| Authorization for Disbursement envelope | This template is printed on letter paper (8.5" x 11"), cut and folded into an envelope that fits into a Classic binder (5.5" x 8.5"). The envelope has a form on the front for users to list expenses for reimbursement, disbursement requests, and check payee and address information. There is also a place for 2 authorization signatures on the front form. The envelope includes instructions for use on the back as well as a large place for notes. Paper size: Classic (5.5 x 8.5) Thumbnail:  Usage advice: This form is the template of an envelope with forms printed on it. Print to 8.5" x 11" paper (landscape), cut, fold, punch, and store in Clasic size binder (5.5 x 8.5). I use this form in an organization where I am the treasurer. Members complete it to submit receipts for reimbursement. Members also use it to request a check for something that has a quote or purchase proposal. As an envelope and form in one, it is really handy for someone like an organization's treasurer or finance committee. It keeps signatures and receipts/quotes all together in one neat place and package. The template here is simply titled "Authorization for Disbursement". In my customized version, I put the organization's name above the title and the organization's logo to the left of the title. That kind of customization gives the form a more official feel when the form is eventually used for official financial documentation.

Paper size: Index Card (3 x 5) Thumbnail:  Usage advice: Jot down appointments and synch them to your planner at the end of the day. I do not carry my daybook/planner with me during the day.

| Business Expense/Mileage Logs | These forms are designed to work together. I used these forms (though not in DIYPlanner format) for a number of years, and can attest that they work. In fact, my accountant loved this format. :-) I have to confess, however, that the basic format is not unique to me. In fact, this form is loosely based on a Dome book. However, I constantly worried about losing my Dome book. So, one year, when I couldn't find the Dome book in the store, I made my own forms that fit inside my DayTimer, and created a spreadsheet that would work with my own forms. I have now modified my forms yet again to take advantage of the Widget kit, and make them more general, and less specific to my needs, including adding extra categories, and leaving some blank lines for those who need even more categories. I've enclosed instructions in the zip file.

| A4 Hipster PDA - Disposable - 4 Up GTD | This template is a 4-up A4 context based to do list and addresses a few of the problems I commonly encounter. I like the HPDA format but frequently find problems with printing to 3x5 cards, or find that I'm at a client without any blank 3x5s to hand. This template uses standard A4 paper that, when quartered, is almost HPDA size. I can print these easily anywhere. I also find that a 3x5 is usually too big for the six or seven items that I commonly have on my to do list. I've therefore split each quarter into two seperate lists giving a total of eight possible contexts per A4 page. The template has two pages. The first has blank contexts for use in any situation. The second has my commonly used contexts. The original OO template is included to make changing the contexts easier for your own use. Paper size: A4 Usage advice: Simply print and fold into quarters. You have an easily created, cheap, disposable HPDA in (almost) the usual size. License: Creative Commons Language: English Applications required: Adobe Acrobat or OpenOffice

| A7 - Contintental size HipsterPDA cards | Wide range of forms for all occasions - ideas copied from Doug's HipsterPDA edition but in very different style. Outside of USA there are problems with index cards but plethora of Ax formats (also found index format slightly too big for me). Paper size: Other Thumbnail:  Usage advice: Cards themselves are in A7 (portrait) and A6 (landscape) format. You can print them up to 8 (or 4) on one A4 sheet using extensive Acrobat Reader printing options. I've also made available pack of pages a7-up8.zip . In this file each form is positioned 8 (4) times on one A4 sheet (one form per file). Due to size (3MB) I've decided to spare DIY bandwidth and uploaded it here: I usually print one page of choice when needed, a7.pdf version is mostly for design. Whole set was created with Scribus.

| Check Register | I have been lurking around this site for a couple of months and finally decided that I would like to make an attempt to contribute to the cause. I don't have a lot of creativity, so I thought I would attempt to create something simple but useful. I noticed there was check register template for the hipster, but not in classic size. I actually created this template in Microsoft Word, then imported into PDF. Please let me know if you find this template useful. Aaron Paper size: Classic (5.5 x 8.5) Usage advice: The form is meant to be double-sided.

| Cornell index card with task doodads | I really like the cornell notetaking system, but I prefer to use it on index cards, with a column for tags and a little section at the bottom for followup tasks. So I made a template. Yay! Give it a go and let me know what you all think. Paper size: Index Card (3 x 5) Thumbnail:  Usage advice: Fill in the title at the top (I use the format lecture [card no.], with most lectures spanning multiple cards). Note any followup tasks that occur to you during the lecture at the bottom (I guess you could use a separate tasks card for this, but I like to keep them together so I process the tasks at the review stage). Later (say, that evening or a few days after the lecture), take your notes and read them through, tagging the card appropriately.

| Fat Quarter GTD page | A letter-size page containing four sections: Projects, Waiting For, Actions, and a grid section with checkboxes. The reverse is grid over the whole page, five boxes per inch. Paper size: Letter Thumbnail:  Usage advice: Hi. I'm working on incorporating more of the GTD principles into my planning. My planner is quarter-letter in portrait orientation. I wanted to see Projects, Waiting, and Actions all at the same time, but I need a full planner page (4.25x5.5) for each type of item in one context. So I have laminated this page on both sides to use with a Zwipes or wet-erase pen, then folded it and trimmed the edges so only one edge is actually bound into the planner. This allows me to open up the pages and view them side-by-side without removing any pages from my planner. I actually have two copies, one for home and one for work. I printed them on different colored paper so I could easily tell them apart. The lamination is not required to make this page work, that just makes the page more reusable. Nor does it actually have to be bound into a planner. As drawn, it will fold neatly to fit in the back pocket of a pair of jeans or in the pocket of a purse. The margins are set for circa binding. If you have ring binding, the holes may lap into the form a bit. Line width is .2 inch, my personal preference. The second page of this template is a full page grid, for whatever notes or thoughts come up that need to be captured. Both PDF and OOo Draw files are included, so you can print as-is or tweak it to suit yourself.
