Hi NoteBookers.

The 2010 (7th Edition) of my dayBook Template is now available for download. To obtain the link to download a copy please either email me at:

pettri#ozemail.com.au [substitute @ for #] with

‘dayBook_2010-7th_Edition’

as the subject (without the quotes).

This is the fastest way, I check this account at least twice a day.

OR

Leave a message in this thread, which I will get a notification of – PLEASE remember to include your email address, either directly in the request [preferable] or at least in your profile.

IMPORTANT: No email address – no template.

============

NB1: Although most emails are replied to within just a few hours please allow 36 hours before you think you might have been missed as sometimes I have to (pretend) to work so I get paid each month.

I do however ask that you keep the URL to yourself – one of the rewards I get from distributing the template is knowing with a reasonable amount of certainty how many copies have been distributed.

Trivia: For 2010 it was 775 successful transfers up until 2009.12.18-Fri AEDT

NB2: Some replies have bounced – see note at end of this spiel

====================================

What is this Template?
For those of you new to my template here is an outline of what it is.

It is a NoteBook document set up as you would pretty much expect a ‘Day to a Page’ Diary. The NoteBook has 13 main custom (tab) sections pre-set. One of these custom sections, ‘Notes +’, contains approximately 30 additional (non ‘day’) pages, such as:

• Intro Notes – - a somewhat extended summary of the Template contents
• FAQs – - some answers to commonly asked questions on the Template
• Links – - some useful / suggested URLs (working as at 2009.12.22-Tue AEDT)
• Software I prefer not to go without
• Books / Articles of Note I Have Read – 2010
• Conversion Charts
• Expenses / Budget Control – 2010
• Family Days – 2010 – - for birthdays, etc
• Health / Medical Notes – 2010 – - hopefully this will get little use by anyone
• Purchase Reminders – Books – 2010
• Purchase Reminders – Music – 2010
• Quotations & Thoughts of Worth
• Sources / Gift Ideas – 2010
• 2009, 2010 & 2011 Calendars

Several of the pages have starter (inline) tables on them to make their use a bit easier.

2010 Tab
Has two full year calendars for 2010, one with standard month / dates (week starting on a Monday) and the other in Julian Days, i.e., days 1 – 365 for the year. Both of these are new formats for this year and include week numbers according to ISO 8601.

In addition each date in both calendars comes with Hyperlinks (all 730 of them) set to the related page in the dayBook.

Month Tabs
There are 12 ‘month’ tabs / sections with each containing the following pages (Jan 2010 example):

• Special Days / Events / Notes – Jan 2010
• 2010.01.01-Fri
• 2010.01.02-Sat
  etc., thru to
• 2010.01.31-Sun

Next Actions Tab
This is actually a renamed Tab on the in-built ‘To Do Items Index’ page of the NoteBook.

’Next Action’ items (ie., those cells with a Checkbox) are automatically listed on this page.

============

New this Year
In addition to the extra Julian Days Calendars mentioned above (see 2010 Tab) each day page now includes a new sub-heading, e.g., on page 165, ‘2010.05.09-Sun’, the sub heading reads’2010-W18-7 d129-236d’.

The first group of characters indicate that ‘today’ is day 7 (sunday, monday being day 1) of week 18 in 2010. Further, the final group of characters show that it is day 129 of the year with 236 days remaining in the year.

Clicking the URL Sticker beside this sub-title will return you to the date (day num) on the 2010 Julian Days Calendar. From this point it is relatively easy to add or subtract x days and click on that ‘day number’ to jump to the related day page in the body of the template.

i.e., on the Julian Day Calender add 45 days to ‘129’ arriving at ‘174’, click on ‘174’ and you will travel to page 217 of the dayBook, ‘2010.06.23-Wed’.

Not So New – Next Actions
Each day page also contains the ‘Next Actions’ section just below the days sub-title. See the ‘Intro Notes’ section in the template on the use of this section.

====================================

ReadMe – Failed Sends
EVERY person that sends me an email or requests the d/l URL via this Forum gets a personal reply (attempt) from me without fail. If you don’t hear from me within approx 36 hours then:

1. I didn’t get your request OR
2. You didn’t supply an email address OR
3. My send to you bounced

Don’t bother sending me abusive eMails about how I ignore your continued requests or take hours to respond – I am in a different time zone (the future) to most of my ‘customers’ so am often asleep when you are awake.

A simple follow-up [polite] request [after approx 36 hours] noting that I may have overlooked your initial request will more likely result in my re-attempting to get you the link. I WANT to help you to get my template.

Any and all senders of abusive emails have been and will continue to be instantly and permanently blacklisted by adding the source eamil to my Spam list and thus will be deleted before I even see the additional abuse.

============

NB: I am unable to email to ‘comcast’ addresses, please use an alternative if you have one.

Special Thanks: 2009.12.22-Tue 03:14 (AEDT)

To Steve F for the Julian days suggestion. IMO it is the best change / addition in this years Template.
