Free Printable Planner Inserts for Franklin Covey/Filofax
This is a new category of post for me and one that I plan to continue to do if there is enough interest. About a year ago I began using a paper planner after discovering the planner community through Kristina from Pretty, Shiny, Sparkly.
I didn’t want to invest in an expensive binder right off the bat since I didn’t know if it was something I would continue to use. Instead I got this PlanAhead Organizer
It came with undated inserts and mine were going to run out in September. Sadly, that particular planner was discontinued and you can no longer buy refills for it. So I decided to design my own that were similar. They are super basic so that you can personalize them with washi tape and stickers however you’d like.
I prefer my layout to have a month on two pages, with week on two pages in between. Since there would be blank pages in between, I just created a simple lined and dotted sheet at the beginning and end of the month to scribble notes. Each set you print will be enough for an entire month.
These pages are 4.25″ x 6.75″ which is the correct size for a Franklin Covey Compact or the PlanAhead Planner I’m using. If you’re using a Filofax Personal you should be able to shrink the image to about 94% to get them the correct size. The file is set up so when you print 2 per page, back to back, they are in the right order. I’ve included screen shots of the print settings too.
I use Foxit Reader and I had to set my margins to a funny number. You just want to make sure the “zoom” is at 100% so they print the correct size (unless you need to shrink them to fit a Filofax personal, in which case set the zoom to approximately 94%).
Please let me know if you try these inserts and let me know if you’d be interested in seeing more planner posts!

Love these! Thank you. I am using them as a fitness/ mood/ and meal tracker for myself as I am trying to take better care of myself.

Hi! I was wondering if you knew how to do the print setup in a Mac. I can’t for the life of me get these at the right size/layout. Thank you!

Unfortunately, I haven’t used a Mac in many years! And I don’t have one available to test it out. Are you trying to print them for Filofax or Franklin Covey size? Are they coming out too big/small? Maybe I can try to troubleshoot with you. Also, sometimes it’s the printer itself that can cause issues. My old printer for example, always shrunk things down unless I fiddled with the settings and stopped it.

Hello, I just came across your site. This is great. I use a Compact Size Franklin Planner. Tell me, is there a Phone / Address Book that can be printed? Thanks for all to do!
