FranklinPlanner In-Depth:

CALENDAR BASICS
Your Franklin Planner does more than just manage your hectic days. It also
features important sections for long-term planning. When you integrate
these sections with your daily or weekly pages, you unlock new potential
in your planner.

THE MASTER TASK LIST

Routine tasks are easy to remember. It's the infrequent tasks that you tend to
forget while driving home on autopilot.

The Master Task list lets you keep the big picture in mind, with columns for
infrequent personal and business tasks, such as oil changes, furnace filter
replacements, and quarterly employee reviews. As you plan each week, you
can refer to the Master Task List and fit these tasks into your schedule.

If you have space, you can also list out reminders for goal-based tasks in your
preferred order for daily reference.

DAILY TRACKER 1
If you need to keep track of monthly vehicle mileage, expenses for your business,
or even water intake or calories burned, your planner can help with that. At the
Jul

end of each day, you can record these amounts in the Daily Tracker section, both
the current day’s total and the running monthly total. When the time comes to 2
report to yourself or your superiors, you’ll have the figures at your fingertips.

MONTHLY INDEX
Your planner is a valuable record of your personal and business insights. At the end
of each month, read through your notes pages. You can then write important ideas
and information on the Monthly Index, located on the reverse side of each month’s
calendar tab.

You can transfer smaller pieces of information, such as phone numbers, web
addresses, or file locations, directly to the index. For parts that don’t transfer
as easily, such as diagrams or lengthy notes, simply reference the date.

There is also an index page before the first day of each month of your daily
pages. Filling out both indexes makes it easy to find the information you’re
looking for, even when stored in a Storage Case. One index page stays with
your monthly calendar tabs, while the other goes into the case when you
