You can make your own calendar refills for your day planner notebook instead of purchasing the ready-made ones from office supply stores. The advantages of a custom calendar are that you can leave spaces for notes or phone numbers as needed; print in your favorite fonts; add inspirational quotes of your choice; and add whatever photographs, design or artwork that you wish. You'll need to spend some time initially setting up your file, but once you have the correct measurements and document margins set up, you can save your file as a template to use anytime you want. Custom calendars make nice gifts, too.
Print out one page of your calendar. Cut down your sheet size if needed, and punch holes in the page. Check to make sure that it fits in your planner. Make any adjustments to the file as needed and print out a revised copy of the calendar page.
Open a new document in Word or any other software that you are comfortable with. Design your calendar so that it will fit the refill page size. Allow enough margin space to accommodate where the holes will be punched. Alternatively, download a free calendar template from the Internet and customize it as needed.
Continue tweaking your document as needed until you are satisfied with the appearance and fit of the calendar. Save the file, and print out the entire calendar. Punch holes in the calendar and load it into your day planner notebook.
Measure your day planner or desk calendar to determine the size of the calendar refill you will need.
