Project Plan Pad

I love the "mini" format of this 1-page project planner pad. Fits easily into the larger zipper portfolio cover I use for work with Rhodia dotted full-size note tablets. It enables tracking project level objectives, tasks, status while sketching out the larger vision on the Rhodia dotted pads. Voila! A powerful little toolbox for people who think, write, draw, create on the move. Then I take a photo of the Project Planner 1-pager; and the sketches in Rhodia dotted tablet to store in my digital file system - either Apple Notes or Evernote for example. Searchable, available in the cloud, shareable with team members, clients, project partners, etc.

These are my go to note pads for tackling ADHD in the corporate world. I work in the design industry and love them for keeping track of lots of tasks and notes for new projects.

I like it. I know that it's a "Project Planner" but I've been using it as a "Projects/Things To Do" list. I like it’s size. It's small enough for portability but still does the job.

Tried several tracking systems. Especially liked the size of the sheet and hope they will consider offering the same format in letter size. Many projects have multiple steps to achieve goal.

This handy little pad really forced us to get our “stuff” together this winter when we were faced with more than a dozen tasks — that absolutely HAD to be done -- before a major ice storm combined with 30-40MPH winds on our rural homestead. After hearing the three day forecast we sat down with this pad, scribbled “Last Minute Ice/Wind Storm Prep” at the top as our “Goals/Objectives,” and began listing all the must-do challenges to be completed before the storm hit. Instead of assigning anyone to specific tasks, we did quite the opposite: the next day we split up into different sections of this property to work the list — then raced back to the house to check each completely task off while noting our initials in the “Who” column. It was a hectic three days of racing around, but this little notepad kept us focused throughout. We knew failing to take care of a single action item could result in damage to the house, injuries or even deaths for our farm animals, or just miserable experiences. Using this little pad turned everything into a nearly enjoyable “relay race” as we rushed to get everything done. Here’s what we finally checked off and initialed as “I did this and double-checked my work”: * Hang a 40 watt lightbulb in the well house outside * Stuff insulation into the basement windows * Tarp the wall outside over the basement windows * Fill all 24 water totes; park in the bathrooms plus by the back door * Charge up the Jackery power station to 100% * Call insurance agent, confirm full insurance is paid up * Bed down sheep barn with an extra four straw bales * Fill all indoor wood racks, plus outside wood racks at the top of the ramp * Clean and refill 55 gallon drum by poultry cabins; cover with insulation blankets * Cover all poultry units with additional (new) tarps * Hang quilts over all curtains and doors in the house * Disconnect SUV battery; lay cardboard over engine compartment under the hood We made it through the storm OK, and have now started planning a more complicated project (building a new house for our ducks) using this pad to guide us. It’s an excellent planning tool, although I would have liked it even better if the check-list section had been double-spaced to provide more room per action item, otherwise I’d certainly recommend this project pad to anyone faced with complicated or time-sensitive emergency situations.

Works great for quick projects. Wish it came in 8 1/2 x 11.

Good quality paper, sturdy backboard, and well designed.

Great framework for me to get organized on projects. Bring back the large daily planner, the 8X11 one. It’s large enough for me to see and write on. PLEASE!
