DIY Horizontal Desk Planner

Horizontal Desk Planner – Your Week at a Glance

This is a simple and smart way to plan your day. With this horizontal desk planner, you can see your whole week in one view. No more flipping through pages—everything stays right in front of you.

It’s great if you spend time at your desk—working, studying, or planning. You can check your schedule, list tasks, and write reminders without moving far from your workspace.

In this tutorial, you’ll use plain paper and a printable template from Planify Pro. All you need are scissors, glue or tape, and a ruler. You’ll fold and glue the sheets into a flat, wide layout that spreads out across your desk. It’s easy to read, easy to use, and a great way to stay organized every day.

The planner is flexible—you can add boxes for notes, to-dos, or habit tracking. You can also make it extra sturdy by adding a thicker paper as the base. The best part is that it lays flat on your desk and helps you keep your week right where you can see it.
