Vertical Left Planner Layout: How to Use and Make It

Vertical Left planner refill with a sample entry

What is this layout?

Tai-chan, the Timekeeper Deco mascotDaily time sections on the left, a free grid for notes on the right.
Vertical Left puts three days in the upper row and four days in the lower row, with a memo box at the top left.

How to use

  1. In MEMO at the top left, write 2–3 goals for this week.
  2. In each day's time section, write club, tutoring, and meetups in the time rows.
  3. Red is for tests and due dates, green for fun, highlighter for the most important.
  4. In the grid on the right, write notes or a look back, however you like.

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

Good if you want time and notes in one book, or want to rethink how you use time.

FAQ

Q. How is Vertical Left different from Weekly Vertical?
A. The week is split into two rows, so each day gets a wider column. You can keep your timed plans and your notes on one sheet.

Q. What is the memo box for?
A. Use it for weekly goals, shopping lists or to-dos that do not belong to one day.
