Time Tracker

Help!!
At one time I saw a spreadsheet that you could print out and track time in your game. It had the time and boxes that you could mark as time passes. Does anyone have any idea where I can find something like this. I would make my own, but I need it soon and don't have much time to do it.

Any ideas would be great.

Dragon magazine had an article years ago with several sheets you could photocopy for this use (and of course this was back when the time scale went from years to months to days to hours to TURNS and then rounds). But this sort of thing is EASY to do yourself.

As long as you don't get wierd with your calendar you can use any kind of daily/monthly planner from an office supply store. You want to design it yourself? Take a sheet of blank paper and a ruler and line out 30 boxes in any desired form - you've got a calendar month. Have a calendar that has 7 months of 37 days each? Blank paper, ruler, pen, and photocopy. Or take a sheet of graph paper and use a grid 24 by 30. You've now got boxes to individually mark off 24 hours of each day for 30 days. If you mark out two sections of 10x30 each you can mark off 10 rounds per minute for an hour.

For simple recording of the daily activities of the party and world events I keep falling back on mere notebook paper. Mark the date in the left column and jot down the important bits as they happen: Jan 8th... Birthday party for Elvis at the Inn. Conan commissions a new suit of plate mail armor to be made, will be completed on Feb. 2. In the afternoon Wonko the Sane arrives in town with Mr. Magoo's corpse (from battle on Jan. 5th) and has him raised at the temple. Jan 9th... Elvis disappears again...

Edit: or were you looking to use an actual spreadsheet of some kind?

Great Ideas! What I had seen in the past was a 24 hour tracker, so you keep track of the time of day. It had the time listed and then boxes for marking off as time passsed. I think each box was 15 mins. I think with your ideas I can come up with something. If anyone might know where I can find something like this that would still be great.
