Planner Breakdown
The Main Planner – Life Plannr will include: Reverse Foldable Pages – For both Left and Right Handed ( I am ambidextrous – I like to be able to write on any side) Ability to change the layout whenever I would like to. All Pages can be folded in or out – aligned laterally!
Front Page: Blank Page with Logo, Preview of how the Planner will look. Copyright & Website Information.
Front Page Inner Page: Life Planner – Personal Details. Currently I am leaving it blank. I prefer to add my own details without too many headings – I don’t like clutter!
Idea Planner – An area for Notes, Inspiration, Ideas. Journaling, Drawing. With Checkbox’s – A lot of space for writing / drawing.
Day Planner – As of Now I’ve only sketched Day on 2 Pages (Sunday Edition – I work with Sunday’s first for prep work) – This has room to Write / Journal / Draw – Includes Backburner Notes – Things to do at a later date – Reminders! I will design a Day on 1 Page after testing Day on 2 Pages. This will need a whole new template. But it’s no biggie. Day Planner will be used in conjunction with Week Planner + Month Planner + Year Planner.
Week Planner – The idea with Week Planner is to have a quick glance of all I need to do in the Week. With Weekdays along the edge – I might include Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner in the same section. I’m still trying to figure out where to place them without it looking too cluttered. Week Planner will be used in conjunction with Day Planner + Month Planner + Year Planner.
Month Planner – The idea with Month Planner is to have a quick view of all of my current month tasks in bullet form. Align the weeks to the days in the current month. This is ideal for fast tracking of holiday’s, places I need to be. Month Planner will be used in conjunction with Day Planner + Week Planner + Year Planner. I need to think of a way to make adding all the days easier!!
Year Planner – The idea with Year Planner is to have a quick reference to anniversaries, Birthdays, Appointments and Bills that are due. I can keep it open while viewing month, week and day.
Planner Addons – Future Addon’s – Anything I think of which I will need for my Planner
So far I’ve managed to Sketch most of the draft layouts, they still need to be finalised before moving to digitalising. I am an Illustrator – I like to plan things ahead of time with sketches – have it all finalised with exact measurements.
I am making a list of priorities, repetitive tasks. I’ve managed to figure out a way to systematise everything, so it’s easier for me down the road. Template, Template, Template! I can see my main issue would be template mark up. I’ll need to make the Grid Layouts first, Measure up my A5 Planner Sections – Template it all. Make sure it’s all a perfect snug fit.
