How the A5 life admin planner brings order to paperwork
Kick off with a two page reset across six areas of life. Then give accounts, bills and subscriptions a page each, so nothing renews or runs out without warning. The renewals calendar fits the whole year on two pages, and the important dates page holds deadlines such as open enrollment, the end of a lease or a warranty.
A documents map shows which drawer or folder holds the passport, the car title or the lease, and the in case of page lets a trusted person take over if you are ill or away. A monthly admin hour with a tracker for the year, an inbox page and a waiting on log keep things moving. Every page notes where things live, never the passwords or account numbers themselves.
Who it is for
- Planner users with an A5 six ring, a half letter ring binder or a junior disc system who want paperwork kept beside their plans

Design and sizes
- Clean and elegant: white pages with soft blush pink accents that need very little ink
- Ample margins, so a home printer keeps everything on the page
- Portrait pages in A5 (148 by 210 mm) and Half Letter (5.5 by 8.5 inches), with print-and-cut sheets for plain A4 or Letter paper
- Undated, so you can start in any month and use it again every year
- Mirrored margins: odd pages bind on the left with 14 mm, even pages on the right, and the outer edge has 8 mm
- Lines at least 6.5 mm apart and text never under 8.5 pt, comfortable on a small page
- Print-and-cut sheets carry a dashed line through the middle and small ticks, so one cut makes two pages
- Works in rings, on a clipboard or coil bound at a copy shop
