DIY 2025 Planner - Tutorial

0:00 hi friends I very tutoral on how we can create this dated daily planner for 2025 when you open it up you will see daily Pages for the entire year so I'll show you how you can create this daily planner on planify Pro with the date flags on top of here as well as the calendar below I'll show you how you can automatically duplicate it um for the entire year as well as how you can print it out and then assemble and put everything together bind the entire planner to then have a finished project like you see here so let's get started okay so go on to planify Pro best is to use it in Firefox in a new private mode window so it can run the best I also recommend you to use a computer instead

0:46 of an iPad or any other device because it will run the best the smoothest on your computer especially if you're creating such a big planner as we are doing now with over 300 pages so best is to use it from your computer Firefox works the best then once you're logged in you want to go and click on create a planner like this create a new planner then next you want to choose in what paper size um or what sizing you're making your planner now this planner right here is in the personal white size I can show you exactly how big it is personal white now the personal white size is 6.75 * 4.75 in in cm it's 17 cm high and 12 cm

1:38 long okay so these are the measurements so choose person wide size or any other size you want you can also make it in A5 half leather size or any other size you prefer choose your sizing right here you might want to double click on it please make sure that up here it says the correct sizing so here I'm making any personal white size and then next you want to have your very first page empty so let me quickly show you here this is the planner when we now open up the page this very first page which is empty right here this one right here is the very first page in in planify Pro this very first page right here if we now if

2:25 you now for example add in a pattern and set it to full then you will also see a pattern right here okay but best is to maybe leave it empty so let me quickly make it empty so I have removed the pattern by clicking here on none then we also don't want any witchet boxes in here so I will click here on edit layout and this will allow me to edit the widgets so I can click on the widgets I can add new ones or I can remove them so I want to remove them all remove them like this clicking on the blue button like this now next you want to add a second page and the second page is where the planner will start so we

3:12 open up the planner like this and you see here is January 1st and January 1st will be on the second page so here let's click on duplicate page second page right here is the first day so so we have pre-made templates which means you don't have to redesign the entire plan from start you can go up here to template starter on the right side you want to go and look for starter daily dated okay here are all kinds of dated daily planners you can apply these daily data planners all have a date flag and a

3:57 calendar on it so so the template I have used for this planner is um exactly this first template right here you can click on this very first template do not click on the planner itself click on skeleton okay because this template has been designed in the A5 size as you see here A5 if I now click on this template it will resize the entire template into A5 but we want to keep the personal white sizing so only click on skeleton like this and then if you like The Styling the font and the black color here you can also click here on style

4:43 and you also take over the style like you see here now I like how it looks like however there are a few things I would like to adjust first of all I want to change the font so let's go to the text menu H2 then here let's go to regular font and then here we can select a new font uh let me see maybe I will go with this font right here so feel free to to select any font of your liking and then something else I would like to do is also change the widget style if you now go to style you will see different kinds of stylings here on the right side and these are just a way to um show the widgets so either have

5:30 them with round the corners with a thinner line with a thicker line so feel free to play around with the styling and see what you prefer now I will go with the classic two style which is just a simple black line on the top and no frame around the widget of course you can also play with the colors let's say you go back to neutral and then select original style you can now now also play with the colors so if you go to color you will see these are the main colors black is the outline color of the widget the header color is gray so all all your headers here are in Gray colors and then you also have the line color if

6:16 you now change the outline to Blue it will make everything blue if you change the header color to Orange it will make it all orange if you change the line color to Green it will make it green on all the widgets so this is how you play with colors so let me cck quickly click on undo and let me go back and select a minimal style which is the classic 2 and I am happy with how it looks like now I want to have daily pages on the left and on the right side so let me copy paste the left side to the right side up here there is a button called left to right when you click there it will it will

7:02 copy paste you everything from the left to the right so let's do it there you go everything's from the left to the right now what is left is now to correct the dates now I want this planner to start on January 1st and you can also start it on January 1st 2025 or you can start it on any other day in the year so you can make the pl for 2026 2027 or any other date it doesn't have to start in January it can also start for example on April 5th or any other date so to change the date make sure edit layout is set to off and then you can click on this date flag doubleclick it this menu will show up and then here

7:49 in this menu you can go and select the correct date to start so let me go and select January 2025 Wednesday the 1st then next let's also click on this calendar right here and really make sure it's correct with a correct date or correct month so January and then the year has to be 2025 repeat the same on the other side on the right side here you want to have it set to January 2025 um the 2nd so one moment here let me find the month January 2025 Thursday the 2nd and then for the calendar let's also set it to

8:35 January 2025 like this now of course you can further customize the planner so for example if you want to change um the icons in the to-do list you can click on the to-do list here in the settings you can scroll down and you can select a new icon like this so this is something you play around with then you can also so replace these widgets you can also change the header name so if you want to type in for example priorities you can do that as well maybe if you want to change it to a to-do list you can go to to-do click on the list and then here you can reduce the amount of icons make them

9:21 smaller and you can also change the icon like this then also if you want to make the columns or rows bigger or smaller you want to click here on edit layouts edit two on this means you will see these fractions right here so you can click on them and make it smaller or make it bigger like this as well as these columns right here below it's similar like Lego like playing with Lego and then you can for example also add in additional columns so you can click on any widget and if you want to add in a box down here below click on the plus button this will add you a new row where you can click on this empty space and then you can add in another widget so one or two Widgets or you can extend

10:07 them then you can add in a different kind of widget whatever widget you like and further customize the layout this way so let me quickly go back reset this layout and then let me quickly uh set this one to off so I can click on the date flag and then set this one to January 1st now let's say you're happy with your layout you can then duplicate this layout for the entire year so let's do this so here at the bottom you have a button with three dots it's this one right here below you want to click on it this menu will show up and it will ask you how many times you want to duplicate it so let's duplicate

10:52 this page another um 180 times this will give you around 300 60 Pages because we have two days per one page so let's duplicate it 180 times so we should end at around December 25th something like this if you have a fast computer click to work faster so you can set it to 0.6 seconds this will duplicate the pages faster if you have um many items on your planner if you have a lot of stickers and patterns and so on you might want to duplicate it slower so has enough time to add all the elements on top of the planner before it goes onto the next page since this planner is very simple

11:38 we can just click and set it to 0.8 for example okay then once you have set everything click on duplicate and change date um 180 times so click on it and you see here it will now add you a new page plus if you look up here it will also change you the dates and it will also change the calendars for you okay it now has finished duplicating it I'm now in December 28th so I will now have to manually duplicate it to finish the entire year so I will now click here on duplicate change date this

12:25 button right here just uh once this will add me a new page duplicate it once and then let's click on it again okay so now we are December 31st 2025 and then on the next page it's January but we can leave it as is so once your plan is completed you should now have um around 184 Pages you can then go to save export uh export PDF all pages paper and then you now want to select on what paper you're printing if you're printing on A4 paper click A4 if you're printing out on us letter size paper click us letter size if you have precut personal

13:11 white size paper you can select the first option right here I have A4 paper so selecting A4 then next you will have to click on select rearrange the pages this is very important that you select this menu when you export then once selected you then want to click on batch generate PDF it will now make you a PDF file so you now want to click on download PDF now this is the PDF file this is how it looks like you will see all the dates are messed up so here is first here is 31st and January 2nd it's all mixed up but please do not worry everything will be fine when you cut it out and then put it together into one

13:58 then all the page will line up correctly so from here what you want to do is you want to go here to save the planner to your computer you can make a new folder called 2025 planner like this save it as inserts so save it to your computer then you want to open up this PDF file in Acrobat Reader so let me quickly show you open it up um right here and then you want to click on print you want to select um to print all pages um have it custom scale set to 100% And then make sure that all the other settings are correct but it's very important you select custom skill

14:45 100% um this will make it exactly the personal white size now you want to print this planner out front and back front and back um if you have a duplex printer you can select to print on both sides and you want to click to flip it on the short Edge so if your printer can print front and back duplex automatic have this menu selected if your printer cannot print duplex you want to select to print all odd Pages first so print all odd Pages then you want to flip the pages reinsert into the printer and then you want to print out all the even pages on the back side of it so print your planner front and back

15:33 and then once you have it printed you want to then cut it out now for the cover very quickly and easy to create the cover you want to go back to planify Pro and then click on create a planner then next you want to click on create a new planner then you want to go to the size menu and then make sure your correct size is selected so here for example the personal white size right here so half the sizing selected then next um if you see any witchet boxes right here you want to click on edit layout and you want to remove them like we did before with the inserts then here under pattern you want to go to pattern then fix color and you want to scroll down and choose

16:19 any pattern you like now for the cover on last time I have selected this pattern right here this one right here or I believe it might have been this one here and then you want to make sure that the pattern is displayed to full so here you can also select different kinds of Border style but to fully display it make sure it's set to full like this and then you can go to sticker mode up here you can click on sticker and then you can click on the right side of widget sticker mode means that you can freely move things around on the planner so you can add text widgets which can freely move around like this now click on the right side which is the front cover and

17:06 you want to add in a text widget like this you want to on the right side type in 20 and maybe Also let's change um the font click here on the AA icon and then you can change the font like this you can also click to auto fit like this and then maybe let's change the text color to uh maybe a dark red brown color like this maybe like this that might look nice then want to move um the text here now let's copy paste it drag it down and down here below let's click let's set it to 25 so now we have a 225 cover so make

17:55 sure it's somewhat set to the middle like this and one once you're happy with your cover you can then go to save export and then click on the personal white size here personal white click on generary PDF and this will make you now um a PDF file with two pages so let me quickly show you click on download PDF these are the two pages you now want to print out these two pages onto white glossy sticker paper for your cover so let's save this one to your um to your folder let's call it cover and I'll quickly show you how to print out this cover open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader and then click on print

18:40 right here you want to print out each individual page on white glossy sticker paper for the custom size make it a slightly bit bigger than the cover so we can wrap it so it can wrap the sticker around the cover so I recommend you to print out the sticker at around 100 20% like this this will make it a slightly bit bigger than your actual cover so print out both pages and now next we can move on to cutting and assembling the planner after you have printed out all the inserts you then want to move on to cutting the inserts like you see here I'm using a heavy duty paper cutter which you can purchase on Amazon then once you have cut out all the inserts

19:25 you can just combine the left and the right side together like you see here so you do not need to arrange any Pages anymore they should all align from January until December once you have completed this you then want to hold P sheet here I'm using a cinch binding machine you can use any binding machine you have available at home just make sure the holes are um positioned at the correct place when you are punching the inserts then you want to print out your cover design on white glossy sticker paper cut your chipboards down to the person wi side make it a tiny bit bigger than the inserts cut down the corners and fold in all the sides like you see here then next you also want to add a white sticker paper on the inside of the cover and then hole punch it then next

20:13 take some o wires and you want to clip down as many um rows as you need then insert all your inserts first add in the cover and then the back cover and then cinch it all together like you see here then lastly you can also add an elastic to your boundary this step is optional but once you have done that your planner is completed and that is how it should look like I hope this ataro was helpful if you have any questions feel free to always message me on Instagram or Facebook and I will try to respond to your questions as quickly as I can bye
