After five years of publishing our linen planner at Target, I thought I would always be the person responsible for planning. Turns out, I’m not.
While we can’t produce a concrete plan for 2026 (costs, leadership changes, the usual suspects), I created a digital, printable blueprint for our long-time users. What I found: This format works best for the way I plan.
I don’t always fill up with planners. I have never. Some weeks, I need a detailed time block. Some weeks, I need one simple list. The printable planner format gives me permission to use the planner the way I need to, without the guilt of blank pages staring back at me. I can print a new weekly sheet when my planning goes wrong, which does that. In general.
This is a low-level, active program. There is no pressure to write neatly or to start the year “right.” Just the pages you need, when you need them.

- Daily pages for to-do lists, priorities, and time-blocking (brand new!)
- Meal and grocery planning pages (new addition!)
- Brain dump notes pages
How I Use My Printable Monthly, Weekly, and Daily Organization Planner
At the beginning of each month, I print out a monthly overview and outline what’s really going on—deadlines, trips, the rhythm of the coming weeks. This is where I set goals, not goals. I need to see a whole month before I can order parts.
This is a low-level, active program. There is no pressure to write neatly or to start the year “right.” Just the pages you need, when you need them.
For weekly planning, I print what I need based on the week ahead. A busy week with lots of moving parts gets weekly coverage and daily pages. A simple week might be a weekly overview and notes pages. I’ve given up trying to keep one perfect schedule. These sheets fit my life, not the other way around.
Our linen organizer has been at Target since 2020. This year, we couldn’t make it work. The cost of production, changing the material sold, everything. I I still want to create something for people to use year after year, and I’m really happy that this printable is where we came from. It fits my workflow better, and I think it might fit yours, too.
