How To Use a Weekly Planner
Used in conjuction with a monthly calendar, it takes just 10 minutes to plan the week ahead by following these 5 easy steps:
1) Review the week's appointments as you copy them from your monthly calendar. The expanded format allows you to add appointments and commitments as they come up.
2) Carry forward any "To-Do's" that might be left from the last week. Group activities to see what needs to be done and to allow you to manage your time efficiently.
3) Decide what your overall goal for the week is and write it in the space provided. Keep this goal in mind as you complete the week's planning and see how quickly goals are achieved!
4) Schedule into your week at least one activity that leads toward your goal.a phone call to make.and errand to run.the starting of a project.the writing of one letter.
5) Schedule other activities. Remember to schedule personal time or time out.

Why All Those Rings? And Why the Short Forms?

The number of rings helps the forms stay in place better than a binder with only 3 or 5 rings. Layering, or reverse shingling, the short forms allows you to see the heading, category or name at the top of each short page. Update add, delete or replace the information of any short page. Other information remains--does not have to be copied. Organize information by grouping it under headings, and find it again easily and quickly. Choose your own headings. Find new uses for short forms!

Some examples of headings:
 -To-do section of a business organizer might have:
     -Letters to Write
     -Prospects To Call
     -Clients To Call
     -Projects To Work On
     -Networking Contacts to Make
 -To-do section for home management might have:
     -Books To Buy
     -Grocery List
     -Gift Ideas
     -Birthdays/Anniversaries This Month (or Week)

The list above is only the beginning...your organizer can have as many sections it needs because it is Customized By You! Let Designs by Mary Anne...Customized By You! binders and forms be a solution to your personal information organizing problems!
