The sheet is titled Tracker, 6 rows across 7 days. It is a grid of tick boxes: six rows down the page, seven day columns across it, and a box in every cell where the two meet.

What the sheet is

Six rows across seven days is forty two tick boxes. The rest of the drawing is eighteen ruled lines and nine words, on a page of 841.89 by 595.28 points, which is A4 landscape. One sheet. The finished file is 4,354 bytes.

That is the whole description, and it is meant to be the whole description. This is stationery. It prints rows, columns and boxes, and it carries nothing about what should be done, how often, or to what end. There is no target printed on it, no streak counter, no scoring, and nothing that treats a filled row as better than an empty one. A tick is a mark on paper, and the sheet makes no claim about what the mark means.

The rows are blank

The task rows are empty when the sheet is drawn. The site does not name them, because naming them would mean deciding what belongs in somebody’s week, and that decision is not stock a stationer holds. Six blank rows against seven day columns is a shape, and the labels go on by hand after printing.

they can be typed on the page before the file is written, or left blank and filled in by hand afterwards

Day columns

The columns are headed Monday to Sunday, printed in full on this sheet. Where the columns are narrowed, the day names are abbreviated rather than shrunk, because a heading is there to say which column it is. Nobody reads the word Wednesday across the top of a form. They look at where it sits.

The same tracker, more than one page

This is the same tracker geometry that appears elsewhere on the site under different headings, and the site says so rather than dressing it up. A grid of task rows against day columns does not change shape according to the subject written into it, and drawing three slightly different versions so that each page could claim its own article would be decoration standing in for design. What differs between those pages is what the reader writes in the rows.

Black only

The ink is black throughout. A tick box drawn in black is a tick box on any printer. A form that used colour to separate one row from another would come out of a mono printer with the separation gone and the rows looking identical, and the reader would have no way of knowing that anything had been lost.

Written in the browser

The PDF is written by the site, in the browser, at the moment it is asked for. There is no library of files behind the page and no template hosted anywhere. The geometry is the article, and twenty five sheets on the site are made that way.
