Welcome back! It's good to see you again. Please note that I am now publishing all new material at my hub site: In Context Blog
…and the most popular search term for this blog is “print your own calendar pages“. There have been thousands of hits on this since I posted it at the end of May. This response has just been tremendous. Thank you to everyone who has read it and downloaded the sample calendar pages.
I have received a good deal of constructive criticism and helpful suggestions from quite a few others in the GTD community:
- Kate at Blogging to Discovery has written a complete review!
- Organize IT has given me some tips.
- And fellow bloggers such as Michael Ramm at Black Belt Productivity,
- Mark W. Shead at Productivity 501,
- Ryan Rasmussen (via DIYPlanner),
- Agent Sully at Life Learning Today,
- Ellesse at Goal Setting College,
- and Andrew Flusche at Legal Andrew have all pitched in on a mini survey of how they use their own planners, what works and what needs improvement.
This is week 7 of the big calendar project, and it is time to start wrapping things up and getting the final version of the calendar put together. For those of you readers who have taken the time to download and try the sample pages I say thank you! and I have one little request:

Hi Stephen, in response:
1. What kind of calendar/organizer do you use? Franklin Covey 2 page per day; Monarch size. I also use a Palm Treo 650 for the hard landscape items and contacts.
2. Do you use a separate capture notebook? Only for meetings- regular legal pad.
3. What is the greatest strength of your current system? It’s sort of a hybrid system and that works well for me.
4. What is the greatest weakness of your current system? It takes discipline and as I am human, I sometimes lack discipline!
5. Do you use a checklist for your Weekly Review? No, I just intuitively go through the past week and look forward to the upcoming one.
