I was wondering about the use of next years planner pages and if it is ok to open them now and start usng them now, as opposed to waiting til late december to get them organized. I am not an overly busy person, so there is no rush or not a lot of info to move around. I thought that i was kind of taboo to use a new calendar early...

So I have both the monthly calendar and the daily pages. <BR/><BR/>I use the Day-Timer month on two pages calendar-- it has space for notes and the month's goals.

It really helps to see what I have scheduled for the month so that I don't over schedule myself. I can see how many weekends I have free (if any). I only use it as an at-a-glance view, with the details written in the weekly view. I can't live without both views.

I remember someone named Paulien who posted some comments there, not sure it was you. There are templates you can customise and a dynamic template that you download and can set to print out the range of dates you want. It's a pretty good solution for free calendars. You can set them to print the week starting on Monday or Sunday.<BR/><BR/>gghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16326070581375103181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-28585432310792008312008-10-10T09:30:00.000-04:002008-10-10T09:30:00.000-04:00I too keep previous year's pages.
