Smackdown: Google Spreadsheets

Google Spreadsheets is a website from Google Suite that helps organization and record keeping. Spreadsheets are used for a range of purposes from timesheets to event planning to do list. The website allows for the user to create an organized place where they can keep data, dates, notes, assignments and extra. For me I use spreadsheets to keep track of my assignments (long term and short term) by keeping tables for the different classes and the important dates and/or notes. I also used them to keep track of event planning and the events itself by doing things like keeping the attendance. 

In my future career in mental health, specifically as a therapist, I can use sheets by continuing to keep track of records. For example, if I do private practice and want to focus on only 5 to 10 patients then I can keep mini sheets for them all in one big sheet. I can also keep the main sheet as the organizer between dates and appointments. This will be extremely helpful since I can keep the files for different patients all in one place as well as specific notes (for example a change in plans) I want to keep track. Google Spreadsheets allow me to do a range of things and connect many different websites like google forms and google docs as well as google calendar all in one place. This will help limit the number of errors possible in order to ensure every one of my patients get full help and support.
