Daily Dashboard in Moleskine Large Cahier size for free.

Remember the Daily Dashboard? Well, following a request it is now available in Large Cahier size.

The booklet begins with a full-month view:

This is followed by a two page spread for each day.

I'm making available for free download PDF sets in this layout for 2015 for both A4 and Letter paper users. Each file contains an insert for a full month. Here are the files:

  October 2015 - A4 version

  November 2015 - A4 version

  December 2015 - A4 version

  October 2015 - Letter version

  November 2015 - Letter version

  December 2015 - Letter version

What you'll download is a file that is ready to print straight away, without any need to use booklet format on your printer. Just print this straight to A4 or Letter paper, with duplex set to flip on the short edge (I'd recommend you print just one or two pages first to make sure your printer deals with this correctly and make adjustments as necessary.)

Once you've printed out the pages, you can bind them into a booklet and cut to size using these instructions:

Remember to cut at 130mm (13cm) wide rather than 110mm (11cm) wide as you would for a regular Midori insert.

I'll work on a set of files for 2016 soon.

Guest interview

My 'experienced user' interview is published over at Philofaxy today, in which I share my thoughts on using a planner over the long term.

Any thoughts or comments would be welcome, either here or at Philofaxy. 

Free 2016 planner inserts for the Traveler's Notebook - Field Notes size

I recently posted 2016 versions of my popular weekly planner layout for the full size Traveler's Notebook and for the Moleskine Large Cahier size. Today, I'm adding the Field Notes versions.

Each booklet covers half a year, so for the full year, you'll need both the H1 and H2 files.

The files are ready to print. Simply download and print on regular printer paper, double-sided with the duplex set to flip on the short edge (if you get this setting wrong, half your pages will be upside down, so practice with just a few pages first.) It you have single-side printing only, print the odd pages first, then refeed the printed pages upside down and print the even pages on the back (again, practice on a few sheets first to make sure you get this right for your printer.)

You can download the A4 version if your country has sensible paper sizes or the Letter version if it doesn't. Using either version, making the booklet will require you to cut down the printed booklet in height as well as width.

Here are the files:

  2016 A4 version: H1  H2     

  2016 Letter version: H1  H2

You can get more guidance on booklet making in this video. Remember that for this size you are cutting to 90mm wide rather than 110mm and you are cutting top and bottom to leave a booklet 140mm tall:
