Minimalist Planner

So far in college, I haven't used all of a commercial planner. There was just too much unneeded stuff and at the end of every semester I tossed away more unused paper then I could stand. This made me create "The Minimalist Planner." A simple, unique, customizable planner. The planner I made includes a change able cover page, some weekly schedules, a monthly calender, and a note page. The whole planner uses about 6 sheets of paper front and back. All you need to make this planner is: a computer, a printer (any kind will do), paper, and something to put it all in. For my purposes i'm using a report cover from "Dollar Tree." I've included a zip file with the pages I made and used. *Before anyone asks how i keep track of assignments and what not, I use a to do list. witch is a sheet of loose leaf paper that I stick in there with the words "TO DO" at the top, this gets tossed out every other week and rewrote with new stuff. I write what needs to be done as they come and the due date, then grade then A to D when it needs to be done. A being most urgent (say tomorrow), and D being least (say a couple weeks from now). *Small update I added the other covers that I made for this.*

First comment! Anyways, not a lot of people really like printing out stuff, so I guess the only part you really need to minimize to make it truly minimalist is to minimize the ink a bit. I guess that's up to the user though.

also I understand what you mean the cover and possibly the notes section is not really needed but i enjoy having it, but it would just be a calender. The main reason I made this was I hated having to toss out over 80% of a planner ever year. so I made it so every part can be used. if you want to you can reuse most part of the planner from year to year or semester to semester.

comparing to a regular planner you buy at a store, this minimizes on a lot already, paper and ink being the main things that where minimized. This planner only uses about 6 sheets of paper. the only thing that could be done to minimize it more but still have it be useful is if people just made comments on the pdf it's self to keep track of all there tests appointments and such. it must be just me but I like to have my appointments wrote down on paper.
