Set column widths to 160 px for Task, 110 px for Owner, 90 px for Due, 110 px for Status, 60 px for %, and auto-resize for Notes. On mobile, activate View >Freeze >1 row so headings remain while scrolling.
Virgin sweep lasts 38 min on 100 Mbps; later runs take 6–7 min because the delta list is saved. Automate it nightly, forbid «Photos» and «Offline» folders if you save RAW files there, and the cap won’t bulge until you sync another camera roll.

Name rule: "(1)" .pdf grabs 92 % of duplicates within 15 s scan. Time clause: .zip and .psd use cloud timestamp, not your machine timezone, so timezone-safe. Suffix clause: .dmg is whitelisted only inside the assigned folder, protecting disk images elsewhere.
Create a second tab dubbed "Vars". Log daily groceries, fuel, coffee here; a simple =SUMIF(Vars!A:A,"Groceries",Vars!B:B) yanks the total back to your main sheet. Set a hard cap of 12 % of net income for this category; when the cell hits the limit, the formula locks further entries with data validation.
Adjacent the table, toss in a single-cell chart: mark the "Done" column, Insert → Chart → Scorecard. Point data range to C2:C11, aggregate to COUNTA, and switch "Show percentage". The scorecard updates every time you hit a box, giving an instant visual hit rate without leaving the page.
Craft a Responsive Table with Status Drop-Downs
Insert a 6-column table via Insert >Table. Label headings: Task, Owner, Due, Status, %, Notes. Highlight the Status column, go to Data >Data validation >List of items, enter: Todo,Running,Paused,Complete,Shelved. Tick Show warning off to lock input.
Kill the gridlines (View → Show ruler off) and shrink page margins to 0.4" top/bottom; the canvas feels like Notion, but keeps shareable with one link. Slot your email at the bottom row, fire up notification rule (Tools → Notification rules → "On form submit"), and any stakeholder who types a comment scores an automatic ping—free of charge.
Fire up a clean file, re-label it "Q3_Sprint", and immediately drop in a 3-column, 10-row table. Column A houses the deliverable, B the target date, C the tick-box. Highlight column C, navigate Insert → Checkbox, and you score 10 clickable squares in 8 seconds—nada macros required.
For color cues, apply conditional formatting: Format >Conditional formatting >Custom formula =C:C="Done" → green fill; =C:C="Blocked" → #e06666; =C:C="Active" → #f1c232. Restrict range to C2:C100 to keep speed 0.2 s on 500-row sheets.
Profit today: 24 h after delivery, fire a plain-text ping offering a $19 "expanded analysis" add-on. Average take-rate lands on 9–12 % when the pitch mentions the exact number the calculator showed them. Reinforce urgency by letting the sheet URL vanish after 72 h; expired visitors hit a $97 annual-membership wait-list page that already scores 5.8 % conversion for the skincare brand.
Share the sheet as a CSV feed for seamless Trello import
Grab the share URL that closes with /export?format=csv&gid=0 and add &range=A-F to limit columns. Paste the full URL into Trello’s "Upload CSV" dialog; the board will self-map Topic → Card, Schedule → Due, Owner → Member, Status → List.
Last night at 21:43 I tapped Start inside the add-on, shut the lid, and went to bed. At 06:12 the script finished: 9.8 GB freed, 1 417 redundant selfies deleted, 82 orphaned WhatsApp videos purged, 43 blurry burst stacks erased. Chromebook charge dropped 7 %. Zero manual sorting, no fee, no approval steps.
Clone it: grab the file, pre-load ten everyday inputs, and gate the "printable recap" behind a two-step confirmation. Keep entry friction under 8 seconds; every extra field shrink sign-ups by 11–14 %. Pair the sheet with a two-step pop-up—micro-commitment first (drop-down question), email field second. On mobile, this setup lifted conversions from 19 % to 34 % across five niche stores.
Duplicate the Zero-Based Budget Template in 30 Seconds
Open the shared file, click File → Make a copy, rename it "2024-ZBB-[Your Name]", check "Share with same people" only if you need team edits, hit OK. Paste <a href="https://realtors.7venoaks.com/author/ismaelrangel3/">generate direct link google drive</a> into cell A1 to fetch live exchange rates for every currency you spend in.
Record take-home pay in row 3: salary in B3, side-gig in C3, refunds in D3. Underneath, punch fixed outflows—rent, insurance, subscriptions—each in its own row. Use =SUM(B6:B15) for totals; conditional formatting turns negative numbers red at –$0.01 so overruns scream at you before the 1st of the next month.
The trick works solely if you tick three boxes: «≤32 px thumbnails», «0-byte fragments», «APK left-overs older than 90 days». Skip any of them and the return deflates to 2–3 GB. The add-on maintains a 14-day trash safety net; if things go wrong, restore from inside the sidebar–no email required.
Verify the 10 GB Drop: Check the Post-Cleanup Storage Receipt
Open the quota page at drive.google.com/settings/storage and screenshot the bar prior to you delete anything. After the sweep, revisit the same URL; the bar redraws within half a minute . A 10-gig drop shows as a 10 240 MB decrease on the left-side counter. If the delta is smaller , open the "Storage used" breakdown: items deleted in the last 24 h are listed with a red dash ; their sizes must total ≥ 10 000 MB . Still short? Check the Garbage folder—deleted files remain billable until you hit " Empty trash ". Empty it, then re-open the quota page again; the counter should now drop the full ten gigabytes .
