I used Avery white 5½ x 8½ shipping labels (Avery product #8126), but a full-sheet label would work just as well.

Created for managing action plans.

1. Works either Landscape or Portrait, though Portrait gives more cell room.

2. The Priority numbers across the top are a system I created several years ago after reading Stephen Covey's 7-Habits book that allow me to key everything from notes on the back of a business card to massive files to 7 pre-decided priorities in my life (God, family, etc). In other words, the numbers are pre-decided priorities, not a rating for the projects below. If I have a project under my Number 1 Priority, it takes first importance and gets the majority of my time until completed and I try not to take on more than 3 major projects at any one time. Though that's the way I use the numbers, feel free to use them as a project rating system if you'd like, or delete them completely.

3. The Next Action section is loosely based on David Allen's Getting Things Done contextual task lists and the headings can be tweaked as you see fit.

4. An AM/PM Appointments section is included here; however, for those who find it's more convenient to keep appointments on a timed calendar, simply delete the Appointments section and add the Appointments space to the Next Action section, or vice-versa if you have a lot of appointments and few Next Actions.

5. The Priority Planner LS is Letter size, but can be printed 2 per page to create "Classic" or "Junior" 5.5 x8.5 size. However, printing Letter gives more cell space, so I find it preferable to print it full Letter size, then punch the TOP edge, fold it in half and insert into my Rollabind dayplanner. Folds out for full viewing, or I can leave it folded and just turn the page to see the other half.

Feel free to tweak as you see fit, though if you please also feel free to change the copyright line to say "Copyright DDDD, [your name]. Adapted with permission from the Priority Planner LS, copyright 2007, Laura D. Sanders"

Print out the attached document, and cut along the solid lines. Pass the strip of numbers through the slots in the frame so the numbered days line up under their correct position in the current month. Sunday-started and Monday-started weeks are included, and you can easily tweak the spreadsheet files to customize for size, language, font, and general attractiveness.

I printed out mine on bright card stock for durability, and so it won't get lost on my desk. I also reinforced the two slits in the frame with some tape before cutting through them with a sharp knife.

Install fonts to get full effect as shown in thumbnail.

I use most of these forms in a Family Binder for quick reference along with copies of insurance cards and kids' school, Scouts and sports schedules.

My wife and I are starting a dietary lifestyle change together. I needed a way to keep us both accountable each day of the diet.

Here's the basic concept:

• Go buy some "stars" at the Office Supply store like the ones you got at school.
• Person 1 (Joe) gets Blue Stars.
• Person 2 (Judy) gets Red Stars.
• When either person sticks to their diet/exercise, they put a star on that box for that day.
• Each day, you write in your weight.

Put the chart on your refrigerator. So it's in front of your face every time you open it.

Watch the weight come pouring off.

Ok, maybe not "pouring"...but hopefully it'll motivate you to see a sheet full of stars at the end of the month. Then simply archive it into a folder.

Hope this helps someone!

Note: I've attached an Excel sheet that can be easily changed. I wish I knew more programming to dynamically change all dates based on the beginning date...but I'm not that good. You'll need to change each Monday date and drag the changes over with the little "+" sign on the bottom right of the cell.

I need primarily to see a week at a time, and my appointments, meetings, etc., plus stuff I need to get done that day. In the To Be Done column to the right of Sunday, I list what I need to get done for that week. Most of the time, that means significant steps towards completing a project. But I put personal things there also. The small boxes in the Daily Action lines are for me to check off each task I completed. I don't have any place for notes, because I have other places in my DIYPlanner for things like that. I use a 24 hour clock for appointments. The lines above the days are where I put the date, and next to the "Weekly Organizer" at the top I write in the week, like 20 - 27 December 2009. Feel free to change it to suit you.

Letter sized, 3-ring binder

Don't remember where I got the template for this. Was either on this site, or David Seah's Personal CEO (http://www.davidseah.com).

Modified it to my liking, then I lost the hard drive I put them on. Recently found the printed copies, and did them from scratch in OpenOffice Draw. Once I got started, it was easy.

The first one is for 2010. You can circle the month, and write in the topic in the blank by the year. I manage a team and needed to track follow-ups for communication to my boss. You can put the person you're assigning the task to in the "[WHO]" spot, and when they were assigned the task/item, and what they're waiting for.

I also created a "6 Slot" version where I can track my team's items.

Hope you like it - feel free to use to your liking. (Also, please let me know if I didn't credit the people who should be).
