HIGHLIGHTED EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES

On September 26, 2022

In Builder, General, Layouts, Notebooks, Planning

You can now add highlights to your events and activities!

You can highlight birthdays, paydays, garbage day, practice, or any other event or activity you don’t want to miss.

Do you forget to pay credit card or utility bills? Did you forget your last anniversary? Highlights might help.

text-highlighting

We have created four highlight colours (yellow, blue, green and pink) so you can find one you like best, or assign different highlight colours to different labels.

To try out the highlights feature, start another agendio or edit an existing one, and go to the events or activities screens, and you’ll see the option in the first column.

UNDATED AGENDIOS

By Max

On September 7, 2022

In Builder, General, Layouts, Planning

We’re pleased to announce that undated agendios are now available!

You can now choose any agendio model and order it as an undated planner. It can be a monthly, weekly or daily, as you wish. The pages will remain mostly the same, especially your schedule, list pagelets and divisible. The difference will be that the date pagelet will be empty, leaving room for you to add the date when you choose to.

Please note that your events, activities and holidays will not be printed in your agendio, since there won’t be any dates to connect them to. Tabs will also not be available, since there won’t be any months to show us where to place them.

If you want your agendio to be undated, follow the same steps you have always followed, but when you get to the Builder, look on the left side of the Info page and you will see a dropdown that allows you to select Undated.

DOUBLE WEEKLIES

Over the years we’ve been asked about double weekly planners – Planners that include two dated spreads for each week. We don’t offer them, but we’d like to share with you examples of double weeklies that customers have been making on their own. Agendios are so customizable that you can not only personalize the content of pages, but also create fundamentally different planners, and what wonderfully creative planners we are seeing.

Why would you want a double weekly? The big benefit is that you create much more space per day than a weekly, without switching to a daily format. Some customers are currently creating one spread for work and the other for home, or one as a regular dated weekly spread and the second as a place to add more detail to each day.

For example, here is a row weekly layout with a secondary weekly created out of divisible pages to add a schedule for each day. The primary row weekly planner pages can’t be used easily for scheduling an entire day, but the secondary pages can.

double-weeklies-A

If you want to make a double weekly, select a configuration that includes at least one spread after each week. We show this as WWEE, the W’s being weekly pages and Es being Extra pages. Then in the Builder, on the Extra pages screen, near the top/right, you highlight your extra pages and customize them to include features that usually come with dated pages. The best pages to use as a base for this are divisibles, either one or two column, or Flex pages.

Here’s an example that includes four Extra pages (we’re showing only two). The primary weekly is made up mostly of a schedule for each day and the Secondary pages add space for todo lists and notes.

double-weeklies-C

And here’s one that adds pages to track billable time by day. Similar to the first example, the primary is a row planner, and the secondary pages are used for schedule-related tracking.

double-weeklies-B

If you’re thinking of making a double weekly, just remember that you need to start with the correct configuration, which includes a weekly followed by two Extra pages. If you forget, or if you want to convert an existing weekly into a double weekly, it’s easy to do: Go to the Builder Info page and at the top you will see a button to change your configuration.

You can now add tabs when you purchase most sizes of Agendio inserts. They are available for all page sizes 7” or bigger, which includes Filofax A5 and Franklin Classic.

You get the same tabs as we offer on our planners, with a few spare ones for adding custom tabs, and with the option of an additional tab strip if you have a large number of Extra page sections.

3-COLUMN LAYOUTS ARE LIVE!

By Max

On June 24, 2020

In Builder, Layouts, Planning

They have only 3 columns to a page, so there’s more room to write on each line. If you’re looking for the widest weekly columns possible, you should check them out.

3-column-layout wide

You can see them on the weekly model pages. They will be at or near the top of your list, just below any models that are in your library (which are always first).

We’ve added a new side-by-side label pagelet option on a few of the new models, where you can choose between fewer wider pagelets or more narrower ones. It’s a bit like a horizontal divisible. Let us know if you like the idea!

And as always, let us know if you have any questions.

3-COLUMN LAYOUTS

We’re working on some new layouts. We thought you might like to know, in case you’re customizing your next agendio.

We’re designing a number of “3-column” layouts, meaning they have only 3 columns to a page, so there’s more room to write on each line. They’re for everyone who is looking for the widest weekly columns possible.

Here’s a sneak peek at one of the designs. We hope you like it.

The majority of the work is done, but there’s still testing to do, so the new layouts should be live sometime in June.

CHANGE YOUR MODEL (Without Starting Over)

By Max

On November 26, 2019

In Builder, General, Layouts

Everyone has been so happy with our new Change configuration option that we decided to double up the fun: You can now also change your model without starting over.

The button to change models is on the Builder Layout page, near the top left corner. We placed it on the layout page because, if you have a hybrid planner, such as a monthly-weekly, we need to know which one you want to change. So if you’re looking at your weekly layout and you click Change model, we’ll bring you to the weekly model page. If you’re looking at your monthly and click Change model, then you’ll be changing your monthly model.

change-model
When you land on the models page, you will see that we put your current model at the top of the list, in case you don’t remember which model you selected previously.

Once you select your new model, click customize just like you did originally, and we’ll bring you right back to the Builder.

You can change only one frequency at a time. Using the same example of a monthly-weekly planner, if you want to change both your monthly and your weekly, change one of them, come back to the Builder then change the other one.

Please note that if you change your model, we won’t transfer your customizations from your previous one, because the specifications for each model are often different, including number of labels, limits on numbers of characters in each label a well as the numbers of activities, events and holidays.

As always, let us know if you have any questions.

FUTURE MONTH PAGES

By Max

On August 31, 2019

In Builder, General, Layouts, Planning

At this time of year, some customers ask us about 16-month academic planners. We don’t offer them, in part because we find them a bit wasteful: The pages for months 13 to 16 don’t usually get used since they get replaced by the next planner that starts next August or September. We also have a different way to keep track of future appointments.

We offer “Future month” Extra pages. You can add these anywhere in your agendio, although the best spot is right after your calendared pages. They serve the same purpose as the pages for months 13 to 16, but in a leaner way, leading to a slimmer and lighter planner.

future-month

You can use them to write down your appointments and todos for any month after the end of your agendio and then transfer the contents to your next planner when the current one ends. Each page is divided to offer a separate line for each day of the future month, so it’s easy to see if, for example, a future doctor’s appointment date conflicts with another activity.

You can see examples of our Future month page and other Extra pages in our Features section at https://agendio.com/features#extra
