Wavy weeks
Submitted by richandjess on Tue, 2010-02-23 02:56.Month- or year-at-a-glance with days of the week following a sinusoidal curve. March-December 2010 on 12" square scrapbook-sized paper.
Created these pages to track baby milestones for a scrapbook but thought others might be interested in the "wavy weeks" (inspired by W. Bradford Paley's 2007 planner: http://wbpaley.com/brad/index.htm).
You can generate your own "wavy weeks" string using the linked Google spreadsheet (just change the dates in the first worksheet). Or make your own spreadsheet with dates in the first column and fill the second column with this formula: =CONCATENATE(REPT(" ",(3-ABS(WEEKDAY(A1)-4))*2),(DAY(A1)))
Happy Halloween, Remembering Your Family
Submitted by jordanjm on Thu, 2009-10-29 19:53.Happy Halloween everyone. Welcome to the dark time of the year, when spirits roam, and pumpkins light our way. A time where we remember our ancestors in Day of the Dead celebrations and Remembrance meals. At this special time of the year, Jordan McGilvray tells us a tale of Jack and offers us a treat. So sit back, eat a slice of pumpkin pie, and enjoy this holiday.
Jack limped along the dirt track, grumbling to himself about the cost of every needful thing. He muttered about how cold his house was, that the peat was to hard to dig, and wood was to expensive. He grumbled about the children who stared in awe and fear as they looked at him. They made his life miserable when he went to the village, teasing him, mocking him, and calling him names. Jack stopped and thought for a minute. He did not really care for one other person in the whole planet. Sometimes this worried Jack. The town priest, who read scriptures, always said that you should love your neighbors, implying that everyone was a neighbor. "Bah," thought Jack, "I know I care nothing for anyone or anything, but that does not make me bad."
Poor Girl's Grocery List
Submitted by maddiehope on Fri, 2009-10-09 14:52.If you're like me and on an extremely tight shoestring budget, buying groceries can be a challenge. I find that the best way to keep within your grocery budget is to estimate how much you're going to spend, and then keep up with how much you're actually spending while you're at the store.
This grocery list is designed with that method of shopping in mind.
This is 2-up.
I made this in Word using the tables menu. If you want to alter it a little bit, download the Word file. I used up pretty much the entire margin limits, so it may be a little wonky on the spacing and page breaks.
I've also attached a PDF version.
I hopefully left enough space for adding those little extras you will inevitably pick up.
Month calendar
Submitted by austerlitz on Wed, 2009-10-07 04:01.A simple month calendar template inspired by filofax 'month on two pages'. Can be customized for any paper size while prepared for A5 format.
Automatically places weekdays in their place, highlights weekends, may be prepared for any month in one step.
To get a template for a certain month, just enter any date of a needed month in B1 cell in 'a5' and 'small' sheets or in U1 on 'a5_2up' sheet. ('Small' sheet is just for the month to be copypasted into any other odg/ods template)
The template will produce big requested month calendar with previous and next months in small boxes, with weekends and current date highlited.
Highlights are easily customized via styles (cal_* set of styles). Language can be set via locale setting and cell format.
Comments and suggestions are welcome. Enjoy your month!
Tracking items on loan
Submitted by davidcantwell on Mon, 2009-06-01 03:32.This template is to help you keep track of things like DVDs or books that you might lend to friends so you can remember who has what.
This is a pretty standard classic 2-up template. I use the loaned/returned boxes to track dates and the item check box to indicate the item is back. The 'who' and 'num' boxes should be who has the item and of course the 'item' box should be what you have on loan!

Weekly Undated Calendar in Word with Checklist
Submitted by duodecimal on Sun, 2009-02-15 00:23.This is in Monday - Sunday format. It's very striped-down & customizable and the spacing is small. I just added my own personalized checklist to the right side of each day. There's a blank box after Sunday with lines for notes.
I created this in Word after admiring a Lefty template by Alison Kleinschmidt. It's not as pretty as hers, but I wanted a personalized checklist on the right side of each day so I could track sleep, meds, lunch, working out, and connecting & preparing. I just found out that I'm bipolar, so I'm hoping this will help me track a few daily tasks & keep me focused.
After becoming frustrated with trying to learn a new program just to make a template, I decided to go with what I know. Word. I hope you enjoy it!
Shopping List
Submitted by zippytex on Mon, 2009-02-09 05:19.There are two Open Office files included. One is formatted for one per page and the other for two per page.
It is just a simple template, I hope you can use it. :)
If you can print classic size paper you can use the 1-up to print front and back. I usually just print one per page and place a classic size sheet in the upper left hand corner and trace around it and cut and punch.
Homeschool Reading Log
Submitted by Tau on Sun, 2009-02-01 01:15.We like to keep a record of the books read for personal enjoyment during "Reading" time. With extra large spacing, even the youngest writer should be able to copy the book title into the form. Stars for a rating of the book read may be colored in, if desired.
Book title on the left then date followed by a star rating. The date may either be a range for longer books or the date read for shorter ones. Your preference, of course.
