| Daily Agenda Template | A template for keeping track of appointments, next actions, calls, agendas and follow up items all on one page! The link is to the 2008 pages. Paper size: A4 Thumbnail:  Usage advice: One day per page. Write the date in the box and circle the date. You can then transfer your next actions into the action area. The schedule area is pretty flexible, no hours or minutes so you can just write appointments in wherever. Seperate section for calls, agendas and follow up.

| Daily Dairy, One page, Classic | My days are task and information heavy, with the occasional appointment. On my perpetual quest for the perfect planner, I was browsing the Paper Chase planners and notebooks at Borders when I came across their page per day diaries, a simple lined page with the date at the top that allows you to write whatever and however you want. Two days ago, a forum topic here led me to the Quo Vadis website which had a page per day diary format with a little bit of space for appointments. My first submission to DIYP is my attempt at both of those formats. Paper size: Classic (5.5 x 8.5) Usage advice: These are MS Word 2000 documents, so they should be easy to manipulate. I use a 0.6 inch margin on the hole punch side and a 0.4 inch margin on the free side. The top of the document is a two cell table so the date can be easily changed and it will still align properly. I spent an afternoon trying to learn OOo draw and using the widgets, but I never got the hang of it. I'm still in the experimental stage with these, so I've only printed a week's worth. I suppose if I was going to do a lot of them I would just blank out the dates and handwrite them in later. License: Creative Commons Language: English Applications required: Microsoft Word

| Daily Food and Water Tracker | Hi, This is my first attempt at making a template, so apologies if it's not quite up to standards! This form fits on a 3 x 5 card, and allows you to track your food intake for different calorie levels by x'ing boxes to represent portions of different foods. Standard portions according to the Diabetic Assoc'n guidelines were used to match the different calorie levels; distribution of food types for different calorie levels is as per "Weight No More," a program that I took at a local hospital. I'm attaching three files - the open office source, a "3 x 5" pdf that contains one landscaped image for printing directly to index cards, and a "cardstock" pdf that contains 6 forms. Print two-sided on cardstock and cut them apart; the images line up on top of each other back-to-back. Finished, cut cards are 2.8" x 5.5" - that works okay for me but you may want to trim for 5" width. Thanks to:
Paper size: Index Card (3 x 5) Thumbnail:  Usage advice: Draw a solid vertical line immediately to the right of your desired daily calorie level. The boxes to the left of the line represent your allowed portions of those food groups for the day. "X" in each box as you eat a standard portion of that food; when the boxes are full you are done eating (or else you are cheating!). Also includes 8 boxes for water intake - standard 8 oz cup per box. Disclaimer: I am not a medical doctor or a fitness trainer.

| daily household chore planner/appointment setter | Hi... this is my first attempt at a customizable Franklin Covey two-pages-per-day style template. It's set up as a household chore planner/appointment setter in an Excel 2003 file, but it's too big to upload, so here's a pdf of Monday... It's in a Christian Woman style, but hey, it's pretty simple to change the colors and/or images and delete the quotes. Let me know what you think! If you'd like the whole shebang, I'll email it to you... Paper size: Classic (5.5 x 8.5) Thumbnail:  Usage advice: Each day of the week is a separate, undated tab. Just print landscape style and cut down the center. I couldn't quite figure out how to set it up for back to back printing, any ideas?

| Daily Mood Journaling / Tracking Page | This template is primarily aimed at those suffering from Bipolar disorder or depression. It is meant to keep track of not only your moods, but also the events and variables surrounding them so that you can target things that trigger your moods so that you may balance them. I really, really hope this can help some folks out. If anyone has any suggestions or questions, please, let me know. I'd be happy to help in any way I can. Also, this is my first template, so go easy on the negative comments, please. (Please note, the thumbnail does a terrible job of showing what it looks like!) Paper size: Classic (5.5 x 8.5) Thumbnail:  Usage advice: You could probably come up with several systems to use with the template, but what I had in mind with it, was this: During the day, mark a dot on on the "Mood Tracking" grid, showing where your mood was at during what part of the day. (Hint: There are 24 blocks going across!) Also, keep track of how many hours of sleep you had the night before, what medications you took, what you ate, how long you exercised, and the weather. At the end of the day, write a short blurb under daily blurb, describing how you felt throughout the day, or any event that stuck out in your mind. Also, note what your "overall" mood was during the day. At the end of the week, or month, whichever you prefer, go through your mood logs and try to see if there are any patterns in diet, exercise (or lack-there-of), weather, sleeping habits, etc. that may be contributing to your depressed or manic bouts. See if you can find a common factor in the times you felt "normal" and try to repeat those things. License: Creative Commons Language: English Applications required: Adobe Acrobat or other PDF reader

| Daily Pages Compact with FC/GTD mix | This is my Daily Two Pages per day take on Franklin Covey/GTD Mix. This is compact size because that is the size that works best for me. Small enough to carry and large enough to write in and see. It's about as heavy as I care to go also. Paper size: Other Usage advice: This is May in Microsot Word. I can change the color of the months, the quotes (if I want one) and type in any extra information I want for a day. License: Public Domain Language: NA Applications required: Microsoft Word

| Daily Planner (Colorful)- Modified | I had earlier posted a daily scheduler which was a bit whimsical and suited my taste at that point of time. However, increasingly, I have felt the need to have the same content in a slightly more structured format, and carried out some changes accordingly. Paper size: A4 Thumbnail:  Usage advice: As usual, this daily planner is best combined with a weekly review system, when one or two weekly goals which will be concentrated on are identified. This daily planner will take 10 mins or so to fill up the night before or in the morning before starting the day. My weekly review system is an involved process, so please let me know if anybody feels interested at all to have look at it, will post it then.

| Daily Planning Pages - 2up | A pair of pages for planning and tracking daily life. Left page has areas for work and personal todos, schedule and a list of who owes you what. Right page has a notes area and a small area of graph paper. ODG and PDF submitted. Comments welcome. Paper size: Letter Thumbnail:  Usage advice: I use these pages to track my goings-on for a day or more at a time - depends on how long it takes me to get tasks done, or fill up the notes area. When it gets too messy or too full, just transfer your stuff to the next pair of pages - I kill fewer trees this way. NOTE: This template is laid out is the way you'd use it in your planner. This is meant to be printed on US letter sized paper and cut in half and dropped directly in place. I find this layout much more intuitive than most designs and this way I could see both sides together as I was designing it. Print duplex, flip on the short side and everything will be lined up correctly. ***Updated. I added two new files. This is the way I settled on using it. I punch two holes in the right hand side and put it on top of a pocketed folder with 2.75" fasteners (like this. Inside the folder, I keep a set of weekly planning pages (also attached) and a stanadard yearly planning page for those far future things (didn't make my own for this - I think I use one from the standard DIY package), as well as any stuff I need to carry around. When the pocket folder gets beat up, a quick replace gets me back to work. I've found the pages get a little beat up on the outside of the folder, but not too badly before I replace them.

| Daily Schedule & Record (Classic) | Dated Daily pages (November 2006) containing a schedule (16 hours), action list, voicemail log, food log, record/notes, and personal notes/journal areas. Includes 1-up and 2-up layouts - source ODG files only, no PDF. Paper size: Classic (5.5 x 8.5) Thumbnail:  Usage advice: On the left-hand page: To-dos for the day go in the 'action list'. There's a priority column for determining order/importance, and an EST column for entering how much time you think it will take to perform the task. There's an unlabeled column for recording what you did with it (schedule forward, delegate, done, in progress, etc.). The schedule isn't labeled with AM/PM, so it would probably work OK for someone on the graveyard shift as well as a day-shifter. It's got 15-minute intervals marked to make it easier to enter meetings, etc. I enter my voicemail messages received that day in the "Voicemail Log" section. It's freeform so I can record the message on as many lines as required to fit it in. I don't get many voicemails each day, so it's a small section. The Food Log is for the person trying to control weight--to lose, gain, or otherwise. It's got prompts for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and three snacks, and a small spot to record your weight that day. On the right-hand page: A record/notes section with each line individually numbered for easy indexing (a la Covey). There's a column for the item itself as well as a column for owner or due date. Beneath is a section for Personal Notes/Journal. For myself, I intend to record such wonders as my kids latest developments, how I felt that day, conversations with family & friends, ideas for personal projects/growth, etc. To use it for any other month than November 2006, open the source and change out the dates in the left-hand page titles. For the 1-up file: Then print all the dated left pages. Flip your stock in the printer, then print enough copies of the undated right-hand page to cover the backs of all the dated pages. For the 2-up file: Print half the pages on 8.5x11, then flip and reload in the printer. Print the other half of the pages. Then slice apart and punch. They might even come out in the right order. :) For months with odd days, there's a page at the end of the file that has a double notes/record page so you don't end up with some crazy date on the back of the last page of your month. Note: to be like Covey, you'd put a 'master task list' on the back of the 1st day of the month, and the back of the last 'record' page would be something else. Those kinds of pages can be found in the Core template, I think. License: Public Domain Language: English Applications required: OpenOffice.Org

| Daily Schedule Planner | One of the tools I've used to manage my time is the Daily Planning Worksheet from PowerSystems, but it takes up too much space and has a lot of pieces I really don't use. The part I do use, and am most productive when I use it faithfully, is the schedule for the day. I reference my work calendar and my personal calendar - both online - to see what I need to do that day, as well as my "To Do" list and pencil them into the schedule. This may sound like extra work for some of you, but for me, the act of writing it down truly makes me aware of it in ways I'm not if I just rely on looking at my calendar on the computer screen and mentally planning out my day. I took the schedule concept and added my favorite concept from Leo Baubuta's "Zen to Done" philosophy - the Most Important Tasks. For me, this is where it gets really cool. Since I have been trying to have a paginated work journal (ala Dave Terry's Analog Work Journal) I wanted to integrate this into the pages, rather than having a whole separate page. I was able to fit 4 days on one letter-sized page then printed them on full-page labels and cut the sheet into quarters. Now, it doesn't matter how voluminous (or not) my notes were from yesterday as I just slap the label on the next open space in my work journal. The numbering stays consistent - and if there's a day I don't need one (i.e. I'm at a conference or in training all day) I can spare the space in my journal. I know there are a lot of folks who have worked to integrate their personal and work lives into planners, but I find I need to do just the opposite as I have too much integration as a telecommuter. I hope you enjoy it. I tried to keep true to DIY format, while adding a bit of color for my own enjoyment. t. Paper size: Letter Thumbnail:  Usage advice: I used Avery white 5½ x 8½ shipping labels (Avery product #8126), but a full-sheet label would work just as well.

| Daily Task List | This is a tool that can help you keep track of all your daily objectives. Thumbnail:  Usage advice: This is a daily task list that I created when I couldn't find what I needed in the office supply stores. I looked at many different kinds of DAILY pages and TO DO lists, but couldn't find one that functioned the way I needed it too...so I made my own.

| Dated monthly calendars May 2006 thru Dec 2007 in MS Word format | Dated 2-page monthly calendars for May 2006 through Dec 2007. Monday through Sunday week. At the end of the file there are also two-page yearly columnar calendars for 2006 and 2007. Paper size: Classic (5.5 x 8.5) Usage advice: Two pages per month on a sheet of 8.5 x 11-inch paper. I cut them down the middle and take them to Staples for spiral binding, or you could merge the tables and staple them in the center. Print pages 1-2, 5-6, 9-10, etc and then flip over and print 3-4, 7-8, etc. I haven't put in any holidays in order to have as much space as possible in the daily blocks--of course you could edit this and put in your own.

| Day Diary Template 2008 v1 | Updated version on my original Day Diary Templates. Appointment Page on left hand side It's not perfect but I hope they are of value to someone. PDF Paper size = A4, page design is for Covey Compact Paper size: Other Usage advice: Printing : Print duplex double-sided printing. Punch boarders: Center of the page where the page will be trimmed. Trimming: Cut down center of A4, then trim off Note sections. Cut note sections in half again. These will take a set of three holes punched. (or turn vertical to take 6 holes, but lines will also be vertical) Page Date Order: Cut page down center then flip LHS onto RHS to get the date order. NB: I used the spare paper down the bottom of the page templates to create small note pages. I found that I was writing small info notes for other people and having to tear up a large note page or giving them a whole note page, so the little note pages were made. Cutting Sample document attached. License: Creative Commons Language: English Applications required: Adobe Reader Preview, any PDF Reading application
