As each good planner has a place for a monthly calendar, weekly, and often daily planning pages, ListPlanIt has the pages you need to create your own planner. All you need is a binder (I love Mead’s Notebinder for its flexibility and Staples arc system for its ease of customization), a hole punch, and pages from ListPlanIt.com‘s Time Management section. You can create and customize your own planner for your own uses. The Month Ahead offers holidays*, special events*, and reminders to help you get and stay ahead of your business, home, and/or family life.
* holidays and special events are mainly those of the U.S. If you are from a different part of the world, feel free to note your holiday or special event below in the comments.

Reminders
- Start thinking how to make the most of the long holiday weekend in early October. Go leaf peeping or plan a camping trip. Enjoy family and friends.
- If you celebrate Halloween, start discussing costumes early so you can gather the materials you need to get it made or ordered in time to arrive before any celebrations.
- Begin thinking about Christmas gifts. Prepare a gift list and start to keep your eyes open for potential purchases.
