For 2019, I have a plan to use more than one planner. I know we have our electronic calendars on our phones, but I find it very handy to have a paper copy with me. Call me old fashioned! Here’s how I plan to use them …
Which planner to select? You will need to decide on the following:
- Size, either how big or how small for your needs
- Layout that will work for your notes, consider monthly, weekly, daily, grid paper, no lines
- Functionality such as pockets, pen holder, stickers, removable pages, ring bound
How I use mine! Yes, I have more than one! Yikes!
- Month at a glance for traveling with me in my purse (DateWorks 3.5″ x 6.5″ size)
- Hard cover one for work, I print my Outlook calendar weekly and punch holes (Stampin’ Up 2-ring 7.5″ x 8.5″ binder) — see 2018 video
- Pretty medium sized one for craft room, where I keep track of events and if I have scrapbooked the photos yet; also using for daily journaling (Thirty-One Gifts 7.25″ x 9″ spiral bound)
Here’s how to print using Outlook …
- From your calendar, select print the week
- Choose the “daily style”
- Under print options, go into page setup
- Click “2-pages/day”
- Orientation portrait
- I also select that I want the calendar with meetings and a notes area
- You can print the tasks too, I don’t use that part of Outlook, I just write on the pages and draw a checkbox if I have a task for follow-up
