20 Best Tips

Save 20% on the Student Planner (& Updated Covers!)

This Student Planner was the PERFECT fit for our our kids during their middle and high school years. It’s full of color (which they loved), very simple in layout, and helped them track all of their studies and goals each week. That made my job so much easier as they took responsibility for tracking their daily work. 

Because it is an undated planner, the front cover needs to be updated every now and then with a new calendar year. For those of you who have purchased the planner in the past, there is a bonus (password protected) download page where you can find updated covers each year. 

If you haven’t purchased a copy and are wanting to help your students get a little more organized this year – read on and see how you can save 20% on a copy of the Student Planner (through 8-31-23)

 

Inside Our Student Planner

Want a peek inside? I promise it’s super simple – because we found we really didn’t need so much extra stuff, full of color, and ready to download and print.

 

 

 

 

 

 

A quick note: We printed our planners using the BORDERLESS option in our printer settings. In the video you’ll see some of the pages that we experiments with (ones that were or weren’t printed all the way to the edge). Our front and back covers were printed onto cardstock and then laminated for extra durability. We use a heavy weight paper (24 lb.) to print the planner and make the pages a little thicker. We then had it spiral bound at Staples for about $5.

2021-2022 Yearly Planner – Organize Your Days

It’s here and ready!! The 2021-2022 version of my Yearly Planner is done and uploaded and ready to help you start planning!! (Don’t miss the sample download below to get a peek inside!)

For the last five years I have been using this Yearly Planner – a planner I put together for our family (and love). It’s a place where I can keep all of our day-to-day happenings in one place and attempt to keep life in a little bit more order. Because it was such a help to me, it was one I have shared with you all as well!

Life gets busy and truthfully my brain just can’t remember it all. I’m a paper and pen kind of girl, and seeing my week laid out in front of me is so helpful in keeping things straight. Appointments in one place. Goals and reminders of ‘to-do’ stuff. I can pull it out, open it up to the week on hand, and get a great picture of what is happening.

The yearly planner is newly updated and ready for both the 2021 and 2022 years and now has some additional features (including bonus pages, a variety of covers, and more to come!). 

My goal is to make this planner as user friendly for you all as possible, so if there are additional pages you would like to see added, please let me know! 

Yearly Planner Highlights

Here are the highlights that will help you get your weeks and months quickly organized: 

  • November 2020 – December 2022 weekly and monthly calendars – 24+ months!!
  • a 2-page weekly spread that lays flat, 8.5″ x 11″
  • one page to track a weekly “to-do” list, keep running lists, write out weekly goals, and write down things you don’t want to forget, including shopping lists
  • a one page layout for weekly appointments and top 3 daily goals
  • a link to unlock planner extras – additional pages to help get you organized, including bonus covers, address pages, note pages, and more to come!

The Week-at-a-Glance Pages

The daily planning pages also include a two page month-at-a-glance spread. These are the pages that I use to write down any major stuff first (trips, big events, etc…) and then do a rough meal plan (before I plug meals into my monthly meal planner).

Just for fun, I added quotes that I love to the month-at-a-glance pages too. It’s something little, but I love reading them!

The pages are all 8.5” x 11” in size, so they fit great in any standard binder. Personally I’m in love with this Martha Stewart binder and dividers – which is why you’ll notice the rainbow colors along the bottom of the calendar. 

  • November 2020 – December 2022 weekly and monthly calendars – 24+ months!!
  • a 2-page weekly spread that lays flat, 8.5″ x 11″
  • one page to track a weekly “to-do” list, keep running lists, write out weekly goals, and write down things you don’t want to forget, including shopping lists
  • a one page layout for weekly appointments and top 3 daily goals
  • a link to unlock planner extras – additional pages to help get you organized, including bonus covers, address pages, note pages, and more to come!

Bonus Pages

address-pagesThis year I’m adding something new to the Yearly Planner – bonus pages! I realize not everyone wants the same (or huge) file, so at the end of each planner you will find a link to a webpage where you can download extra pages to print off and use with your planner. Currently you will find:

  • address/contact page
  • books to read
  • notes pages
  • birthday/anniversary tracker
  • project tracker

More pages will be coming – and if there is one you would like to see added, please let me know!

How I’m Using My Yearly Planner

Here’s a peek at my planner so you can see how I’m using it.

My weekly to do list is just the running list of overall things that need to get done (I keep a longer list on a sheet of notebook paper in another section – until I finish up a cute printable for that!). My goals are broken down from my yearly overall goals. During January I’m trying to finish up a few books (need to get some of that book list knocked out).

There is always a list of things to do (I also have a list of projects that can be finished in 20 minutes or less). Every day I try to focus on THREE main things that need to be done and then work on other things. Those three are the ones that really need to be worked on at that point.

Daily Planning Pages printable - free download for February. Also link to the FULL 2015 Daily Planner - get organized this year.

If you’d rather use a 3-ring binder for your planner, grab some cute tabbed dividers  for sectioning out different things that you want to keep handy: a cleaning schedule, meal planning, recipes, finances, and other important information.

My new favorite option is having the planner spiral bound! I’ve been taking mine to Staples and they coil bound it for me for $4.99. I am loving the different format and will continue to use this option since it slides into my computer bag easily.

April 2019 Personal Planner – FREE Printable

April is essentially me trying to keep my head above water, people. Not going to lie about it. 

Our entire family is traveling to Florida for Zachary’s big ol’ swim meet, we will be celebrating Laurianna’s 18th birthday (ALL THE TEARS), and then having family from the Netherlands visiting with us for two weeks (which includes a trip to Philadelphia to see where the 76ers play).

It’s really a good thing we homeschool and have some flexibility, isn’t it? 

A huge help for us this past month was McKenna getting her driver’s license – yay!! Now I have another person we can throw into the mix and help with some of the back and forth shuttling that needs to happen. 

Needless to say, my calendar and to-do lists are part of my sanity at the moment!

If you’d like to lay out your upcoming month along with me, I have a free download of my April 2019 Personal Planner Pages – try them out this month and see how they work for you.  If you like them, grab the complete 2019/2020 Yearly Planner and get a jump on planning the next few months. 

A Peek Inside My Planner

Don’t Miss The Daily To-Do List

Daily to do list free printable

 
My Daily To-Do List is pretty basic, but hopefully it will work for you too. There is an area to make a list of things to accomplish, household goals, appointment, meals for the day, and even a space to record exercise and water intake. Each page in the document is identical so you can print them off, cut the page in half, and have two lists. If you print them front to back, you’ll have four to-do lists and save a little paper.

Hope you all have a wonderful month!! I’d love to hear your plans!

 

 

March Personal Planner – Free Printable

I’ll be honest and tell you that our schedule has gone plumb ol’ crazy town the last month or two. Remembering whether I am coming or going somewhere is a bit debatable at times. 

I’m also trying not to think too far ahead, because then I will realize that in just three short months – Laurianna is graduating and may be headed overseas. How in the world did we get here so quickly? 

Swim meets. Board meetings. A new church plant. Life in general. It just doesn’t stop. 

Most days I’m feeling like we are treading water – and goal one is to make sure everyone can eat (and that I have food ready). But schedules keep changing, so I’m trying to learn to be fluid and roll with it. McKenna will be getting her license soon, so we will have some extra help in shuttling if needed, but WHEW! Needless to say, my calendar and to-do lists are part of my sanity at the moment!

September 2018 Planning Pages – FREE Printable

We’re two weeks into our school year and finally I’m feeling like I can breathe a little bit. Not everything was done and in “ready” mode when we started, but we eased in and kept moving. 

There are projects and updates that need to be both completed and started around the house. After eight years of living in a house with four kids, the wear is starting to show. 

Trim needs to be touched up and repainted. Walls have dings that need to be patched and then be repainted. Our laundry room is getting an overhaul and finally some cabinets. No huge projects, but little things that require some time and patience. 

For some reason I felt painting the schoolroom in the midst of trying to reorganize everything was a good idea. During that process, I managed to pull off some of the drywall thanks to some adhesive wall maps we had – so we had to add a little time to the overall project. 

I’m hoping to go with a pale blue color and lighten up the overall area. I have loved the green color but am ready for a little change. 

Meanwhile, swim practices start up the day after Labor Day and McKenna’s musical is now practicing twice a week since she has a lead. The calendar is quickly filling up and we still want to squeeze in some camping time before it gets too cold. 

If you’d like to lay out your upcoming month along with me, I have a free download of my September 2018 Personal Planner Pages – try them out this month and see how they work for you.  If you like them, grab the 2019/2020 Yearly Planner and get a jump on planning the next few months.

New Student Planner Covers for 2018-2019

One of the things I love about our student planner is that the kids have a chance to OWN it by adding in their information, including filling out the dates for each month. A few years ago I started selling a PDF version of the planner I created for my girls and each year update the covers (your purchase allows access to a ‘buyers only’ page where optional pages are added, including additional dated covers and other pages as readers/users request).

Each of the *new* covers has a calendar for the years 2018-2019 (the 2018 and 2018-19 covers) or 2019-2020 (the 2019 covers). 

Want a peek inside? I promise it’s super simple, full of color, and ready to download and print. This is one of ours from a few years ago.

A quick note: I figured out that our printer will print BORDERLESS. It was one of the paper choices in settings. In the video you’ll see some of the pages that we experiments with (ones that were or weren’t printed all the way to the edge). Our front and back covers were printed onto cardstock and then laminated for extra durability. We use a heavy weight paper (24 lb.) to print the planner and make the pages a little thicker.
