Everybody has really taken to highlights since we added them last year. Some of you use one color, but most planners show an assortment of highlight colours.
Since we added highlights, we’ve been asked if we can add more colours. So we’ve added orange to the mix.
Are you enjoying using highlights? Would you add a sixth colour? We think 5 is likely enough, but if you need more, let us know what you have in mind and why and we’ll see if we make more changes to highlights later this year.
We’re already December and many of you are still working on your new agendios. Time is getting very tight to get your new agendio delivered by or close to year end, considering that it takes us time to manufacture your planner
So we’ve added UPS as a shipping option for deliveries to the US and Canada. We offer three services, with the following estimated durations: Standard (2-5 days), Expedited (2-day shipping) and Saver (1-day shipping).
Please note that selecting UPS Expedited or Saver does not change the day your agendio is ready to ship, but it does provide for faster shipping once your planner has been manufactured. You can see the specific shipping and delivery estimates for your agendio on the checkout screen before you order.
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.
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.
It’s the time of year when agendios are being customized for 2023, so we have now added all months and all days in 2023 as possible start dates.
You can now make your 2023 agendio, starting on any day on 2023, or if you prefer, split your agendio into multiple thinner and lighter agendios, also starting on whatever days you choose.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Do you like to customize and purchase your agendios well in advance of the start date? If so, this is for you: We have added January 2022 as a start date.
In July we plan to add the other months of 2022 (and we’ll remove January to June 2021).
We now offer “End of monthly sequence” Extra pages.
If you select this option, we will place your end-of-monthly-sequence Extra pages (or EOM pages) after all the other pages for each month.
For example, if you select a “MMWW” (or monthly-weekly), and you add EOM pages, we will place your pages as follows: The first monthly, followed by all of that month’s weeklies, then your EOM Extra pages, then your next monthly, your next bunch of weeklies, your next EOM pages, and so on…
It will look like this:
And the configuration will look like this:
Notice that the end-of-sequence icons show a small right-facing arrow below the E, to show that they are not standard Extra pages.
You don’t have to include monthly pages in your configuration to use EOM Extra pages.
For instance, you might have a Weekly-only configuration, WW, but you would now like four pages at the end of each monthly sequence. Perhaps you’d like some note or summary pages but you don’t need them every week. You would create this sequence on the custom configuration page by choosing WW for your weeklies, then one set of EOM Extra pages, then another. Your final configuration would look like this:
And would create the following sequence of pages:
You can also mix standard and EOM pages in one configuration. You could select monthly pages, followed by standard Extra pages, then weeklies and then EOM pages. The resulting configuration would be:
and would create the following sequence of pages:
Please note that you can select EOM pages only on the Custom configuration selection page.
If you add EOM pages, and you’re not sure if your configuration was created correctly, you can look at the preview on the Builder review page. That’s actually something you should always do before ordering, to catch any errors in customizations you may not have noticed.
You can now add page numbers to your agendio, at the bottom of each page, centered.
