Direct Sales Planner – EDITABLE

I had so much fun creating this Direct Sales Planner. I’ve tried to think of everything so you don’t have to! There will probably be more pages than you need but you can mix and match and choose which pages work best for you.

This planner is great if you’re just starting out in direct sales or are a pro! Below are some of the 150 pages included in this set (I cannot show previews of all pages as some people have copied pages from my other planner sets).

This planner is available in 7 colours (see photo above). To purchase, click HERE. Also available on Etsy – see HERE. Direct links to each colour: purple, pink, green, light blue, dark blue, grey, black. Can’t decide on a colour? Purchase them all HERE

The pages are letter size but can be printed at any size you like (such as half size or 8.5 x 5.5″) by changing a few setting on your printer menu. See this post for printing tips (and helpful screenshots of what to select).

New Half Size Printable Planners for 2015

After many requests for half size planner pages, I have created the half size day to a page planner versions as well as the half size extras. Go here to check them out!

Half Size Day to a Page

Chevron half size day to a page

Half Size Extras

 Chevron half size extras

You can now also purchase the planner in the half size (months only) with no weekly or daily planner pages if you prefer to manage your time this way.

Or just the months by themselves. Rainbow

Chevron

I have also designed a new half-size weekly layout that allows more room to write with the days going across the page than the columns like the letter size (full size) planner style.

I hope you guys like this new planner style as much as I enjoyed creating it 🙂

If you’re concerned about using up printer ink you could have the files printed at your local office supply store (send me a convo via etsy and I will give you a print release) the chevron and stripes patterns also print nicely in greyscale.

Printing instructions are included. Before printing you will need to pre-cut letter size paper in half (most office supply stores will do this for you if you don”t have a paper trimmer, you can also buy pre-cut paper reams)

You can read more about the rainbow planner and chevron planners in THIS post.

My 2015 Printable Rainbow Daily Planner

Today I’d like to introduce my new daily planner!

Please excuse the poor quality photos – the colours are actually much brighter in person!

I. Am. OBSESSED with it! I created the whole planner from scratch (well, except the arc notebook I used to assemble it of course). The planner pages are 8.5 x 11″ in size. I know a lot of people prefer the smaller planner sizes but portability and compactibility isn’t an issue for me as I carry a large handbag. I’ll discuss printing options if you’d like to use the pages in an A5, half size or filofax planner at the bottom of this post.

One of the most important things about a planner is its’ pretty cover page! I am OBSESSED with pretty cover pages. Every binder I use has to have a cover page. I created one cover for the planner then came up with ideas for another cover. And another one. I ended up with about 15 covers before I finally gained some self-control. I get bored with covers easily so I intend to use a different one each month. This is the one I am currently using:

I’ve listed all the other covers in my Etsy shop if you’re a cover addict like me. These covers are personalised with your monogram and/or other wording that you would like. Due to customisation these are sent within 48hours of your purchase.

These covers are an instant download so you can use them right away!

You could also pair the planner with one of my other binder covers

Let’s take a tour of my planner!

After the cover page is the ‘this belongs to page’ in case my planner ever gets lost.

Followed by the 2014 and 2015 dates at a glance pages (with space tor record those new years resolutions/goals that I’m going to try and accomplish)

I forget to take photos of these pages in my assembled planner.

Then the ‘special dates’ page where I list national holidays for 2014 , 2015 and 2016. This sheet is not pre-filled so you could live anywhere in the world and still use this planner! I live in Australia which is why this page is not pre-filled with American holidays. You can find a summary of national holidays relevant to your country on this website

Important dates where I list birthday’s, anniversaries ect. You could also use it for annual planning.

 

FOR EACH MONTH

Monthly divider (I recommend printing single sided onto cardstock. I use this brand).

Monthly planning page

2 page monthly calendar spread

An undated editable version is also available.

Notes

Daily and/or weekly planning pages – I have created 3 different weekly spreads.

Meal planning & checklist

Checklist

This is the weekly spread that I personally use. I am obsessed with lists so this layout has been working perfectly for me!

The ‘simple‘ version where you can make it your own e.g. add lines across the page to separate each column into boxes to separate things like school, work, social, reminders, meal planning ect. Or just keep the columns blank with lots of open-ended writing space

For those who prefer to have one page for each day:

I also have an undated (and editable!) version. I use this on days where I need to get a lot done and I want to map out exactly how I will use my time. I call this the ‘schedule’ planning method (rather than the open-ended weekly pages). There are 2 lines beside each hour – one line per 30 minutes of the day. I print a few off and keep them at the back of the planner then transfer them to the current week when I need them.

Wondering what that un-labelled box is for? Anything! After designing and using many daily planners I have found that I needed a section that was flexible. Some days I use this box to record my exercise plan, on other days I use it for reminders or calls I need to make. I also like having a large notes section so I can jot down messages when I’m on the phone. I used to scramble around for a piece of paper which I then couldn’t find a few days later. This way I can keep everything in order 🙂 The meals box is big enough to plan all daily meals or just dinner and a few things I need to pick up from the store on my way home.

After all the months, I include extra notes pages as well as pages you can purchase separately from the ‘Extra’s package.’ I store these pages behind the ‘Miscellaneous’ divider (which comes with the planner).

Editable Meal Planner & Grocery List

You can also print 2 copies of the 1 sheet onto a single page (see below). For instructions on how to do this see here

Password Log

To do checklist

Contacts

Weekly Planning page. I keep this at the back and use it to note routine things that need to be completed each day (or most days of the week). I am considering moving it to the front of the planner.

Extra notes pages

Calendar stickers

I LOVE calendar stickers but they are very hard to find in Australia so I made my own. Because I am obsessed with things being coordinated I used the same colours as the rainbow stripe pattern on the planner. I made my own template in photoshop and printed the 6 sheets onto full sheet 8.5 x 11″ label paper then cut using a guillotine (you could also use a paper trimmer or scissors). I keep them in a clip top bag in the ziplock pouch I also purchased for the back of the planner.

Money Stickers

The colours do actually print that nice and bright. The photos makes them look much darker than they actually are!

Events Stickers

School Stickers

Number Stickers

Home/Maintenance Stickers

Medical Stickers

 

UPDATE: I have become a sticker addict in the past few months. You can shop all available stickers in the online store and on Etsy.

I bought these pockets to keep random papers in. E.g. if I get the mail on my way out the door I will tuck it in these pockets and take them out when I get home.

Back cover (should you choose to have your planner spiral bound or use it in a binder)

If you’re concerned about printer ink, here are how some of the pages look printed in greyscale:

Still quite pretty!

HOW I ORGANISE MY PLANNER

1. Colour code. I write everything in my planner in black pen. I don’t use a special brand of pen. I use cheap ones from discount stores like the Reject Shop and Crazy Clark’s. I live in Australia so I don’t have access to Walmart :(. I then highlight each ‘thing’ in my planner in a different colour. For example: yellow is Etsy, pink is personal, green is appointments and social events, purple is to do’s, orange is family and light blue is finances. When I was in school I used to use different colours for homework, assessment due dates ect.

2. Calendar Stickers (which I mentioned above). They’re rainbow and co-ordinate with my planner – nuff said 🙂

HOW I USE MY PLANNER

1. I write things like when bills are due in the monthly view. I also note any appointments and social events. I try to minimise what I write in the monthly view to prevent it from being over-cluttered. One of the reasons I use a full-size planner is because of the large writing space in the monthly view. I have used smaller planners before and found I filled the little boxes too quickly. I also cannot stand trying to write something into a planner and not having the page to lean my hand against as I enter a task (hopefully you understand what I mean, I know I didn’t explain that very clearly :/)

2. The weekly views show each day in more detail. Occasionally I review my ‘master’ to do list which I keep in my lists book. I shared some pictures of it at the bottom of this post. Basically I printed off all the sheets from my lists kit and bound them into a notebook.

Anyway, in the lists book I have monthly to do lists. At the start of the year I list things I’d like to complete for each month (personal, work – everything) and stop about 5 lines short of the bottom of the page (gotta keep room for ideas that pop up throughout the year!) Each month I pick out the main to do’s and fill the first monthly to do list column in the planner (on the monthly planning page).  I keep the second column free for to do’s I think of throughout the month. So basically the lists book is a ‘reference’ and my planner summarises those lists.

I’ll pick a few of the monthly to do’s in my planner that I feel are the highest priority. I transfer tasks that need to occur to complete each of those to do’s to the weekly pages of my planner. For example, if I am working on a new planner set then I will break the planner down into smaller to do’s and allocate those throughout the weeks of the month. I write these steps in the unlined section of each day. I keep the checklists for routine tasks such as laundry, grocery shopping, emptying the dishwasher, de-cluttering ect.

The reason I love the layout of the weekly pages is because they are simple, uncluttered, flexible and don’t have too much colour. I do love a bit of colour (hence the rainbow stripe), but because I highlight/colour-code my planner I kept it to black only below the pattern. I don’t like planners that include mini monthly views on each weekly spread as I find this a massive waste of space. I rarely need to know what day a certain date falls on and if I do I have the monthly summary pages and the dates at a glance places to refer to.

I do use tabs as you can see in the pictures. I purchased these from Staples. They were pre hole punched for a 3 ring binder but I punched over the top – they are made of a plastic-like material so they still stay in place in the Arc notebook. I am on the lookout for nicer tabs because I’d prefer them to be thicker like cardstock. If anyone knows of any good tabs please let me know!

So that’s my planner! If anyone has any questions or comments I’d love to hear from you 🙂

***PRINTING YOUR PLANNER***

The pages are 8.5 x 11″ in size. They will work with printers that CAN do duplex printing and also printers that CANNOT do duplex printing. Detailed printing instructions are included in your purchase. As all printers are different, I cannot offer technical support for printing. No refunds will be made if you are unable to print the pages due to your printer having different settings than shown in the example/if you do not know how to use your printer. If you are having problems printing your planner at home, I recommend printing at your local office supply store.

If you want to use the pages in an A5/Filofax/half size planner you can by using ‘2 per page’ or ‘multiple’ print settings and then cut the 8.5 x 11″ sheet in half. However, they will be single-sided.

If you would like to use the planner pages in a personal or smaller than half size planner I do not recommend doing this. You can print any page at any size (smaller than 8.5 x 11″). See this post on printing tips for instructions (tip 2). The reason I do not recommend this is because you will need to cut every sheet down to size.

As a side note – a coupon is included in the printing instructions document which you can use on all future purchases until the end of 2015!

***PLANNER SOURCE LIST***

Arc punch (I’ve read that the Levenger punch is compatible)

Pink Arc notebook (A4 size)

A5 zip pockets they also have A4 size 

A4 Pockets

They have lots of other fun extras you can add like business card holder

By the way, I am in no way affiliated with Staples or this brand I just like their products 🙂

Shopping List

I also use this sheet as a wish list for all those things I want to purchase.

Annual weight tracker. Record your weight each week and any loss/gain. At the end of the year (or more regularly such as monthly), compare your weight to your initial weight and your goal weight. Write notes about your weight loss goals and how you aim to achieve them.

Vitamins and supplements tacker. Having trouble remembering if you took your fish oil tablet ect? This chart is super handy. You can also use it to keep tracker of when you need to take prescription medicines. This sheet can record up to 6 vitamins and supplements or medication per week for any month.

Find a recipe you want to try when flicking through a magazine or browsing online? Record it on this ‘recipes to try’ sheet. There’s space to note the recipe name, source and give it a rating out of 5.

Similar to the recipes to try sheet. The ‘healthy recipes’ sheet is a handy reference for you favourite recipes. It is a great reference when you don’t know what to cook. You can list the recipe, source and type of meal (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack or dessert) for quick reference.

Jot down the number of calories and points ect. for foods you frequently eat.

Then, each day, record what you ate at each meal time, as well as the number of calories and or points. You can compare the total daily calories with the recommended adult daily intake.

To help plan your meals, there are 2 weekly meal planners included. You can choose the one that suits you best, or you could alternate between both.

This one has room to plan 6 meals per day:

This one can be used for breakfast, lunch and dinner. You can combine all your snacks into the one section. This is handy for keeping track of your water intake, and for recording your daily calories and/or points.

Categorized Grocery List – jot down the ingredients you need when deciding your weekly meal plan (or monthly if you use the calendar included in this set). Don’t forget to refer to the health recipes sheet I mentioned above. The grocery list is categorized so you can get in and out as fast as possible!

Now for the actual fitness section of the planner! Included is this workout log which I find really useful. I can record up to 5 exercise activities e.g. 10min warm-up jog, 50 sit ups, 30min run on treadmill ect. and the time, distance, sets, rep or weight (as applicable to each activity). There’s room for up to 4 days per sheet with space for notes (i.e. 4 days of exercise per week = one sheet).

If you want a planning sheet that’s more flexible, this workout schedule is great. There’s plenty of space to plan your daily exercise or use the space however you want!

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, a good place to start is with the goals sheet:

You can list up to 5 healthy lifestyle/fitness goals and plan out how you will complete them. There is space to affix a before photo and/or a photo of your goal body at the bottom of the page. You can also use this space to record motivational quotes and/or other.

And to make sure you stay on track, there’s a today’s goals sheet:

Calendars and To Do Lists – Household Binder

The last set in the chevron household binder set is the Calendar and To Do Lists!

I split this section in two with one divider for calendars…

And one for my to do lists…

Behind the calendars section I have my 12 month calendar. This set comes with 12 perpetual calendars (one for each month) so you can use it for an/every year by simply writing the dates on the lines provided in the top left of each box. I used the coordinating calendar formatted with dates for 2013 sold separately in my shop (if you purchase that calendar you can choose the start month).

This set also comes with a blank perpetual calendar that can be used for anything you like… a meal planner, schoolwork planner, family calendar, cleaning schedule, bill payment tracker, exercise tracker, blog post planner…

Matching lined notepaper is also included. I like to print a few sheets and keep them in plastic page protectors at the back of this section.

Next is the To Do Lists section. First I have my ongoing to do list with handy checkboxes so I can tick off tasks once completed. I use this sheet for tasks that don’t need to be completed by a certain date including ideas for craft projects and new products for my etsy shop.

Then I have a weekly planner. I have tons of weekly planners in my shop and tend to use a few depending on how busy my week is. So far I am liking this weekly planner. I write my date in the top right-hand corner for each day and can list tasks, events ect. for each day. There is only room for 7 tasks per day so it’s good when you have lots to do but really need to focus on a few things at a time so you don’t feel overwhelmed.

Sometimes I like to keep 2 weekly planners side-by-side. This one is a flexible weekly planner that can be used to plan appointments, to do’s, meals ect.

Following on from this is the weekly grocery list and to do list. The to do list is not day/date specific so I use it for tasks that I want to complete sometime during the week. For example, one of this week’s tasks was to list new multi-coloured daily planners which I did here 

If you wanted to you could cut along the line and take the grocery list with you to the shops. I actually use this as a sort of ‘wish list’ when I am browsing online. It gives you the option to use one sheet per week but I find that this sheet can actually last me up to a month.

This sheet is great for planning ahead or if you have a few different to do lists on the go. You can use it monthly and allocate tasks for each full week of the month. You could also use it for cleaning tasks, home projects, online shopping wish lists, things to make ect.

Last I have my daily planner. The reason being is that I don’t need to use this sheet every day. I like to use it on really busy days where I need to stay focused and can outline my entire day. This sheet allows you to allocate tasks every 30min from 6am – 9:30pm. You can also write your daily to do’s, errands, emails & calls, breakfast lunch and dinner as well as notes.

UPDATE: I have since moved all the to do list pages to my ‘book of lists’ which I discussed in this post.

In total there are 20 sheets included. The pages are letter size but can be printed at any size you like (such as half size or 8.5 x 5.5″) by changing a few setting on your printer menu. See this post for printing tips (and helpful screenshots of what to select)

As with all the other sets in the household binder, there are 5 colours to choose from: purple, hot pink, green, dark blue and black and white. Click the photo below if you want to see samples of the sheets in the other colours.

UPDATE: Now also available in light blue! And the purple version is available in editable format.

Editable means:
– When you open the files there will be light blue boxes where you can type in your information (this will NOT remain light blue when printed).
– You can still print and hand-write on the sheets (the blue boxes won’t appear on your printed copy)
– The fillable font is helvetica in black
– The checkboxes are not editable. The forms are intended for filling out on the computer, then printing out and checking each item off as you go
– The actual layout of the printable including pattern, pattern colour, font style, existing text ect. are not editable and cannot be changed

Household Binder – Meal Planning Set

Today I am going to walk you through my meal planning set

There are 25 sheets in this set which is available in the online store and in my Etsy shop

There are 12 perpetual monthly menu’s which are great for dinner planning. Simply write the date on the line at the top left of each square and then fill out your dinner menu. You could use colour-coded pens for different food groups (e.g. red for fish, green for beef ect.)

If you prefer to plan your menu on a weekly basis:

This sheet is ideal for printing, laminating and attaching to your fridge.  I recommend using pegs with magnetic backing decorated with washi tape! The notes section can be used to list food that is nearly run out/has run out then added to your weekly shopping list.

There are two different shopping lists in this set. A categorised one for grocery shopping:

And one that can be used for general shopping, errands and to do’s:

There is a pantry inventory which can be attached to a clipboard and hung from a hook on your pantry door:

There is also a categorised 3 page pantry inventory if you have a big family or are lucky enough to have a huge pantry!

There are sections for: spreads, snack foods, miscellaneous, baking supplies and canned foods.

Next up is the fridge/freezer inventory:

First, I list the item under the relevant category. Then, when I purchase the item I put a line from left to right in the first box. When the item is finished, I then put another line from right to left (to make a cross) so I know to check to see the pantry to see if we need more.

For those who like flexible planners. This weekly meal planner is perfect!

There is space to plan whatever meals you like for each day and write your shopping list on the one handy sheet! When it’s time to go grocery shopping you can simply cut the grocery list and take it with you!

When I’m browsing through magazines or recipe websites online (such as taste.com – my personal favourite!) I like to make note of recipes to try so they don’t get lost in the favourites on my computer. Once we try a recipe I give it a rating (1 being awful and 5 being awesome).

This is another weekly meal planner (I know there are a few but this set is designed to be flexible so you can use all the sheets or only the sheets that suit you).

This menu planner is great for people with big handwriting who don’t like the confines of lines! This one is also perfect for attaching to your fridge or even a whiteboard (if you are organised enough to have a command centre in/near your kitchen). You can write your grocery list and errands to map out the most efficient route to the shops and back!

Lastly, for those who like to meal plan 2 weeks at a time:

This ones perfect for a binder (although there is room to hole punch all sheets in my shop).

But that’s not all!

This set comes in 5 colours! Choose between black, green, hot pink, dark blue and my personal favourite – purple!

UPDATE: The meal planning set is now also available in: light blue (and editable!), grey and red. The green version is also available in editable format!

Editable means:
– When you open the files there will be light blue boxes where you can type in your information (this will NOT remain light blue when printed).
– You can still print and hand-write on the sheets (the blue boxes won’t appear on your printed copy)
– The fillable font is helvetica in black
– The checkboxes are not editable. The forms are intended for filling out on the computer, then printing out and checking each item off as you go
– The actual layout of the printable including pattern, pattern colour, font style, existing text ect. are not editable and cannot be changed
