Are your days typically busy or are certain days of the week busier than others for you? Daily Planner Printables are a great way to stay on track during busy days. Those with super busy days know that a having a daily planner is a crucial component to staying on track with all they need to do in a day. Even those who don’t typically have busy days can benefit from having a daily planner printable or two in their planner for those atypical days when life gets crazy.
Daily Planner Printables
There are so many ways a daily planner printable can be an asset to have in your planner arsenal.
- use one daily if you have a busy schedule
- trying to create a new routine – using a daily planner offers you more room to jot down notes about what is and isn’t working
- big event days like birthday parties or weddings – they’re often full of things you need to remember to do, a daily planner is great place to keep track of that. Make copies to hand out to your helpers.
- use in conjunction with a weekly planner for those days of the week that are busier than normal
- use in conjunction with a monthly planner again for those abnormally busy days
- if you’re trying to keep track of a lot of daily things, like exercise, diet and spending, a daily planner printable would offer enough room to jot that stuff down
Really, the sky is limit for ways you can utilize daily planner printables. We have a variety to choose from in the galleries below.
Full Size Daily Planners
The daily planners found in the collection below are all full-size printables, with means that they are all 8.5″ x 11″ in measurements and will print best on standard letter paper. The great thing about this size is that there is plenty of room to write and these work beautifully for those who like a less cluttered look in their planners.

Half Size Daily Planners
The daily planners found in this collection are what I like to call half-size printables. These still print on standard letter size paper (8.5″ x 11″) however they were designed to fit two 5.5″ x 8.5″ pages per sheet of paper. Simply print and cut in half before binding. These printables are wonderful for those who use or want to create a portable planner.

Hey, Alli – Just found you on Pinterest in searching for a planner!! Love your website – you do great work! I’ve printed out a few of the half-size planner pages on both sides and I noticed something that might be of interest. After cutting the sheets in half, I had planned to take my planner and have it disc-bound, but the margins are not wide enough to accommodate binding or hole-punching. Either process will obliterate a good portion of the planner page. If anyone else has realized this, I would love to know of a solution. Would it be possible to “re-work” the margins? Really loved all the pages.
Hi Laurice,
I’m sorry to hear about the printing issue. The first three printables (the darker ones) were designed so that they could be folded in half and then hole punched, for those who can’t print double-sided. The new ones were all designed with a half inch margin all the way around them. That should leave plenty of space for binding. I recommend checking your printer settings to make sure it’s printing at the actual page size. If you have it set to “fit page” it will shrink those margins a little.
Other than playing with your printer settings I’m not sure what else can be done.
Sorry I can’t be more help.
I am sorry that the time since your email has been written and I have discovered have been 1 year. I have found these wonderful printable pages created by Ali, aka Scattered Squirrel. They are the closest ones I have found that meet my needs. Please read on.
You can have your 1/2 page printed pages spiral bound (I am not sure how much space disc-binding requires) without loss of the printed pages. Here’s how to make double sided copies.
1. Print out the half-size planner page. Pay attention to the position it comes out.
2. Then flip it over (towards the printer) and put it back into the printer drawer.
3. Print out the half-size planner page again. Make 2 double sided pages.
Here’s how to cut down on the amount of handwriting needed:
1. I have decided to combine Sat/Sun because there’s usually not so much going on those days that I can justify using an additional page.
2. SIDE 1: Start on the LEFT side copy. Draw a line to divide Sat & Sun. I trace this line referencing the line from the smaller blocks (hold it up to the light you will see what I mean). Now onto the handwriting portion. Abbreviate the day & month so it looks like SAT. NOV. (leave space to later write in the date) on the left side of the line you’ve just drawn and SUN. NOV on the right side of the line.
3. SIDE 1 Continued: Now move to the RIGHT side copy. Handwriting continued: TUESDAY, NOVEMBER (leave space to later write in the date).
FLIP THE PAGE OVER TO THE BACK SIDE. NOW CONTINUE HANDWRITING.
1. SIDE 2: Starting on the LEFT side copy (on the back of Tuesday) you will write WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER (leaving space to later write in the date).
2. Now moving over to the RIGHT side of the copy (on the back of Sat/Sun.) you will write MONDAY, NOVEMBER (leaving space to later write in the date).
*NOW MOVE ONTO THE **2nd** PAGE YOU COPIED:
1. SIDE 1: Start Handwriting THURSDAY, NOVEMBER on the LEFT copy and FRIDAY, NOVEMBER on the RIGHT copy. (leaving space to later write in the date).
FLIP THE PAGE OVER TO THE BACK SIDE. NOW CONTINUE HANDWRITING.
2. SIDE 2. Start Handwriting THURSDAY, NOVEMBER on the LEFT copy and FRIDAY, NOVEMBER on the RIGHT copy. (leaving space to later write in the date).
—————————–
*MAKE COPIES: The necessary # of copies you need for the month. You may need to use an undated planner page for a few days v. wasting making additional, unusable copies.
*MINI-BINDER: I purchased one at Staples to use while I am trying to create the planner I want to have Spiral bound. I can easily add/delete pages as desired.
*MONTHLY DIVIDERS: These are not an in-store item here so I have ordered them through Staples for $1.99 with free-shipping. Be sure not to choose the Alphabet dividers.
*CALENDARS: I have printed out Half-Sized calendars. BEFORE cutting them apart, I print either lined paper and/or grid paper on the back. Then I cut them in half.
DAILY PLANNER PAGES – Once printed, I fold them in half and set aside
HOLE PUNCH: I have a full-sized hole punch that can be adjusted to accommodate the half-sized pages. However, there was no hard guide so I made guides using Wite-Out tape but that was too tedious to position each page. I shopped the internet, looked at many reviews about a mini stapler & decided to purchase the Mini-Stapler from Staples, the push lever is plastic, the rest appears to be metal, it has a metal guide, and was about $7. To date, I haven’t had any problems with it.
PUNCHING HOLES: Once I have all the pages folded in 1/2, I punch the holes.
CUTTING IN 1/2: Once the holes are punched, I use a paper cutter to cut the pages in half.
SORTING: I put the pages in the correct day order and then into the Binder/Planner.
FINAL STEP: I then put the date on each page. BE SURE to have a Calendar you can readily see so you don’t misdate the pages.
Sorry, this is lengthy but I believe it is necessary in order to give step by step instructions enabling others to complete their planner pages & ready them for binding of some sort. If you have any questions, I’d be glad to answer them.
Thank you so much for taking time to leave such wonderful comment Diana. Your suggestions are awesome!!!!!
Funny you should mention that Laurice, as I am experiencing that very issue with the half size daily planner pages! I am re-purposing an older 3-ring planner binder I already have, and these daily planner pages are structured exactly the way I need them to be, with timed appointments, to do list and breakout by work/home/personal, it’s perfect! 🙂 But when I print them out to insert into my 3 ring binder, I realized that if cut in half and then punch the holes in, I will lose an inch or so from each the right hand and left hand sides of the page 🙁
Shari,
I’m so sorry to hear you’re having the same problem. My best advice is to check your printer settings. The first three (darker colours) have a 1/2 inch margin all around the outside, and were designed so people could fold them in half before binding if they couldn’t print double sided. All the other ones have a 1/2 margin on all sides of each ‘page’ on printable. Make sure your printer isn’t set to “fit to page” and that should help.
Hi Alli,
I love your printables! Thank you so much for making them!
I was wondering if it was possible for you to adjust the half size daily planner in neon like colors to have a larger space in the middle to allow a space to punch holes to put into a binder. I tried to do it myself but failed haha.
Thank you for all you do!
Loved all of these! Really needed a colourful pretty daily planner for my business!
OMG!! this is the planner that I been looking for !!1
thanks for this!! ^_^
verry good idea
I love the layouts of your planner pages, however I feel as though the pastel colors are a bit too light. I would love to use the darker versions but some pages do not have both options. For example I love the daily task (half-size) but I can’t see it very well due to such a light color scheme. Do you have it in the darker colors or suggestions on how to edit? When I tried to open in word it changed the format and stuff.
Hi Kris, yes the pastel colours are very light. I am working on updating these in the 2016 colours and style, but those won’t be ready for a few more weeks. For right now, I suggest playing around in your printer settings and seeing if you can darken the colours that way. I know you can darken them if you scan it, but I don’t know what that does to the quality when you go to print it. Sorry I could be more help. I’ll bump those ones up my list of printables to work on and try to get them out sooner rather than later.
Thank you for the update! I’ve been playing around so much to get it to work, but alas I am not as tech savvy as I thought. I’ll just deal with what you’ve given and wait for the 2016 update. Thank you for making all these, and sharing!
Kris
I have searched high and low on the web for daily planner printables that will work for my unique needs, and came across yours. They are perfect for what I’m looking for. Before, I print them, I was curious if you were planning on updating the colors of the daily and weekly planner pages with the colors that you’ve used for the 2016 covers?
Thank you,
Stefanie
Ha Ha I just saw that someone else asked you about the 2016 colors. Sorry, I should have read ALL the questions and comments before making mine. I will wait patiently for the updated version. Thank you for all your hard work and time that you’ve put into these printables for us for FREE!
Have a Happy New Year!
Stefanie… again. 🙂
What programs do you use to create these, I just love all your layouts and have used them for the past two years. I have tried creating my own and adding my own flavor but no luck. I hope you share what programs I saw you did once but now I cannot find the comment about that 🙁
Hi Missie, I use a program called InkScape to create all my printables. It’s an open source vector drawing program, so this isn’t really what it was designed for, but I like the control it gives me ove what goes where.
I love your printables! Is there any way to customize? I use the Early Start Day Planner, but I would like to change the Work/Blog section to something like Call/Email since I don’t work or have a blog. Thank you for all the work you put into these! They are great!
Peggy
I love your planners! I was wondering if you did any custom daily planners. I am using the early start day planner. Since I am a stay at home mom and I don’t have a blog, I would like to change Work/Blog to something like Call/Email. Is there anyway to do that? Thank you for all the work you put into these!!
Peggy
Hi Alli,
THANK YOU so much for this site. I have been looking for a daily calendar and this one is fine. I had to print it without a border to fit the page and what you have on it is just what I need. I will make a cover and bind it.
I forgot to tell you I can use the back of the page for additional notes.
I love all these pages – so pretty this year! The file for the “cobalt daily to-do list” half-size does not seem to be a downloadable file. The link opens a image only – not a downloadable file. Just wanted you to know!
These designs are so simple and elegant. I really liked the font you used in Daily Task List Planner. What are the names of the fonts you used there?
Hi Lena, I got both fonts from Google Fonts,the lighter weight one is Glass Anitqua and the bolder one is Patua One. I hope that helps.
I’m loving the simple daily agenda to keep myself on task. I would love to have a version that goes in 15 minute increments instead of 30, either in full size or half.
Hi Summer, I’m happy to hear that you’re enjoying the printables. I’ll take a look at the printable, but I’m pretty sure I tried making it in 15 min increments but then the number of hours gets cut in half, but I can remember for sure, so I’ll see what I can do.
Ali, After much effort in searching for half-sized planner pages that meet my needs in a planner, I have found your pages offer enough variety and allow for selection & trials (if desired) to see how they work for each individual. I’m glad that I found your website & enjoy looking at your site even though I am happy with my selection of half-sized daily planner pages. Thank you. Diana
Thanks so much Diana. I’m thrilled to hear that you like the printables and that they’ll be helpful for you! I hope you find some that work just the way you need them too.
What happened to the tap for half-sized
Hi Lydia, the half-size section is still there, I just don’t have the link at the top of the page anymore. I was using a plugin to do that and it stopped working right and was causing issues with the website so I had to remove it. I’m working on fix.
Hi, Alli–Happy New Year! I love your printables and your website! I’ve been using your planner printables for a while, and they really help me–I’m a fellow “scatterbrain,” so I need the focus, lol. Just to let you know, I wanted to print your Days of the Week planner pages; but when they printed, the day of the week was just a bunch of “y”s. It made me laugh, since the rest of the page printed just fine… is it something in the document that’s gone wonky? Or am I the only one with this issue? I’ll still use them, of course–I’ll put a label over the “y”s; but thought you might want to know. Thanks for all your wonderful printables!
