Tech Level: Easy
Looking for a simple way to track all of those slippery cash purchases?
Me too.
I decided to make a simple google form that I could access via my web-enabled phone.
The form is ridiculously simple, just two inputs in the form of questions. So simple it’s one of those, why didn’t I think of this before…
Q1: Create a drop down box with categories (groceries, dining out, entertainment, personal care, clothing, medical, parking, etc.)
Q2: Create a Text input (Enter dollar amount here)
You could add a third text input for notes if you need it.
After saving the form I emailed the link to myself & accessed it via my phone so I could bookmark it.
Result: A timestamped spreadsheet that can be exported to excel/software if I needed too.
IDEAS
Student Project: allowance tracker
Class Project: collaborative data collection tracker, collaborative note capture tool
Personal Project: Note capture tool
Screencast and Link
Option 1: Save a copy of this form to your own google docs and make private. Use the link to your private form to track your cash.
Option 2: Make your own and customize. The screencast gives you an idea of how to do that.
FYI: I now run small (2-4 people) classes and individual online tech sessions
