Two Halves Planner Layout: How to Use and Make It

Two Halves planner refill with a sample entry

What is this layout?

Tai-chan, the Timekeeper Deco mascotThe 1st–15th and the 16th–end of the month sit side by side, left and right.
Monthly layouts show one month (or two) on a single sheet.

How to use

  1. Left is the first half, right is the second. Write in the wide space by each date.
  2. You can write 2–3 lines a day, so club, tutoring, and homework all fit.
  3. Tests in red, fun in green, and highlight the biggest day.

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

You view half a month at a time, so you can focus. Good for detailed plans.
