These are all half-size, 8.5 by 5.5 for use in a smaller planner like the arc /

On the Daily Habits template there’s room for 3 habits every month. Write your habit on the left and mark out the days you complete them. The other is the similar but just one habit per month.

Here are 366 circles, one for each day of the year – with and without the dates. (2020 is a leap year! Look for the non-leap-year download here.)

At a glance calendar for 2020 – an iteration of Dave Seah’s Compact Calendar. AND a 12-month overview.

AND I included a couple letter-size templates for tracking in a different format. See some examples of how I used them on this new years post from 2014?! Ha!

Then I just kept on loving that song, especially this classic Halloween performance:

Anyways, the next thing I know I’m dusting off the ol’ midi keys and re-remembering how to use Garage Band. Zach uploaded some files and I’d sing and add some keys or electro beats and upload and send it back. Postal Service style in the age of the cloud. Zach was so enthusiastic and supportive I just kept going song by song and by then, Zach had no choice but to let me in the band. Yay! ?

The new album is out now and available to stream on ALL THE THINGS. In January we had a live stream show on FB and you can watch that here!

I need to do a full proper post about this but look! I contributed two projects to The Planner Book and it was so fun. Check it out!

2. RBK ALBUM!

I contributed a whole bunch to this new album by Rushmore Beekeepers. Pre-order is available now and you can listen to two songs while you wait for the official release! [Read more about it on the RBK blog.]

3. ART!

It feels so long ago now, but I did another #the100dayproject on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/oh_amanda/! All one hundred art squares flowed together to create one large piece while scrolling through.

Who knows, lots of things comin’ down the pipeline. ? Hope to be back on here sooner rather than later next time. ❤️? ?

The post Three things! appeared first on Amanda Hawkins | Ahhh Design.

I put together two planners in the last couple of weeks – on the left was a gift for my RV traveling sister and brother-in-law. The right is my new 2017 planner! I hadn’t planned on buying a new notebook but I went to Staples to buy 1″ black rings and they were out… ended up falling for this creamy beige/gray Marth Stewart notebook. I love the fabric-like texture it has.

On the left is an at-a-glance calendar for 2017 – an iteration of Dave Seah’s Compact Calendar. If you haven’t, browse through his website – so much goodness. He has a really clean version you can download – or grab the one seen above here (5.5″ by 8.5″): 2017-compact-calendar.pdf (11640 downloads )

On the right are my monthly templates you can purchase for $12. They’ve been my favorite to use so far, although I do want to work on a month spread that will take up two pages. I really only use a month view – on paper and online. I live by my google calendar in month view (don’t tell my planner, ha!).

Another shot of monthly templates.

Daily Tasks

I’ve been looking for ways to simplify and be more productive while managing work, a household and two kiddos. Part of that is dividing things into 2 basic groups – things that I can accomplish with kids and things I can’t. To help with that I’ve been making a quick daily list and leaving it on the kitchen counter – they usually have 5 or less tasks that I’d like to accomplish for the day and include house, kid, work and general life stuff. They’re not pretty, just scribbled quickly as I think of things. I’ll have flexible lists planned out for 2-3 days in advanced so I don’t end up doing laundry/cleaning (kid friendly) on a day that would be better used for work (solo activities).

I’m not following the entire Bullet Journal system but I like the idea of rapid logging with bullets and signifiers (above left key by Shingo Omura). I’m excited about incorporating these into my daily lists. The rest of the notebook is just tabs and blank paper for notes and things. The end!

Happy planning! xoxo

I made a few travel templates inspired by my sister and brother-in-law traveling the US in an Airstream with their pups. How cool is that?! You can follow along on their adventures at fauxbold.space.


I put together a little discbound notebook to help plan their adventures. I used the clear ARC cover and 1″ rings to keep it really compact – they don’t have a lot of room. The notebook has 3 sections: 2017 months, travel templates, lined paper for notes and lists…

I picked up the gold band at Michaels for a super deal, so cool. Pretty sure it was ‘The Happy Planner’ brand – lots of awesome planner accessories if you haven’t checked it out yet. Be prepared to spend $$ and bring your coupons.

Travel templates! The left is a place tracker, to make notes before and after you visit. The right is a rough yearly overview of where you’d like to travel to. Downloads below.

Threw in some day and week templates from here.

AND printed the months from this template.. these are scaled down from the 8.5 by 11 version but are now available in 5.5 by 8.5 (Junior ARC size) – I would’ve used the new version but printer is out of ink, boo.

This book belongs to & info page:
The silliest templates included – they remind me of sweet diaries I had as a kid.

Daily Notes
Use the daily notes page while taking notes during meetings or planning out busy days.

Blank Month
I include the blank month in case you love these so much you use up all the pre-dated pages. Just circle the month and write in the days – voila! I don’t always use my planner and even ignore it for months at a time, gasp! It’s nice to have the un-dated templates so I can print out a bunch and only fill in the months I’m actually going to use.

TIME (detail)
For those of you that like to plan your days down to the minute, this is a cool way to see the overview of your week. Now that I’m up all hours with a baby again I think I need to make a 24-hour version!

TO DO
One productivity tip you ALWAYS hear is to make a to-do list at the start of the week or in the mornings with 2-3 must-do items. And for that you need a to-do list! I use these for projects and events too.

Happy planning!

Happy two thousand and sixteen!

It seems like EVERYONE is talking about daily habits these days, or, at least everyone I’m listening to (podcasts) or following on the internet.

– Tammie Bennett on Raise Your Hand. Say Yes. podcast.
– Tiny Daily Habits by Tammie Bennett
– Daily Drawing Challenge with Lisa Congdon
– Daily Making Jumpstart by Kim Werker
– Tiny Habits Method with BJ Fogg

I did #the100DaysProject last year and had so much fun – I shared all of my drawings on IG (@oh_amanda). It really does seem like the more art I make the more art I WANT to make.

This year I’ll be drawing/sketching/painting a face everyday and hoping to improve in the process. Very curious how it will all turn out in the end. So, how to track it?! There are plenty of phone apps and templates around…

– Streaks App
– Map Your Progress
– 2016 Goal Tracker by EliseJoy
– a million options on Pinterest

BUT I wanted something simple and a little messy to match my planner.

On the Daily Habits template there’s room for 3 habits every month. Write your habit on the left and mark out the days you complete them. The other is the similar but just one habit per month.

Below on the left are 366 circles, one for each day of the year. On the right are 12 empty boxes – one for each month.

And last!! I threw in a year at a glance calendar for 2016 – an iteration of Dave Seah’s Compact Calendar. I’ve used different versions of this for years now.
