I Love YTtalk
As the title suggests: I know there's some business type people out there who are good at this stuff and I'm terrible with this stuff. Currently my formatting looks like this as an example:

Is there any way to format it better to be more effecient? Or does this seem okay. It's just a day to day schedule revolving primarilly around YouTube.

That seems functional to me. As long as you understand it, I don't see any reason to change it.

Yeah it seems alright so far, but I'm noticing I find it a tad bit difficult to read xD I'm also wondering if there's anything I can do to make it more efficient and easier to read. I only just wrote up this schedule about 30mins ago using this formatting and have yet to use it properly so I'd rather get a good 1 going before I get into the habbit of things.
 
Honestly, I've not used a spreadsheet to keep myself organised before, I just use Google Calendar. I've got 3 Calendars atm, General, College and Work. In each of them I can add things with a single line of text and google with add it to my calendar.

For Example.. if I found out I had to work on the 20th of june.. I would go to my work calendar, hit add then type 'full day 9am-5pm on the 20th of June' and google will go ahead and add 'full day 9am-5pm' in the box for 20th of June.. I don't have to go hunting for the days and type loads of stuff into the calendar.. I've then got my information on my phone, mac at home and any computer I log into... I get notifications if I turn them on (I currently get reminded the day before events).

So far.. I haven't forgotten a single things, and it's great for checking that I've been paid for the correct hours at work. I'm not here to sell you Google Calendars, but I would try it.. it's free so it's not like you have anything to lose. They also have a tasks list as well so you don't have to add things to the calendar, you can just add daily tasks you want to have completed by the end of the day.

Yeah I looked into it, I'm not fond of it, I kind of prefer lists and I also already have another spreadsheet set out to work with the scheduled spreadsheet so I can keep track of games I want to work into my schedule and such xD I'm currently using Google drive for both though.

Google drive is a life saver! I use it for all my college work, I actually write reports and such straight into Google Docs instead of on Word, mainly because it saves for you! :D

I had to start using it since Gamespot changed it's site around making it harder to track games, I figured since I cbfed backing up the spread sheet each time I made changes I may as well just make it on Google drive. It's a shame it lacks the power of Excel or the whole MS Office Suite but it's really good for basic stuff. I'd use it for TV shows I'm tracking but that list changes so much and I like to use the cell styles A LOT which Google Drive doesn't seem to have.
