I don’t like paper. Except for my little folio, I don’t use paper. And, my Tablet PC notwithstanding, I can’t even read my own handwriting. But my wife likes paper and it’d fun to think of all the geeky ways I can get more paper into her life. OrganizedHome.com offers a bunch of printable planning forms, though they mostly seem to be fairly low-res JPEGs. The classic (and best) of the printable templates sites is D*I*Y Planner, and they provide options for US and European-full and half sized planners, as well as templates for the Hipster PDA. John Norris also makes templates for this format. But, if 3×5 note cards seems too much of an investment, ty PocketMod, a cute web application that allows you to lay out a foldable booklet. All these are neat, but my favorite was the Zipster I made a few months ago. Never used it, but it sure looks cool:
If all you need is letter-sized note paper, PDF Pad has you covered with graph paper, note paper, musical staffs, and more. There’s also lifehack.org’s version, and Simson Garfinkel has one as well (if needed, rename index.cgi to something with the PDF extension). Finally, for goofy or unusual templates, check out the graphc organizers section on the Houghton-Mifflin Education Place site.


Hey, I still have one…

Seems to be down right now – bummer. Or maybe it’s an IE7 problem…

I updated the entry to reflect that you may be asked to download a file called “index.cgi”. Just rename it to something w/ a PDF extension and you should be fine.
