| May through Dec 2011 Daily Calendar Pages - Letter Size | Daily calendar pages for May through December 2011 with columns for "Priority To Do" and "Want to Do," as well as an "Appointments" column with times (my day starts at 4:45am so the first time row is 4am). There is a small area to write in Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner, and a "Notes for Today" area to put things like "Hubby out of town" or "Jane's Birthday." I just put a link to my site because I was hitting the disk quota when I tried to upload the files. Thumbnail:  Usage advice: I'm sorry for the wonky margins. OpenOffice Draw (and the consequent pdf that I make from it) is pushing the entire page to the right by one-quarter inch, and I cannot figure out why. So I'm just manually adjusting for it. Paper size: Letter and A4 License: Creative Commons Applications required: Either Adobe Reader or OpenOffice Draw. I've uploaded both files.

| Bill Tracker | I have a hard time keeping track of which bills I've paid and which bills are outstanding. My AHS (Any horizontal surface) method of organization can be a bit chaotic at times, and while I've never had anything shut off (That one time with the internet doesn't count, right? It was their fault after all.) there have been times when it's been a bit dicey. Paper size: Letter Usage advice: Gather together your bills and make a page for each. You can put the average amount you pay each month in the notes if you like. That can make it easier to budget. License: Creative Commons Language: English Applications required: PDF

| Basic Book Review Schedule | This is a basic book review template, that I created, to keep track of books that are being reviewed, for whom they are being reviewed for, and when they are due, to help keep track of what is needed for each month. Right now this is a very basic, to the point. It's 8.5 x 5.5 and meant to be something small and easy to use. It can be printed out for all the months, or enough to bind together to have a running record of books reviewed/when. Paper size: Classic (5.5 x 8.5) Thumbnail:  Usage advice: This can be printed double-sided to save paper, or printed individually to place in its respective month for a quick overview of that month. This is to help keep track of books that are being reviewed and if, one finds that they have a lot of books to review for the same month, I would recommend, just simply print both sides. It's meant to just be enough of a quick glance over. License: Creative Commons Language: English Applications required: Pdf readers

| Classic Weekly Calendar | This spreadsheet contains several tabs, the important one being the weekly calendar. It is a two page per week calendar, with room for appointments, daily and weekly tasks, and a small space for notes. I left my tasks in to give an idea of usage. Paper size: Classic (5.5 x 8.5) Usage advice: There is a box on the spreadsheet for the user to type in the date of the first Monday they want a calendar for. The spreadsheet will automatically generate the last half of the previous week as well as several future weeks. After that, it's just a matter of cutting the pages and punching them. It's pretty straight-forward, I've been using it for several months now and have only punched the wrong side of the pages once ;-) Let me know if you have any questions. Enjoy.

| Weight Watchers Points Plus 2012 Daily Tracker | I just joined Weight Watchers Online. I don't have a smart phone so I need a tracker when I'm away from home so that I can enter the info when I get back to a computer. Their daily tracker 3 month notebook is too small for my clumsy fingers, bad eyesight, and large writing, so here is my first attempt at making my own. This is the first of what I hope will eventually be the 4 basic pages of the tracker notebook: the daily tracker, daily tracker pg 2 with water, fruit, etc checkoffs, and the 2 page weekly tracker (which might actually fit on one page). I'll edit those in to this post later, and I might edit this document a little bit too as I use it and discover its faults. Paper size: Classic (5.5 x 8.5) Usage advice: This is a Microsoft Word document, hopefully readable in the 97 - 03 versions. I never really got the hang of Open Office, so I just stick with what I know. Please give me feedback or suggest changes if you have any. Thanks. Just use it however works best for you to track your points. You can even write in the nutrition info and calculate the points later.

| A daily scheduler | I adapted this from Balanced Life for Circa by Julie Morgenstein as I wanted it customised to suit my own needs. I print it on an A4/ Letter size paper in '2 pages per sheet' mode and then slice through it and put it in my Circa planner. Paper size: A4 Usage advice: Please feel free to create your own customisation using this.. The 'Slider for Daily Routine' and 'Slider for 3 Weekly Outcomes' may seem a little confusing. Actually that is where I slide in my circa punched halves of 3x5 notecard where I have written my key elements of a'daily routine' on one half and on the other half, the '3 major weekly goals/outcomes' which i am aiming for that week. They help me stay focussed through the day. License: Creative Commons Language: English Applications required: Microsoft Word
