Polling Paper Planner People

2012.06.24

I’m designing a new paper planner (think DayRunner, DayTimer, Franklin Covey, GTD, etc). Yes, there are still lots of people out there who use them, so if all you wanna do is mock, please move along. If you use a paper planner, or have opinions about them (other than the mocking thing), please read on!

I’m pretty well set on my new layout (2 page spread per day, including notes, agenda, to-do list). This means that each month will always have a blank “front cover” and a blank “back cover.” Historically, I have used a monthly calendar for the front cover, except the new layout removes the need for this. What would you like as the cover page for the start of each month? A simple “Month Year” cover page? Monthly goals? Expense tracking? Special dates? Something else?

Also, the “back cover” of my months tends to be “future planning” for the following two months. Any other ideas?

Thanks for helping me brainstorm!

If you use a paper planner and are not happy with the one you use, we should talk. I have a few subscribers to my monthly planners, and they’re pretty happy! 🙂

Weekly Power of Positive Thinking

Happy Monday, all. I hope you had a great weekend, and that your week gets off to a good start.

A picture is worth… well, not much, really.

I’ve decided that I’m going to try to post a picture a day. However, given that I lead an incredibly boring life, chances are very good that that picture will almost always be of either whatever crafty thing I’m working on that day, or a cat. Consider yourself warned.

 

General, mpod

Silver lining.

On the plus side, finger wound aside: shoyu potatoes! Yum!

Add to the things that are safe for most people to use, but apparently not for meri: vegetable peeler.

I am finding these far too amusing.

I’ve been having fun this morning playing with wordles. I blame Martin Hannigan.

Welcome to my newest digital abode. As you may know, I’ve been doing this sort of thing for a good long while now. This is the fourth home I’ve given my blog since sometime in 1997. Many things have changed throughout the years, but one thing that really hasn’t isn’t my standard disclaimer: You are here because you want to be here. Nobody is forcing you to read this. You are free to leave at any time. I do not promise to entertain. I do not promise to not offend. I don’t even promise to update regularly. But, I will do my best to entertain, and to not offend, and to update regularly. So, whether you’re going to run screaming into the night, or choose to pull up a chair and hang around for the ride, thanks for stopping by.
