jeff@12easypieces.com http://12easypieces.com December 13, 2007 Dear Friend, If you’re reading this, you’ve downloaded my Poet’s Weekly Planner (for scholars, writers, parents, and dreamers), you lucky, lucky person. You probably came from 43Folders, because I haven’t posted this anywhere else yet, because I’m really not ready to make this public. But it seemed useful for the discussion, and I decided to make it available to you, because you’re special and you’re worth it. Mama always loved you best. Eventually, I’ll probably put some Creative Commons license on it, but not yet. For now, it’s mine and I’m keeping all rights. Grrrrr. I need to finish it up and write some explanation before I get to that point. Plus, if you served an LDS mission in the 1980s or 1990s you might recognize that it is, in some respects, a shameless rip off of the blue1 cardstock planner you carried for two years. I’m not sure I have the legal rights do distribute it (though I suspect I do, now that I’ve made some changes). So you are welcome to use it, but if I catch you selling it or redistributing it, I will be very displeased. Here’s the quick and dirty: each month, I print up at least four copies, duplex. I punch them into my letter-size Circa notebook and mark the dates. In my weekly review, I fill in my “hardlandscape” items, and I use the back to list the projects I plan to advance this week. Each day, I make a plan for stuff to do today on a single notecard, sometimes following the advice of Reinhard Engels’ daily foot soldier cards. and sometimes just making an unstructured list. I also have the standard collection of project and context lists on a Pocket Dock-It page in my Circa. The combination of my Weekly Planner and a daily note card works for me. A word or two on the columns on the back: “new” gets a checkmark if the project is new this week. “Q” is sometimes used to indicate which Covey-style quadrant that the item falls in, or sometimes I use “Q” for...
