I love making lists! It took me years to switch from my pen and paper planners to the digital age, but once I found Google Sheets and Doc’s, I never looked back.
As much as I love messing around and creating my own personalized spreadsheets, who really has time for that? That is where templates come in so handy. There is one small problem. Not every Google Sheet template is ADA accessible. That means that 20% (roughly 60 million) of the population may not be able to use those templates. I went to work adapting popular Google Sheet templates in several categories, both personal and professional, into accessible templates.
