We're on to week 2! How did everyone do last week? If you're just joining us, welcome! The more the merrier. ;)
There's lots of information here, including a new super-easy way to track your points, so I'm going to break it all down into spoilers to make it easier to find what you need.
the Google spreadsheet:
Template (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ApZNN8YJREkndDRzbnJLM0xfX2xUcnkwNVlxcmlIa 0E#gid=0) for tracking points
* Save your own copy of the file, and make sure it's visible to me. You can make it viewable to anyone with the link, or share it directly with me. My email is my username at gmail. I don't need to be able to edit it, just see it.
* PM me with the link to your spreadsheet.
* Simply enter your points on the weekly tabs. All totals will automatically update for you. If you want to mark which tasks your choosing for the Weekly Chores Challenge or the Weekly Challenge Bonus, I recommend changing the background color on the cells for those tasks.
* Please do not do anything that will change what cells anything is in! This will throw off the formulas and your totals will not be accurate.
* I also have a sheet to gather everyone's weekly totals (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ApZNN8YJREkndGFZLV9VdnQ4cnplRkQ5aHd1QXBqN 2c#gid=0) in one place. I will add you into it as I get the link to your sheet. Again, this will pull your totals off your sheet automatically. You can view it at any time to see how you're doing in comparison to everyone else.
The master list - if you don't want to use the google spreadsheet. If you are tracking your points within the thread, it'd be super nice if you can spoil it - the list is really long to scroll through, especially with all the challenges listed. I will also need you to send me your total at the end of the week. :ty
