#3 - How To Use Different Layouts - Monthly Layout – How to Plan Series

The very first layout and most basic is the monthly layout. The monthly layout should always be your first stop for your most important information, future planning and planning ahead. Any day-specific and timed-events such as birthdays, doctor’s appointments, bills, or anything high priority you don’t want to forget, should always go into the month first, then shuffle down to your week and then to the day depending on your flow. Most monthly layouts are going to be four or five weeks. You can store a lot of information on a monthly spread and depending on your needs, a monthly planner or wall calendar may be all you need.
