Daily planner cards: a one card a day log in 3x5 and 4x6

Daily planner cards turn your days into a simple diary, one card for each day: plan in the morning on the front, look back in the evening on the reverse, then file it in a box sized for 3 by 5 or 4 by 6 inch cards. The 29 undated pages give you the cards with crop marks, plus a card to summarize the week, a card listing every day of the month, small strips for gratitude, a list for someday, tabs numbered for each day and a divider for every month. You get US Letter and A4 PDF files to download right away; nothing is shipped.

Over the months, your card box quietly becomes a diary of your days.

How daily planner cards build a gentle routine

In the morning, circle the day of the week, choose three priorities, sketch a short schedule and task list, and mark your mood on five dots. At night, turn the same card over and note three things that went well, a lesson, something to release and how tomorrow begins. One card, one complete day.

On Sundays the weekly card gives each day a single line, and when the month ends its index card records all the days, so any card is easy to find again. Unlike the task focused Index Card Planner in the shop, this set is a journal and record of your days. Filed behind numbered tabs and monthly dividers, your box grows into something you can leaf back through.

Who will love them

• Anyone who wants a daily diary or log but feels a large journal page is too much to fill
• Index card fans looking for a calm one card a day habit alongside their task or habit cards
• People who enjoy looking back on what happened, how they felt and what went well
• Busy people on the move, since a small card fits a pocket, a bag or the space beside the keyboard

Design and card sizes

• Elegant and minimal: white pages with soft blush pink touches that use very little ink
• Wide margins, so a home printer will not cut anything off
• Exact trim sizes: 3 by 5 inches (7.6 by 12.7 cm), three on a sheet, and 4 by 6 inches (10.2 by 15.2 cm), two on a sheet, with crop marks, plus gratitude strips of 6 by 2 and 5 by 1.5 inches. Everything prints on US Letter (8.5 by 11 inches) or A4 (210 by 297 mm)
• Undated: start on any day, and no year ever appears on the date lines
• Print double sided with a long edge flip, and the evening back and the lined or dot grid backs match the fronts
