Monthly + Index Planner Layout: How to Use and Make It

Monthly + Index planner refill with a sample entry

What is this layout?

Tai-chan, the Timekeeper Deco mascotA monthly layout with month tabs (1–12) and a MEMO section.
Monthly layouts show one month (or two) on a single sheet.

How to use

  1. Write plans in the day boxes (they're a little small).
  2. Put what doesn't fit in the MEMO section at the bottom.
  3. Use the month tabs on the right edge to jump to any month.

The sample picture above shows a middle-schooler's plans: red = tests, due dates and deadlines; green = fun plans; yellow highlighter = the one most important thing. Layouts differ, so each one is written a little differently.

★ Tip

Keep plans short, details in MEMO. Handy for monthly goals too.
