What is a Timeline?

A timeline is a diagram that represents a schedule for a procedure/process. Timelines are used for a variety of things such as an event project, a story biography, project management, education, and many other things.

How to Create a Timeline?

Creating a timeline is a pretty easy task. Whether you are making a timeline for a family activity or for a work day, you must keep these steps in mind while making them.

1.) Determine the Outline

Before creating your timeline, make an outline of it first. List out the details that you will include on your timeline and make the first draft of it so that you can have a reference/idea to work with when creating the whole thing. You must also determine the concept of your timeline whether it is used to represent the timeline of a family or the timeline of a work project.

2.) Choose Layout

Pick a layout for your timeline. Whether it’s a diagram or a chart, just make sure the layout is appropriate to the kind of timeline you wish to make. For example, if you are making a student timeline, a table layout is probably much more appropriate.

3.) Add Specific Dates

The meat of your timeline’s content. Add the dates involved in your timeline and be sure to make them specific. Add the day, month, and year. Be sure to specify the era if you are creating a historical-based timeline. If you are making a work-based timeline, try to add the name of the day as well to make the dates specified.

4.) Add Descriptions

Place descriptions on your timeline so that readers know what is going to happen (or what has happened) on that date. Suppose you are making a budget timeline, then write how much money was spent on that day by adding a simple number to it. You can be short or very specific depending on how much space is provided on your timeline layout.

5.) Organize Them Chronologically

When you are done listing out all the dates and plans, organize all of your content in chronological order. Make sure everything is set within the correct schedule to avoid any confusion.
