Thanks Pierre. I do follow InfoQube and it’s been a while since the last time I tried it. Looks like some interesting new capabilities have been added.

Here you go: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bw4rgHcZnnS-Z1FHQnRzY1VVVzQ

I kept it simple and I have one column per month (as I needed an annual overview), and I indicate the weeks by week no. (1, 2, 3 ,4 or 5 - yup, some months have 5 weeks :).

I have deleted the project names, as they were confidential, but these are mainly academic projects (writing papers, teaching, marking etc.), so you get the idea, and can see the colour coding.

Thank you Dr Andus! That’s very helpful.

I’m currently toying with each column being one week, and projects as rows. In each cell I insert (Insert key) the tasks for that project for that week. I can easily add as many as I want in each cell. To focus, I fold (F10) the cells I don’t want to see. It’s easy to select entire rows or columns and fold / unfold them all. Or shrink the text, I played with that too but so far I’m prefering folding.

In this example, project 4 and week 4 are folded.

That’s an interesting approach, I’ll give that a try. Thanks for sharing.
