Weekly planner layouts

Eight shapes of week. The choice is mostly about whether your week is made of appointments, of tasks, or of longer notes, and how much you write per day.

How to choose

The honest way to pick is by writing volume, because that is what the geometry actually decides. A vertical column gives you roughly 38 mm of width, which is six to eight handwritten characters per line. A horizontal row on portrait Letter gives you about 165 mm, which is a whole sentence. Neither is better; they suit different handwriting habits.

If your week is a series of times rather than a list of tasks, the hourly grid is the one that will change how the week feels, because it gives the day a physical size that a list cannot.

If you need six or seven writing lines a day, no single sheet will do it at any size we offer. That needs about 336 mm of vertical run across the week, so it has to be a two-page spread. We would rather say that than imply otherwise.

What every layout has in common

Writing space is allocated before anything else is placed. Labels, notes panels and side rails take what is left, and when there is not enough left they are dropped rather than shrinking the grid. That one rule is why these files do not feel cramped, and it is the opposite of how most planner templates are built.

Every file is available in Letter, A4, A5 and Half Letter where the geometry allows it, at 12.7 mm margins, with rules at 20% grey rather than black so a weekly reprint does not cost a cartridge.
