HOW TO USE IT

• Type it in: 27 of the 28 pages have fillable fields in clearly marked boxes (the contents page is links only). Open in the free Adobe Acrobat Reader, Chrome or Edge, click a box and type. Save as you go.
• Notes and memory boxes wrap onto new lines. If you type more than fits, the box scrolls, so keep notes short if you plan to print.
• Click a square to tick it. The When boxes on the day cards have a dropdown: pick a time of day or type your own.
• Tap a door on the cover, contents or plan page to jump to that day. Every page has a Contents button, and the bookmarks panel lists every section.
• Print it: print a Print copy at 100% or Actual Size.
• Apple Preview and some phone apps may resize typed text or hide dropdown lists. Adobe Acrobat Reader is recommended for typing.
