It's set up pretty close to the FC Compact - two pages with space to write notes or monthly index on the front and back. <br /><br />The daily pages are set up like FC 2 pages per day but they end at 5:00 with one little time slot for the whole evening. That's not going to work for me.

I have A-Z tabs in the front for filing various topics and A-Z tabs in the back for addresses. I do not use weekly. Sometimes I do a weekly plan sheet (a form is on my blog) to plan the week but I don't usually refer to pattygardner.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08465166654988101342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-78367214847344934712012-12-17T15:50:27.109-05:002012-12-17T15:50:27.109-05:00Kelly, there was a quite extensive guestpost from ...Kelly, there was a quite extensive guestpost from Patty on plannerisms.com.

I checked out the format of the Day Timer 2ppd and it comes with a monthly calendar on the tabs and the daily pages are interleaved. But the monthly calendar is on 1 page and the boxes are very smallCherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17724328224689359468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-44931745075437501422012-12-17T08:47:40.604-05:002012-12-17T08:47:40.604-05:00Hi Patty.

I've seen some of your setup on your blog, but I would love to know how you have your tabs arranged!

I haven't decided if I'm going to use them or try to just use FF inserts. If I use FF inserts, I'll probably make a separate page for the Monthly Index.

My dream would be the plan FC day on two pages, monthly pages with tabs that would fit a personal Filofax (sigh). Same problem with the quality of the FC binders, too - and they are just so bulky and brick-like.

They're a similar style to the FC 2ppd.

Been married 31 years as well. Live in the midwest (Michigan). Have used Franklin Covey since the early 90's as well (lost track as to how many FC binders I once owned) and then earlier this year switched to Filofax.

I too have ADD and find a lot of music to be distracting, but I discovered a local station that airs classical music 24/7 and I just leave that on all day long. It was sort of "white noise" at first, but after a few years I'm starting to really know the composers and their music and it's opened up a whole new world to me.
