February’s Reader Requests – New Calendar and List Printables Just for You!!!

Welcome back to the next edition of the Reader Requested series. This month, I had the joy of creating some really neat printables for you. Two different calendar designs and some customizable lists make for a really great combination of helpful tools.

One is a brand new design, one is an update to blast from the past printable, and the other is tweak to an existing one. I really did have a lot of fun making these and I hope you have a lot of fun checking them out.

What is Reader Requested?

I started making printables to fit my needs and sharing them with all of you. That grew into designing printables that I thought might be helpful, even if I didn’t need them. Because I want to make sure I’m creating something you actually need, I started taking requests.

Reader Requested is the result of that. It’s a feature series where I make and share printables that have been requests by readers like you.

The Reader Requested feature post will be published once a month and will include 3-5 printables. Some of them may be existing printables with a few changes made to them, others will be brand new.

How to Submit Your Requests

You can submit a request anywhere you follow me. Leave a comment here on the blog. Send me an email. Reach out on social media. Join the Scatter-Brain’s Guide Facebook group where you can share your requests.

Or you can fill out the Printable Request form by clicking the button below.

The more details you include in your request the better able I’ll be to create what you’re in need of.

Just two quick things before we get to the printable.

1. The only requests I do not accept are those asking me to copy another planner or printable.
2. While I would love to make all the requests that come in, I can’t guarantee that I will get to all of them.

February’s Reader Requests

February is my favourite month of the year. I love mid-winter where we live, it’s cold and brisk with a delightful mix of cloudy days and sunshine sparkling off the snow. It’s also my birthday month.

So getting to do one of my favourite things, making printables for you, in my favourite month was a joy. The printables I created at your request this month feature two different kinds of calendars and a set of list printables that are incredibly versatile.

You can scroll on down to check them out or make use of the Table of Contents, found under the picture above, to hop to the ones you want.

Undated Lined Calendars

The first request came in via Facebook messenger from Mary. Mary starts planning for the next school year in January. She was wondering if it was possible to get undated calendar to make planning it easier.

The other features she needed were a two pages per month layout with a Monday start. And if possible, she said she’d like it lined. When I asked Mary what colours she said she like the black and white ones, so those are the ones I used to create the calendars below.

Below you’ll find eight versions of the calendar Mary requested. You have your choice of Monday or Sunday start, as well letter or half letter size. But since I made them so they could be printed double sided, you also get to choose from and academic year, which start in July and ends in June, or the regular calendar year.

Weekdays Only Calendar

I loved the idea for this printable. It came from a comment on another blog post here. Patricia was wondering if it was possible for me to make a monthly calendar with no weekends. She needed something to help schedule doctor visits and other medical appointments. Of course I had to make it for her.

Honestly, I thought this was brilliant. It’s such a great way to schedule or plan out your week. Especially if you’d like a way to schedule certain things without cluttering up your other monthly calendar.

You could use something like this for other kinds of planning as well. It would be great for students who need to plan stuff for school and don’t need the weekends. If you work Monday to Friday you use this to plan your work month only.

I made this to match the current planner collection. If it’s something you’d like to see me include in all of them, drop me a line in the comments below and let me know. I’m happy to make more versions.

Stackable Lists

Here we have an updated version of an older printable. The stackable lists first made an appearance here back in April of 2016. I shared them in the post “Setting Up My New Planner – a Peek Into My Process“

Elisabeth left a comment on a blog post telling me that she really enjoys using these and was wondering if I could create a version with no labels on them. I thought that was a wonderful idea, so that’s what I did.

Not only did I remove the labels, but I also made a few tweaks to make them even more versatile. First, I combined everything into one file, so you don’t have to download multiple pages.

I also created a second set with simple grey grids instead of colorful lists. These are designed for double-sided printing, so you get two full sets of stackable lists with grid backs for extra writing space. If you don’t want the girds, just print only the odd numbered pages, single sided.

Using them is really easy. Each list page includes grey cut guides for easy trimming. After trimming, punch holes on the left of each list to fit your ring or disc planner. To punch them so they stay in alignment, line up the bottom of the lists with your punch before punching. Alternatively, you can also stack and punch them all at once—whichever works best for you.

Mix and match sizes, use only your favorite colors—there’s no right or wrong way to use these! Use only the grid pages if you want something more subtle! If you prefer not to keep them in a planner, just trim an extra quarter inch off the left side for mini note pages.

That’s all I’ve got for this round of Reader Requested. I love the mix of new and old. How neat is that weekdays only calendar? My mind is still spinning with all the ways it could be used.

Do you have a favourite here? Drop me a line in the comments below and let me know. And don’t forget to submit a request for a printable if you’d like.

Until Next Time,

Happy Printing
