to keep meetings on task?

To spend less time in the conference room and more time doing the work, take advantage of ClickUp’s Daily Briefing Template . This easy-to-use template ensures all the team’s progress is moving forward and so everyone is on the same page.

Whether it’s specific tasks, an update on the overall project progress, or a specific sales report, this report template provides a clear overview of daily goals. It also encourages better collaboration across department lines.

Start by assigning each task to a colleague or team, and consider adding stakeholders as watchers to add feedback and track progress. Instruct team members to fill out their daily progress, any roadblocks they encounter, and their current priorities under the “Daily Update” section to keep tabs on completed and upcoming milestones. 

Finally, use the report’s built-in time tracker and calendar features to set deadlines and track how much internal time is dedicated to each task. Once a daily task is completed, colleagues can mark the task as done or assign additional subtasks for the next day’s priorities—all to streamline the entire process and address outstanding tasks.

Tracking individual progress and performance is an integral part of any manager’s job. To assign tasks, track accomplishments, and assess employee productivity, leverage ClickUp’s Employee Daily Activity Report Template .

An employee daily activity report documents employee productivity throughout the workday. This template allows your colleagues to document which tasks were performed, how long each task took, whether the task was completed successfully, and if they are facing any roadblocks. 

The template offers a win-win scenario for managers and subordinates alike, as supervisors receive a 360-degree overview of each team member’s progress, while individuals can analyze their own productivity and working habits.

This daily progress report template is essential for keeping projects on track. By monitoring individual performance and adherence to deadlines, project managers can pinpoint any problem areas before the entire project gets derailed. Additionally, by identifying individual gaps in productivity, you increase your chances of keeping virtually any project on schedule.

Listen, we get it—at the end of the day, you just want to clock out. But what if you could use those last few minutes each day to prepare for the next, thereby saving yourself countless hours each week?

The ClickUp End of Day Report Template helps you accomplish more with less time, simply by setting daily priorities 24 hours in advance. Use the custom fields feature to build up to 12 different attributes, including comments, a summary of completed tasks, department completing the project, or other must-know information. 

Then build custom statuses to mark each milestone as complete, in progress, or waiting for approval by a superior. Lastly, use the custom views to track various productivity metrics for your team.

This template helps boost productivity on a daily basis, manage remote teams and subcontractors, and identify areas of improvement. Plus, executives can leverage the report to track overall company performance, sales, inventory, and other financial data.

Whether you’re producing a full-length documentary or an advertisement, every minute matters. The ClickUp Daily Production Report Template keeps your entire crew on task round-the-clock throughout production (lunch breaks included).

Start by logging production details, including your director, director of photography, producers, and camera operator. Then schedule each production day down to the minute, from crew call, shooting call, and every moment in between. 

Leverage the scenes, script, cast, and extras sections to let every person know when they need to be on set, how many retakes need to be completed, which scenes will be performed, and even what weather conditions to expect. Lastly, this template includes a time card for every person (yes, every person) within your crew.

With this handy production template, you’ll get the credits rolling in no time.

Every business, from B2B to B2C, needs a consistent sales pipeline to be successful. To scale your company, sales needs to be a priority 365 days a year, not just at the end of a quarter or the fiscal year.

With the ClickUp Daily Sales Report Template , you can track your pipeline on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Under the “Sales Overview” section, build a graph of your total sales per product. Below that, dive deeper into recent sales by noting the units sold and the price per unit of every product in your catalog.

Finally, help sales associates sell smarter in your “Product Performance” section. For each product, provide an image, SKU number, and item name, then write several bullet points detailing why customers like this particular product. Focus on your target audience, common customer questions, and upsell opportunities to help your team make the most of each opportunity.

Want to know the key to keeping projects on track? Break down every major milestone into nugget-sized tasks, ensuring your team members stay productive every week, every day, and even every hour.

With the ClickUp Hourly Schedule Template , you create a structured-yet-flexible timeline to clearly set objectives and priorities. With the calendar view, you can account for every hour in your day, leaving time for meetings, edits, brainstorming, and completing tasks. You can color code each task, giving you a high-level overview of how you spend your day (and week).

This weekly report helps track team progress, reduces overhead, and allows colleagues to easily pivot their schedules or shift priorities. It allows team members to track their work hours while aiding supervisors in assigning specific daily tasks to ensure every individual has an appropriate amount of bandwidth.

This free daily report template allows educators to easily fill out each student’s name and current grade at the top of the form.

This report form is available for download via a number of file formats, including Google Docs, Microsoft Word, PDF, and Apple pages.

This report example is available for free download via Excel.

Once the form is turned in, there’s space for each employee and supervisor to sign their names for approval.

Want a super easy way to streamline team productivity? This Microsoft Word Daily Report Template is incredibly easy to use and provides a high-level overview of how your team spends their time.

To fill out the form, simply have each team member type in their name, date, the location where the work was performed, and job number (if applicable). Then, under “Work Details,” each colleague can scribble in a description of the work completed, as well as the start and end time of each task.

• How to Dramatically Reduce Time You Spend Creating Reports Part 4

Writing a Daily Work Log (+ Free Templates)

A work log is a report that summarizes how an employee spent his time on the job.

Through a daily work log, an employee can create a mental picture of what comprises his day and how he uses his time. It is also helpful in understanding how productive an employee is during a particular period of the workday.

For example, if an employee is more energetic and driven in the morning, he may work on his most significant tasks during this period and schedule his less demanding tasks during the afternoon such as responding to emails or returning calls.

When the employee is able to understand how he uses his time at work, he is also able to plan his day to make it more productive.

Daily work logs can also serve as a basis for determining non-core activities that use most of the employee’s time but does not help him reach his performance objectives and targets. If they can see how much time they spend on these activities, they should be able to do something to reduce if not to eliminate them altogether.

Aside from that, maintaining a daily work log is the first step towards developing a systematic way of handling tasks, thus ensuring an orderly work process.

Here are some ways on how to come up with a daily work log and how to use it to help improve the employee’s work:

• A daily work log should be a document which can be accessed easily and readily by the employee should he need to record his activity. The process of recording details should be straightforward.
• Aside from the daily activities, it should also contain information on important decisions made, unusual events such as work stoppage and emergencies, delivery of items, visitors, and other matters that the employee may deem relevant to look back on in the future.
• Keeping a daily work log should not only be for documentation purposes. The employee should also review it periodically to see how much he has accomplished in a given period, what tasks or projects are close to completion, and which ones need more of his attention and time. It can also motivate him to see that things are going just as planned and that he was able to accomplish all tasks. This will help him gauge his time management skills and increase his productivity.
• A plan for the next day may also go in the daily work log. As such, it serves two purposes—as a to-do list that the employee plans to accomplish and a work log after the task is complete.

Using a daily work log is a helpful productivity tool to track an employee’s activities and his accomplishments during the day. It also serves as a documentation of all important things to remember which he may otherwise forget. It also helps ensure that a pending task is seen and that the employee did not miss any assignments.

Employers Adopt Remote Work Policies, Lag in Addressing Risks

By Jamie Rathjen

Increasing numbers of employers have policies about remote work assignments while also lagging behind in addressing the risks that come with them, two consultants said May 7.

Patrick Landers and Abbas Mirza, a partner and senior manager at EY, respectively, spoke about compliance risks associated with remote work while also presenting some results from EY’s 2024 Mobility Reimagined survey , which was released April 19. The pair spoke at PayrollOrg’s 42nd Payroll Congress in Nashville.

Mirza broke down remote assignments into business travel, where an employee travels for company-approved business needs and does not change their tax residency; remote work, where an employee works outside their tax residence or normal workplace for an undefined period; and a hybrid approach where an employee alternately works outside their normal workplace and returns on a set schedule.

Landers said he had an expatriate assignment that turned into a hybrid system, moving to Bangalore, India, in 2017, returning to the US during the Covid-19 pandemic, and then commuting between the US and India for a few weeks at a time.

The Covid-19 pandemic saw a 54% decrease in global business travel spending that is expected to recover to prepandemic levels, Landers said citing the EY survey. He added that employers are having difficulty recruiting employees with the skills they require, citing declining birthrates in the Western world.

Further survey findings on remote work and global mobility were that 87% of knowledge workers think they should be able to work from home at least twice per week, while 82% of employers said they had “developed a policy/approach for hybrid mobility,” Landers said.

The survey found that 98% of employers used some method of tracking employees’ locations, either through employee disclosure, tracking, or software tools, Landers said. Travel data was the most common method, used by 43% of employers, and next most common were employee self-reporting, expense reports, or email or social media monitoring, he said.

Areas of Risk

Basic areas of focus for US remote work compliance include state tax and employment laws, Mirza said, while internationally tax residency, work permits, and tax treaties are also included. Employees working remotely somewhere where they do not have the right to work can lead to civil or criminal penalties for both the employee and employer, he said.

“Any one of these areas can create a potential issue for your organization,” Landers said, referring to immigration, employment taxes, individual income tax, social security, and any other regulations.

The survey found that employers acknowledged risks in the areas of data privacy, cybersecurity, tax compliance, and immigration or legal compliance much more often than they had formal policies in those areas, Landers said.

The percentage of responding employers that acknowledged those risks ranged from 78% to 84%, but the percentage that had policies about each category of risk ranged from 32% to 55%, Landers said.

Landers turned to tax compliance when providing examples of unintended consequences of remote work, such as sourcing of deferred compensation when an employee moves or that employees can cause their employers to become liable for state business or franchise taxes. In response to a question about whether countries tracked employee presence as well, Landers said it depends on the jurisdiction but “there’s definitely visibility to this in a way that there wasn’t a few years ago.”

International jurisdictions that the presenters cited as high-risk regarding employment taxes included Australia, Brazil, Colombia, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. Landers mentioned that Australia in particular has automated much of its entry processes, which he characterized as positive because of less human interaction but also potentially negative because automated algorithms can trigger follow-ups from officials.

In the US, the presenters cited New York and Connecticut as high-risk states for employment taxes, followed by California, Minnesota, and Ohio as “medium-high risk.”
