If you could include anything you wanted in a weekly planner design, what would you include?


I went shopping for one today, and realized I am far too picky (vertical sections for days, weekly goals column, etc), so I'm just going to design my own. It's going pretty well but feedback is always welcome. What am I forgetting? What is an awesome feature I haven't thought of?


(Hi guys, I'm back from camp. It was great.)

Yay! Love and kisses!

Planner: I like having both a month and a weekly spread. I like having a spiral bind so I can keep a pen with it. Those are my two basics.

As an organizational fiend, I love this question!

Things I always look for:
Big vertical boxes for each day to write appointments.
But also for each day, its own to do box--so two boxes for each day.
Actually three--for writing down the day's expenses--if that's the sort of thing you do.

A weekly notes section for miscellaneous things that don't fit into the day boxes.
Where the dates go, I like a little extra space to write in people's birthdays and personal holidays (I don't like putting it in the appointment box itself).
Small enough to carry around in a bag or purse but still big enough for the big boxes.
A pen holder/some easy way to store one with the planner.
A pocket for stamps, paper clips, notes, stubs--reason why I love the moleskine.

(Definitely post your eventual design! I am looking for an ideal planner myself. For now I buy blank moleskines and create my own but it's still not perfect.)

More important than anything else? A monthly calendar view *and* weekly views.
