Just in Time, and a Planner Printable

Hello everyone!  We're only five days into December and already it's been a busy and productive month in our little home.  The holiday decorations are up, the tree has been trimmed, and I'll share some pictures later on this week, or early next week.  And I've been busy as a bee working on printable for my 2013 Personal Planner.  When I planned on doing the three months of printables, I had some very good reasons for doing the Personal Planner in December.  1.  There are not as many printables for this one as there was for the holiday planner, and as there will be for the Home Management Binder (coming in January) 2. It's a busy month, and I'm still not sure how often I'll be able to post as the month goes on, and I'm not sure how much time I'll get to sit and create printables, and 3.  I wanted to get the printables for the planner done in time for the new year, and make sure I made them available to all you lovely people too.

Little did I know when I planned this, that I would be in desperate need of this first printable.  If you've taken a stroll through the archives here, or scrolled through the printables page, you may have noticed that I have three (yes THREE) weekly planner pages already.  (see here and here)  The Family one has been working great.  Love it!  I love it so much I wanted something similar for my planner, sort of like an overview of what my week was looking like.  Something I could use on its own or in combination with a daily planner or a more structured weekly planner.  Something that would let me keep track of where I needed to go, what I needed to do, who I need to see, call or email ... and this is what I came up with.

Not much to explain on this one is there?  It's just a simple combination of a planner and lists.  On the left I can schedule stuff in for each day, on the right there's a spot for errands (Places to Go), a place for calls, emails or visits to make (People to See) room for a to do list, (Things to Do) and then a spot for anything that I need to remember either for the current week or the next (Special Reminders).  And boy, let me tell you, this week, I REALLY need the extra reminders.

As you can see, I've already started to fill it up.  Mostly with house stuff, but that's my focus for this week.  Spend a little more time on household tasks so that throughout the rest of the month I can relax a little.  Best part of all is down at the bottom there, my Mom and Dad are coming to visit this weekend!  I can't wait to see them!  

And now, I'm off to go get started tackling some of that to do list.  To grab a copy of the printable for yourself, click the caption under the printable's photo.  You can either print, or click file and download to save a copy to your computer.  As always, the printables shared here on Scattered Squirrel are for personal use only.  Don't forget that I'm taking requests for the monthly "Reader Request" feature.  If there's a printable you want but can't find, let me know and I'll see what I can do for you!

So what do you think of the first planner printable?  Do you think it will be useful?  Are you super busy in December too?

I love it! I may print a bunch and bind for my own planner to start 2013. Hope that's okay! Might cut down on my floating lists around the house:)

Hi Heather, glad you like it. Of course you can print a ton and bind them. I left a little extra room on the left side for the hole punch, should work for other binding too. Let me know if you want to print double sided, I can put up another one with extra room on the right side for that.
I'm hoping this helps with my lists too. It's nice to have it all in one place. Thanks for stopping by!

OMG this is perfect! I just sat down at my computer today and felt totally overwhelmed with everything that's going on! I need somewhere to keep it organized that includes the blog, my job, and stuff around the house. Thanks for sharing at The Fun In Functional!

Love this - it just seems like there are not enough lines for each day. I have gotten out of the habit of using printables. I need to get back into it, but it just seems like nothing fits what I need perfectly. Thanks for sharing this - it's given me inspiration to make my own!! Thanks for linking up at Romance on a dime last Tuesday!!

Hi Jessi, I'm so glad you like the printable! I have that feeling too, especially this time of year, there is so much going on, I feel like I can't keep track of it all. Thanks for hosting the party!

Hi Betsy, thanks so much. Yes, I agree, there are not enough lines on each day, especially for busy days. I've got something up my sleeve to fix that. I completely understand not being able to find a printable that fits what you're looking for, I used to spend hours searching for just the right one. If you want to, let me know what you're looking for and I'll see what I can come up with for you.
Thanks for hosting a wonderful party!
