Correspondence Tracker

I created this vertical 3x5 card to keep track of information about my pen pals. The top section is for the snail mail address, the middle section is for notes about the person, and the bottom section can tell you at a glance when you sent or received the last letter. I leave the back blank for extra notes.

Usage advice: 

There's not much room on a 3x5, so in order to get full-size printing on my printer I have to print these to classic sized paper (two per sheet) and then cut them to size. There's just enough margin on the left side for circa if you want that.

I've included both Open Office and Adobe .pdf versions.

Usage advice: 

Used to plan out a Square Foot Garden plot. Decide what you want to plant, find out if that plant has any likes or dislikes with other plants. check Wikipedia for one list (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_companion_plants), determine the spacing needed and then lay it out in the grid on the bottom. Once everything is placed where you want it take it out and start planting.

Song Tracker

This template is for musicians who are working on new tunes and often play with different bands. It helps track new songs and when they can be checked off as "off the page." I often lose songs because they don't get off the page and into my head and then I forget I worked on them. There is space for notes about the song, room to write the info about the musical group (like lead player's phone number)and ideas that are not quite incorporated into "groupthink." Enjoy! Ideas are welcome!

Usage advice: 

It is Classic size now but I really want it to be adaptable for 3x5 index cards that are printed vertically. Ideas?

Dive Log

I needed new pages for my dive log and rather than buy some overpriced pages printed on paper that is nearly impossible to write on, I decided to make my own. The log has space for a dive profile, some summary information, comments, your cumulative bottom time, and a verification signature.

Usage advice: 

Print, punch and use just like your normal dive log. This template only has a simple single level dive profile on it, I may get around to creating one with a multi-level profile one of these days but since I don't have the equipment to do those calculations it's not super high on my to-do list.
