chirmer said:I didn't, but I'm happy to share. So here's a link to download them (click me!). They're sized for the Junior ARC notebook (5.5"x8.5", or half of a standard 8.5"x11" sheet of paper). I put the month in the top blank spot and the day number on the line next to each day of the week. I box off meetings and scheduled events in the planner portion at the top, and use the lines below each day for scheduled tasks & noting deadlines. Our hours are 8-8 Mon-Sat, which is why those are the hours listed and there's no Sunday. I'm happy to make any small changes if someone wants them.
Here's a page of it in use, too, for the visual learners among us: Image click here

I make no claim that the system is "GTD-compliant" (for those to whom that matters), but it struck me as an excellent starting point for those who want to use a paper-based system.

JonathanWoodruff, TesTeq, and TMac:
You flatter me! I'm happy the pages can help, whether they're downloaded and used or inspiration to be used elsewhere. I have used Trello/Google Calendar myself for years, as well as other apps, but I don't always have a computer accessible during meetings and it's very frowned upon to use one's phone. So I'm experimenting with paper and I've used roughly this setup for a month now (with a few little tweaks, like removing Sundays for more space). I highly recommend the ARC (or Levenger Circa) system if you want to print your own pages - it's incredibly versatile. I keep a rolling half-year in my planner (when a month ends, I remove it and add another onto the end of the planner).
Apologies! Dunno what happened to the link. Here you go - and I've updated my old post as wellCould you please repost links? I cannot seem to get them to connect.

Apologies! In the years since this post I've not only dumped Dropbox, but also completely changed computers (and OSes). I believe I still have the file somewhere... I'll check this evening and upload them if I find themChirmer, JonathanWoodruff, TesTeq, TMac and Larstein:

So, I know this post is old, but just curious, @chirmer , what computer and OS you changed to? Still using Trello?Apologies!

Oh boy I'm super late on this one I think I may know where the file is, so when I'm home I'll check there. For now, I've found photos of the pages in use. This is what the layout looked like:Yes please. I’m looking forward to your favourable reply
