Hi NoteBookers.

The 2011 (8th Edition) of my ‘new and improved’ dayBook Template is now available for download. To obtain the link to download a copy please either email me at:

petert89#gmail.com [substitute @ for #] with

‘dayBook_2011-8th_Edition’

as the subject (without the quotes).

This is the fastest way, all emails sent to this address are forwarded to my MacBook, iPhone and iPad so I will see it in a timely mannner.

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.

I had to make a choice here, to be iOS compatible or not by using the latest version to build the template. As it was built with the latest version(s) of the CP NoteBook App this template will not open correctly under earlier versions of NoteBook under MacOS.

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

NB1: Although most emails are replied to within just a few hours please allow 24-36 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 2011 I successfully sent the link to 918 requestees

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 – 2011
• Conversion Charts
• Expenses / Budget Control – 2011
• Family Days – 2011 – - for birthdays, etc
• Health / Medical Notes – 2011 – - hopefully this will get little use by anyone
• Purchase Reminders – Books – 2011
• Purchase Reminders – Music – 2011
• Quotations & Thoughts of Worth
• Sources / Gift Ideas – 2011
• 2010, 2011 & 2012 Calendars

As well as some of the ‘note’ pages having now including explanatory Sticky Notes a number have starter tables (in native format this year) on them to make their use a bit easier.

2011 Tab
Has two full year calendars for 2011, one with standard month / dates (week starting on a Monday) and the other in Julian Days, i.e., days 1 – 365 for the year. These 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.

• Special Days / Events / Notes – Jan 2011
• 2011.01.01-Sat
• 2011.01.02-Sun
  etc., thru to
• 2011.01.31-Mon

Do This 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.

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

The Day Pages
In addition to listing the Title of each day page there are a few standard extras on each one. Immedately below the Title listing the date in the form YYYY.MM.DD-ddd there is a Julian Date for that day, followed by a divider, a Next Actions heading and another divider to separate the default items from whatever you might like to add to your dayBook.

Julian Days
In addition to the extra Julian Days Calendars mentioned above (see ‘2011 Tab’ note above) each day page includes a sub-heading, e.g., on page 165, ‘2010.05.01-Sun’, the sub heading reads ‘2011-W17-7 d121-244d’.

The first group of characters (2011-W17-7) indicate that ‘today’ is day 7 (sunday, monday being day 1) of week 17 in 2011. Further, the final group of characters (d121-244d) show that it is day 121 of the year with 244 days remaining in the year.

Clicking the Link Sticker beside this sub-title will return you to the date (day num) on the 2011 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 ‘121’ arriving at ‘166’, click on ‘166’ and you will travel to page 212 of the dayBook, ‘2011.06.15-Wed’.

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.

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

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 without notice by adding the source email to my Spam list so any further abusive emails will be deleted before I even see them.

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

Comcast Users:
I am consistently (for 3 plus years) unable to email to ‘comcast’ addresses, please use an alternative if you have one. If you don’t (have an alternative email) I regret I am unable to contact you.

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

Special Thanks
To Steve F for the Julian days inclusion suggestion back in 2009. IMO it is the best change / addition to this template in the last few years.
====================================

Word of Warning – UPGRADE to the Current Version of CP NoteBook.app
Please note that the minimum version required for this template is Release 3.0.1 (v3AA450). This or a later version must be installed on your Mac before you open this 2011 template. I suggest that you update to the latest version available here.

Opening it in earlier versions will permanently damage the template.
