Earlier this year I posted a summary of a 5-day liveblogging of my day. I made a grid in Excel that helped me visualize not only where the time had gone, but what kind of time it happened to be. This was an interesting exercise, and I made a 5-day planning format form loosely based on the Emergent Task Planner. For more information, read the Five day Planner (P5P) Page.
It’s pretty straightforward, which is why it’s called the “Plain Old 5-Day Planner”. Basic grid paper, downloadable as a PDF. You’ll need Adobe Acrobat Reader to print it out. Updates for 2010 are minor; I just added separate “starting hour” times for each of the five days by request.
Instructions
- Fill in the hours on the left-hand side.
- Jot down what you need to do, when.
- Keep notes on the right-hand side.

If you’re willing to do another adaptation, I’d appreciate a version that doesn’t have the abbreviated names of the days. Just a blank box.
Just needing a way to track my days (particularly how much I use the internet), and that won’t be sequentially or only on weekdays.
Coming back to this form because of your recent updates.

I have been looking so long for a weekly planner, none that suits my needs. This plain 5 day planner is different from the others. I can see myself more organised already. TQ David…
I’d love to see a refresh of this. A 2-page portrait version would work great in a binder.
