My old planner was a PDF I filled in once in September and never opened again. It was too big to use on a Tuesday, and by November the whole thing was a bookmark I was pretending was a plan. So this one is built the other way round: small enough to use in two minutes, and split into a day, a week, and a month so you only ever look at the part that is in front of you.
Fill it in here, or print it and write on it. Both work, and the printed version keeps everything you typed, because every box on this page is a real form field rather than a picture of one. No account, no login, nothing on a server. There is a study hours calculator here too if you want to work out how much time a subject deserves before you plan it, and a weekly study planner if you only want the week and not the month.
One planner for the whole term, and it works the second you open it. Fill in today’s three subjects, tick what you actually did, drop a line in the reflection box, then keep going into the week and the month. Nothing to sign up for, nothing stored on a server, and it prints as-is with what you typed still in the boxes. The daily checklist, the weekly goals, the habit grid, and the exam tracker are all in the one page because a planner that splits across three tabs is a planner you stop opening.
Print and Save as PDF both open your browser’s own print dialogue with what you typed still in the boxes. Pick “Save as PDF” there if you want a file instead of paper.
Prefer the one-page landscape version?
That is a separate, blank, fillable PDF — an hourly Monday-to-Sunday grid, a 7-day habit tracker, notes, and a weekly reflection. Open it in Edge, Chrome, or Acrobat and you can type straight into it, so you do not have to print a single sheet. It is a different layout from the planner on this page, so use one or the other.

Monthly planner
Five focus lines, your exam dates, and the four questions worth answering once a month.
Exam tracker
Off by default. If you tick it, your answers and tick marks are kept in this browser’s local storage so the page is still filled in when you come back. Nothing goes to a server, and Clear deletes it.
What is actually on the page
Daily. A date, one top priority, then three subjects with a topic, a time, and a note to yourself for each. A revision slot that expects 30 to 60 minutes, a total, five daily checkboxes (textbook, practice questions, flashcards, past paper, review notes), and a reflection box asking what you actually learned today.
Weekly. Seven day columns, four goals with tick boxes, and a habit grid: study, revision, exercise, and seven hours of sleep, across Monday to Sunday.
Monthly. Five focus lines, one per week. An exam tracker with three assessment rows for name, date, and priority. Then four reflection questions: biggest achievement, weakest subject, total study hours, and next month’s target.
That is the whole tool. It is long on the page and short to use, which is the point.
Why the counters matter more than the boxes
Every time you type in the three time fields, this page adds them up. Type 45m, 1h, and 30m and the total writes itself into “total study time today”. It counts your checklist ticks, your weekly goals, and each habit row separately, so you can see at a glance that you planned seven days and filled in two.
That gap between planned and done is the only number in a planner that changes behaviour. Most students do not need more hours scheduled. They need to see the difference between what they wrote on Sunday and what they actually did.
How to use it without ruining it
Sunday takes five minutes. Fill the seven day columns and the four goals. Rough is fine. “Cell bio reading” beats an empty box, and you can add the times later.
Monday morning takes two. Confirm the top priority. That single line is what you do first when something goes wrong and the rest of the day collapses.
Friday takes two. Tick the habit grid honestly, not aspirationally. It is the only habit tracker worth keeping.
Last day of the month takes ten. Answer the four reflection questions. Write the weakest subject straight into next month’s focus lines, and take that material to the quiz generator or the notes builder.
Do not fill the whole month in one sitting. A planner written in one burst for a month is a fantasy, and the difference shows up in week three.
Printing it
Press Print Planner and the page prints as a paper planner with your answers in the boxes. The day columns drop to a four-across grid so they fit on a page, the habit grid stays a table, and the checkboxes show as real boxes you can tick with a pen. For a file instead of paper, press Save as PDF and choose “Save as PDF” as the destination in the print dialogue. There is no separate PDF generator hiding behind a paywall, because the browser already does this well.
If you would rather have the one-page landscape planner as its own file, use the Download the blank fillable planner (PDF) button further up the page. That one is a proper fillable PDF, so you can type into it directly in Edge, Chrome, or Acrobat without printing anything. It is a different layout — an hourly Monday-to-Sunday grid rather than the day columns on this page — so pick whichever you actually want to write on, rather than expecting the filled-in page to turn into that file.
Download .txt gives you the whole thing as plain text: every day, every tick, every reflection, in a layout you can paste into Notes, a group chat, or an email to yourself. It is the one to use if you study on a different device from the one you plan on.
Honest limits
This does not know your deadlines, so the exam tracker is empty until you fill it. It cannot reschedule anything for you, and it will not remind you about a box you left blank. And the monthly total it estimates is extrapolated from one day’s times, so treat it as a rough shape rather than a measurement — which is why the field says so when it fills itself in.
There is no account, so there is no sync. The remember checkbox keeps your answers in this browser only, off by default, and Clear deletes them. If you want your plan on two devices, print it or download the .txt.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to sign up?
No. No account, no email, no password. Open the page, type, print, close the tab.
What time format do the time boxes take?
Whatever you would say out loud: 45m, 1h, 1h30, or a plain 90 for minutes. The page adds them up and writes the total into the daily field for you. If a field is not readable it says so instead of guessing.
Can I use this on my phone?
Yes. The seven day columns become a two-column grid on a narrow screen, the habit grid stays tappable, and the reflection box is a normal textarea, which is the real test of whether a planner works on a phone.
How is this different from the weekly study planner?
The weekly study planner maps study blocks across seven days and targets total hours. This one is the day-to-week-to-month version with a checklist, a habit grid, an exam tracker, and reflection questions. If you only plan a week, use the other one. If your problem is that you never know what today was for, use this.
Is anything stored?
Only if you tick “remember what I type in this browser”, and then only in this browser’s local storage. Nothing is sent to a server. Clear deletes it, and unticking the box stops it.
Does it send my notes to an AI?
No. The planner never calls anything external. The quiz generator and the notes builder each have an optional AI mode that you have to switch on yourself, and this planner has no such option because it does not need one.
One last thing
Write the top priority before you write anything else. Not the schedule, not the hours — the one thing. A day with a clear first task and nothing else planned beats a fully scheduled day whose first task is ambiguous, and that is true every single time.
