Weekly planner template, columns, hours or day boxes.

A weekly planner is a single sheet that shows a whole week at once. This page makes one to your size, with the layout you choose and, if you want, the real dates already printed on the days. There are no logins, no templates to download and no software to open. You change a setting, the preview changes, and the PDF holds exactly what you see.

How to use it

1. Choose a Layout: Seven columns with lines, Hour by hour or Day boxes and a to-do box.
2. Tick or untick Top priorities strip and Notes box.
3. For the hour layout, set From hour and To hour, choose Every hour or Every half hour under Step, and pick a 12 hour or 24 hour Clock.
4. Set Week of to any date in the week you want. The planner moves back to the start of that week, which you choose with Week starts on. Use Weeks to print more than one.
5. Untick Include Saturday and Sunday for a Monday to Friday planner. Pick Colour and Paper, then press Save the PDF.

Which layout fits you

Seven columns with lines suits people who write short notes against each day: appointments, deadlines, meals. It is a landscape page, so each column is wide enough for a line of writing. Hour by hour suits a day with fixed blocks, such as classes, shifts or calls. Day boxes and a to-do box is a portrait page, closer to a notebook page, and its to-do box has tick squares.

How the hour grid is worked out

The number of rows is the span between the first and last hour divided by the step. From 7 to 20 with every hour gives 13 rows. The same span at every half hour gives 26 rows. The page height is shared between the rows, so more rows means shorter rows. If you want room to write, keep the span short or use hourly steps. A 12 hour clock prints times like 7 am and 1:30 pm, and a 24 hour clock prints 07:00 and 13:30.

Setting the dates

Type any date into Week of. If you pick Wednesday 5 November 2025 and the week starts on Monday, the planner starts on Monday 3 November, and every column shows its date. If the week starts on Sunday, it starts on 2 November. Leave Week of empty to print a blank planner you can reuse and write dates on yourself. With Weeks set to 4, you get four pages, one for each week in order.

Tips for a planner you will use

• Write the three things that matter most in the priorities strip first, then fill the days around them.
• Keep one copy at your desk and use the notes box for things that do not belong to a day.
• For a shared household, print one on A4 or Letter and put it where everyone passes.
• Choose black and white if you print many copies.

For tasks that repeat, pair this with a chore chart. For students, the has a subject row for every day. For the month view, use the printable calendar.
