As each good planner has a place for a monthly calendar, weekly, and often daily planning pages, ListPlanIt would like to provide you with the pages you need to create your own planner. All you need is a binder (I prefer Mead’s Notebinder for its flexibility), 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. Catch each Friday at ListPlanIt‘s blog for a break down of the month and a look at The Week Ahead.
* 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.

Celebrate the first official day of spring with a picnic or barbecue outdoors. If you haven’t already, consider swapping out your family’s winter clothing for spring clothing.
Reminders
- Make plans for Spring Break
If you are taking a trip, complete your itinerary and finalize your reservations. If you are staying around home, consider yourself a Hometown Tourist (find everything you need to plan your travel and even a Hometown Tourist worksheet in Travel Planning) - Time for Spring Cleaning
Print or write your Spring Cleaning List (members will find a complete Spring Cleaning List in Home Management). - Prepare your Gardens and Yard
Don’t just stop with the inside of your home. Make a plan to spruce up your gardens and yard. Planting seeds indoors or outdoors after the last frost is an inexpensive way to add color to a yard. Growing herbs and veggies are a great way to save some money at the grocery store. (members to ListPlanIt.com will find garden planning pages in Home Management) - Easter is on the way (April 8)
Start shopping for your spring wardrobe. Begin your holiday meal planning (members will find event and holiday meal planning in Holidays & Occasions).
