Not sure if there are any other (intern) architects out there... but the 'diary' page will be my idp log - drop me a line if you have suggestions or questions, would be great to hear!

1. Works either Landscape or Portrait, though Portrait gives more cell room.

2. The Priority numbers across the top are a system I created several years ago after reading Stephen Covey's 7-Habits book that allow me to key everything from notes on the back of a business card to massive files to 7 pre-decided priorities in my life (God, family, etc). In other words, the numbers are pre-decided priorities, not a rating for the projects below. If I have a project under my Number 1 Priority, it takes first importance and gets the majority of my time until completed and I try not to take on more than 3 major projects at any one time. Though that's the way I use the numbers, feel free to use them as a project rating system if you'd like, or delete them completely.

3. The Next Action section is loosely based on David Allen's Getting Things Done contextual task lists and the headings can be tweaked as you see fit.

4. An AM/PM Appointments section is included here; however, for those who find it's more convenient to keep appointments on a timed calendar, simply delete the Appointments section and add the Appointments space to the Next Action section, or vice-versa if you have a lot of appointments and few Next Actions.

5. The Priority Planner LS is Letter size, but can be printed 2 per page to create "Classic" or "Junior" 5.5 x8.5 size. However, printing Letter gives more cell space, so I find it preferable to print it full Letter size, then punch the TOP edge, fold it in half and insert into my Rollabind dayplanner. Folds out for full viewing, or I can leave it folded and just turn the page to see the other half.

Feel free to tweak as you see fit, though if you please also feel free to change the copyright line to say "Copyright DDDD, [your name]. Adapted with permission from the Priority Planner LS, copyright 2007, Laura D. Sanders"

I track symptoms twice a day, and rate them in severity from 0 (no problems at all) to 4 (OMG - where's my Vicodin?). Sleep quantity is recorded in hours - both day and night. I often take a nap during the day, so a typical entry might have "1" in the day slot and "6" in the night slot. I rank the non-pain symptoms a bit differently than the pain symptoms - I'm sure you can work out your own ranking system. Medications are simply checked off if they're taken. NSAID (ibuprofen, naproxen, etc), analgesic (tylenol, Vicodin), and sleep aid (Lunesta, diphenhydramine) are filled with the initial and dose of medication taken. For example, if I took 2 Vicodin, I put "V2" in the box; if I took 2 diphenydramine for sleep, I put "D2." There is space for notes at the bottom - anything that won't fit neatly into a checkbox.

The goal of my system is to be able to assess the day's issues in less than 5 minutes, at the end of the evening (sleep qual/quant is ranked for the night before). It is quite helpful to be able to go back and see trends in symptoms and NSAID, analgesic, and sleep aid usage. When I visit the rheumatologist every 3-6 months, I take my notebook. Instead of saying "Uh... OK I guess" when asked how I've been doing, I have actual data.

I am including the Excel spreadsheet as well as a PDF for 2-up double-sided printing on 8.5x11 paper (2 sheets per page). Obviously your symptoms and issues will probably not be the same as mine, so modify as needed. I suspect most guys won't need the line for "feminine" issues. ;)

Print out on card stock and cut. I use one task per card, then recycle.

If the graphic is not your style, just click on it and hit the delete button and it will go bye-bye! The background color can also be changed and well as the margins so you can use it for left or right. Just remember to add the same amount to the other margin that you took away from the opposite margin.

Just like you would do with the DIYplanner 3.0 kit

I recently had to start injecting insulin, so I made this form. Record the glucose in the rows with the little blood drops, and insulin in the rows with the little syringes.

You can also record exercise. I note the time of each test / injection next to the label for the time of day.

Can be easily internationalized to most European languages (e.g. French, German, Spanish, etc.)

Requirements:
- must have LaTeX, Python
- may want: make

Usage:
- 2009 in English is already included as pdf
- set the year and language in the python script
- if you have make then just run make
- otherwise look in the make file

(this is currently quite hackerish but was done in a hurry)

Print Double-sided, either auto or manual, and cut down the middle.

Select what kind of paper you wish to print on, either blank 4x6 paper or index cards of the same size. Use either the ruled or plain template accordingly. Easy to use: when things are done, check the box; when it is important, circle the stars or write your priority number inside the stars
