How to create own planner I can read and keep in shirt pocket

[Guest]

When I went to Office Depot and looked at planners they all seem too big or
not user friendly.

For years I used a particular planner that was big and I carried it in my
brief case. That was bad enough and now I am retired and still need a planner
(you know all the things retirees do like go to five different doctors in
between senior days at the supermarket and movie theater).

Maybe it is just old age, but I always had to write appointments down and
now is no different. I just don't want to carry a briefcase around .

I would like to make up a planner with one page per day(no hours) and blank
pages for notes, telephone numbers, and the other things I now have to jot
down on whatever scrap of paper is handy.

I might not get it small enough for my shirt pocket, but maybe half the size
of a standard 8X11 printer paper that can be used on both sides?

What I am hopping is that someone has already created something similar that
I can use or modify for use. Thanks very much for reading. I look forward to
your reply.

You might check

there is anything you could adapt.

Also, if you're open to looking for a ready-made solution, you might look
into the "pocket" size (3.5" x 6.5") or "compact" size (3" x 5") Day-Timer
planners, which come in a variety of layouts--one page per day, two pages
per day, two pages per week, etc.; see http://www.daytimer.com/. You can
also Google for "pocket planner" to find a variety of other options.

Thank you. I did not see a template that I liked and will look for one, as
you suggested, in the Daytimers. I only checked Office Depot. Maybe they just
do not stock these small ones.
