The Kept Year

How to build your Kept Year planner

Every step of the builder, what each choice means, and what it costs today.

Step 1 · Your rhythm

How far ahead do you want to see?

Choose your size (Letter or Carry) and how many months one book covers. Start in any month you like. A year does not have to begin in January.

A shorter book is followed by the next one, so a year can be one book or several.

One book, with its cover, binding and a tab for every month. Plus tax.

Step 2 · Your system

How do you want to see a week?

How your week is laid out. Everything else fits around this.

Vertical
Three days a page, in columns, with room to write beside them.
Horizontal
The week in bands: one day per band, straight across.
Centered
Each day a card, its date centred over the writing.
Dashboard
The week on the left, room to write about it on the right.
Focus
One thing per week, one thing per day.
Hourly
A real time rail, six in the morning to eleven at night.
Big dates
The numeral is the point: one tall cell a day, one event box beneath.
Memory
Seven frames for the photographs, and rules to say what they were.
Systems
The week as routines, not appointments.
Project week
A week built around what they are making, not what time it is.
Subject
The week by subject, with a box for every learner.
Step 3 · Your study

Your faith is yours.

Optional. A study plan printed into the book, or none at all.

Come Follow Me
The Latter-day Saint home study for this year, printed month by month, with the family council beside it. Printed through December 26, 2027, as far as it is published.
The Old Testament
Genesis to Malachi in a year, a week’s reading at a time, from whatever week you begin.
The New Testament
Matthew to Revelation in a year. A few chapters a week, room to linger.
Your own
The structure without the schedule. Your study, your pace, and a thought for each week.
Step 4 · What to add

What else should your book hold?

The planner is in: the year, every month, every week, and a tab on each month. Add the sections you'll use. Each one says what it adds to your book and your price.

You
Life audit, Goals for the year, All about me, Favorite things
Your holidays
Thanksgiving, Christmas
Your home
Home management plan, Family plan, Appointments, Accounts and contacts, Health, Home-centered learning
Your money
Budget, Debt and tithing, Provident living
Your people
Ministering, Together forever, Gifts, Gift pages, Birthdays and anniversaries, It’s the little things
Your trips

Step 5 · Your book in order

The book, front to back.

Here's how your book is arranged. We've put everything where it works best. If something should live elsewhere, drag it there.

Step 6 · Make it yours

Make it yours.

Choose your cover, your tabs and your binding, and add the name your cover prints. You can add an email and phone, a dedication, and the day your weeks start on.

Covers, tabs and bindings

Seasons & Shelter (Softcover) Softcover, printed with the book. Your name on the front, set in Garamond, over the theme's paintings.

Step 7 · Your dates

Anything happening this year?

Add the birthdays, anniversaries, vacations, appointments and events in the months your book covers. These print right on your pages, never a sheet or a dollar more.

Step 8 · Your proof

Every page, before you buy.

Before you buy, we build your book and show you every spread, exactly as it will print. Approve it, then choose what happens after the last page.

If it arrives and it isn't right, we make it right: tell us within thirty days and we reprint it free.
