The Magic of a Calendex
Before I dive into the 2024 Calendex, let's talk about why you need this in your life. As someone who thrives on structure and organization, I've found the Calendex to be a game-changer.
Year-at-a-Glance: With the 2024 Calendex, you can see your entire year in one place. Whether it's birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, or work-related deadlines, having it all in front of you helps prevent those last-minute surprises.
Effortless Reference: The beauty of the Calendex is that it acts as an index. You'll be able to quickly locate specific events or appointments by using a simple code. Say goodbye to endless flipping through pages to find that one note or date.
Flexible and Customizable: You're in control. You can use color-coding, symbols, or any method that suits your style to represent different events or tasks. Make it uniquely yours!
Downloading and Using Your 2024 Calendex
Now, here's the fun part - getting your hands on the 2024 Calendex. Scroll down to download your copy instantly. It's free, and there's no catch - just my way of giving back to the amazing community we have here!
Here are a few tips for how to use it:
Color Code Your Events: Grab your favorite pens, markers, or colored pencils and assign a unique color to each type of event. Whether it's work-related, family, personal, or craft projects, color coding will make your Calendex a breeze to navigate.
Create an Index: In the index section, jot down a brief description of the event or task and assign the corresponding code you've chosen. For example, birthdays might be coded with an orange dot, and work-related events might have a green dot.
Each member of your family can have a specific color or you can use one color for family-related events and use a number for the family member. For example, if family has a blue dot and the event is for one of your children, your code might be: 🔵3
Reference Your Calendex: Now, whenever you need to find a specific date or event, simply consult your index. Locate the code, and your Calendex will lead you right to it.

SUPPLIES I RECOMMEND FOR PRINTING
A PRINTER
If you’re going to be printing in color, I really recommend investing in an HP Instant Ink-compatible printer. The quality of the finished product is amazing! If you don’t need a color printer, I highly recommend a laser printer like the Brother L23 Series. You will save hundreds on ink. You can also get a color laser printer which I would LOVE to have!
PAPER
For everyday printables, planners, and coloring pages for the kiddos I normally use Hammermill Printer Paper, 20 Lb. I love that you can get a small box of 3 reams instead of having to buy one at a time or a whole case of 10.
If I want something a little nicer, I use this laser paper which is incredibly smooth and has very little to no ghosting on the other side. This is perfect if you like to use pens/markers that are prone to bleeding through to the other side.
For printing on A5 paper, I use this Blank 6-Hole Punched A5 Paper. You can also get it without the holes but it’s $6-7 more. Which I think is odd because it’s usually the other way around and you have to pay more for the hole punching.
If you're printing a binder cover that is fade-resistant and lasts a long time, I would recommend the best paper using Epson Presentation paper. It's heavy like cardstock (48 lb), is great when laminated, and is made to last for decades.
BINDING
When it comes to customizing your planner, the ARC binding system or other similar binders offer incredible flexibility and convenience.
With these systems, you can easily add, remove, or rearrange pages according to your changing needs, ensuring that your planner stays perfectly tailored to your lifestyle. Plus, you can unleash your creativity and design personalized covers or dividers, making it truly your own.
You can read more about Why I Love the ARC Binding System in this post.
Alternatively, if you prefer a professional touch, you can take your planner to a local printer like Staples, and they will expertly bind it for you.
