How to use it
Start with the three sticky notes at the top. Write the three things that would make today a good day before you look at the schedule. Then give each one a slot in the hours you really have. The short to-do list is for the small things that still have to happen.
At the end of the day, fill in the done list. Put everything on it, including what was never planned. Most days look better on the done list than they felt.
If you want the reasoning behind the three, plan your day in 5 minutes walks through it.

Printing it
Print at "Actual size" or 100% so the boxes keep their shape. The colours are light on purpose: they use little ink and stay readable on a black and white printer. The page is undated, so one PDF lasts as long as you want it to.

Questions about the daily planner
Are these printable planners really free?
Yes. Download and print as many copies as you like for personal, family, classroom or team use. There is no email sign-up. Please don't sell them or upload them elsewhere; link to domahan.com/printables/ instead.
Should I choose A4 or US Letter?
A4 (210 x 297 mm) is the standard paper size in most countries, including India, the UK, Europe and Australia. US Letter (8.5 x 11 inches) is used in the United States, Canada and a few other countries. Check the paper pack if you're not sure.
Will they print well in black and white?
Yes. The colours are light tints, so the lines and boxes stay clear on a black and white printer and don't use much ink on a colour one. Print at actual size (100%) so the boxes keep their shape.
Is there an app version?
doMahan is a free Android planner built on the same idea: tasks are sticky notes you swipe up when done and down when not. It works offline and needs no account.
