Trawling back through the Philofaxy archive, I came across this post, from eight years ago...

If I could find a planner that could show my weekly schedule (varying times for appointments) in view at all times and have a daily view to jot my to do's and chores (some recurring, some needed to be done on a specific day) also in view then I would truly be in heaven. I hate flipping from one section to another. If I don't see it, I won't use it.
My immediate thought was "How about splitting a page into upper & lower sections, each of which uses three rings?"
Upper set of pages could be weekly view.
Lower set of pages could be daily view.
You would have two split rulers, too; one for the weekly view, one for the daily view. The weekly ruler would advance once a week, and the daily ruler once a day.
With this system, you can have the weekly and daily views open at the same time, and you can move each of them separately as needed. The weekly view gives the overview of the week, and the daily view allows you to be more detailed, with whatever layout you prefer (timetable, tasks/to-do, communications, etc).
You would need to have only a subset of the daily diary pages, if you don't want the lower half to be a lot thicker than the upper half.
So I modified my wo2p script to create this half-page view. For Personal pages, it is convenient to have the holes symmetrical within the half page, so that means 7/8", 3/4", 3/4", 7/8" between paper edges and holes, giving a total sheet height of 3.25". It also allows a 1/4" gap between upper and lower half pages, which will stop them clashing; due to using just three holes, fairly closely spaced, the pages do flop about a bit.
Due to the restricted space on the half page, I removed the monthly calendars from the page header, and reduced the size of the date text. I may add a single-month 'calendar strip' at the bottom of the daily insert (which I have yet to design and code).
If anyone is interested, I can write it up with some pictures, and provide the scripts or finished pages.
