Weekly Planner Template

A weekly planner is the sheet most people print more than any other, and most of the ones you can find online are built for a screen and only then sent to a printer: the weekend squeezed into a corner, a pastel background that empties a cartridge, a header that belongs to someone else. This one is drawn for paper first. It is for anyone who plans a week by hand, prints the same layout every Sunday night, and wants it to look like it was made for them.

The week runs across the page in seven equal columns. Saturday and Sunday get the same room as a Tuesday, because a weekend has plans too and a column half the width is a column you stop writing in. Each day is ruled for handwriting at a pitch that fits a normal pen, with the day's name at the top and, if you want it, the date. Under the days sit the sections you turn on or off: a top three for the week, a row for meals, a habit strip with seven boxes per line, and a notes box. Leave them all off and the days take the whole page.

Dated or undated is a switch, not a second template. Undated prints the day names only, so one sheet lasts a year of Mondays. Turn Dated on, pick any day of the week you want, and the sheet fills in that week's dates, Monday to Sunday or Sunday to Saturday, whichever you start on. The heading shows the span, and it gets the month boundary right, so the last week of the year reads December 28 to January 3 rather than pretending.

One decision worth explaining: the sections are toggles instead of separate designs. A planner with meals and habits and a planner without them are the same planner, and making you choose between two listings, or buy both, is how template sites pad their catalogs. Here it is one file, and the layout closes up around whatever you leave out, so there is never an empty box with a heading over it.

Print it at 100%, not fit to page, on ordinary copier paper; a planner is meant to be written on and thrown away. If you print one every week, pick the light-ink theme. It keeps the rules and one accent and drops everything else, and it is the reason this template has a light-ink theme at all. The free version is the same design in the Studio theme, undated, on Letter, with a small credit line at the foot. The paid version carries your title and your name, all eight themes, the dates, and comes back in Letter and A4 from one purchase, with a link that works for a year.
