Please Note. This thread no longer monitored by author as of 2011.01.15-Sat.

Please see DayBook 2011 8th Edition

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

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.

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?

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:

I didn’t get your request OR
You didn’t supply an email address OR
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 without notice by adding the source email to my Spam list so any further abusive emails will be deleted before I even see them.

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

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.
====================================

Send Fails – Bounces – to date – 20100108-1112 AEDT
2010.01.08 – brian@comcast… – ALL comcast addresses bounce
2009.12.31 – jj@skyline… – skyline will not accept emails from outside US - ???

The above names are deliberately not complete – if you asked and did not receive you should be able to recognise your email. Feel free to ask again using a different email address.

Hi Pete…two things…thanks very much for the new agenda…

and I was wondering…I tried to change the text font after the ‘Next Action’s section so when I type in new text in paragraph form it isn’t bold like ‘Next Actions’, I’m leaving it trebuchet 11pt but want it ‘regular’ for weight.

I succeed in doing this, but I guess how i’m doin’ it I’m screwing up the formatting elsewhere, like the calendar pages for 2010/2011…it changes the text there too…

So, is there an easy way to do this without reeking havoc throughout my agenda?

thanks

Morris

Momo,

I’m guessing you’re applying the change to ‘All Note Pages’,

Try applying the change to ‘All Note Pages within this section’. That should only make the change for the Month that you are in.

If that doesn’t work feel free to email me direct and I’ll see what we can work out for you.

Excellent…that’s perfect for what I’d like…thanks…oh, and great holidays to you and yours Pete…health and joy in the new year…

would peace on earth be too much to ask for as well?...cause i’m asking…

Hi,

Every page appears to be in “paragraph” mode. How do I turn that off globally?

The setting in Preferences is set to “Ends editing of that cell” but it appears to be overridden by the local setting of the page itself.

Regards,

Rob…

Hi, Petert…I was wondering if there was going to be a 2011 version of your fabulous daybook…i’m kinda of afraid no because usually by now you’ve got at least a first version up for us…

hope i’m wrong about that cause i’d really miss not having it for the year, I’ve really gotten used to your template…

anyway…hope you’re doing fine…joy and health to you in the new year Peter…

Hi Momo,

have not been 100% for a couple of weeks so am behind schedule – I only have the links to set now (all 730 of them) so another day or two should see it released.

Momo commented

Momo — Tue, 28 Dec 2010 13:22:09 +0000

Hi Peter…great to know your gtd is coming…not so good that you aren’t feeling well…hope it was only a cold…

I started looking at your template for 2010 this morning, about updating your template for myself…holy cow, it would be a ton of work, even with all your ‘base’ work say for months and days already in place…I was thinking if you decided to stop doing this i’d at least do the complete days of the year…that would be a minimum for me…keep me somewhat organized…

anyway…kind regards…
