    Free Printables, Inspiration, Printable Goodies, Roundup

    Any time of year is a good time for making healthy changes and setting goals, but there’s something especially invigorating about a new year. It’s a blank slate — a chance to reach accomplishments and have experiences that weren’t possible in prior years! Today, I’m sharing all of TPK’s free productivity printables that will help…

    Free Illustrated Printable Weekly Planner | The Postman's Knock

    I’ve always loved making New Year’s resolutions. Even if not all of them end up happening, the act of giving myself the time and grace to think about how I want to improve is cathartic! That’s why a “productivity printable” — usually an artistic blank list — shows up here on the blog about once a year. Since it’s the beginning of a new year, there’s no better time than now to showcase all of these productivity printables in one article! Use them as you please to get yourself organized and centered.

    1. Bulletproof New Year Goals Worksheet

    Bulletproof New Year Goals Worksheet
    Of all the free productivity printables on the site, this one is my favorite. It gets down to business!

    This 4-page worksheet helps you make “bulletproof” goals by helping you come up with game plans. In the worksheet, you’ll work to identify your goals. Then, you’ll consider why you want to achieve those goals, and you’ll come up with quantities and milestones to work towards.

    DOWNLOAD THE BULLETPROOF GOALS WORKSHEET

    2. Botanical Goal List

    Printable Goal List with Botanical Border | The Postman's Knock
    Tip: if you want to apply watercolor to the border of this goal list, print it out on 80# drawing paper that’s been cut to fit inside your printer.

    Oftentimes, reaching goals is all about keeping them on display. This goal list makes that easy! Write your goals inside, then use your favorite medium to add a pop of color to the border. Then, put the goal list somewhere you can see it all year long.

    DOWNLOAD THE BOTANICAL GOAL LIST

    3. Flourished Goal Sheet

    Free Flourished Printable Goal Sheet | The Postman's Knock

    If you like an embellished look, this goals sheet is just your speed. Print it out, cut along the contours of the flourishes, and use a pretty calligraphy style to write out your goals for the year.

    DOWNLOAD THE FLOURISHED GOAL SHEET

    4. Printable Floral Goal List

    The Ultimate New Year’s Resolutions Guide + Printable Goal List | The Postman's Knock

    This goal list goes back to basics with a simple floral border. Use calligraphy or your everyday handwriting to fill the page with your goals, then find an 8″ x 10″ (20.3 cm x 25.4 cm) frame to display it in. Again, year-long display is one of the tricks to staying on top of achieving your goals!

    DOWNLOAD THE FLORAL GOAL LIST

    5. Ombre Watercolor Goal List

    Printable Goal List | The Postman's Knock

    The ombre watercolor goal list is the first that was ever posted on the TPK blog. It’s for the purist: nice and simple. Print it out, then write down your goals either on the blank or the lined version. As with other goal list concepts, I recommend displaying it all year long!

    DOWNLOAD THE OMBRE WATERCOLOR GOAL LIST

    6. Watercolor Weekly Planner

    (Free!) Gorgeous Printable Watercolor Weekly Planner

    This weekly planner — created using the watercolor calligraphy technique — can be used year-round to keep your to-do lists on track. Print off a bunch of copies, put them in a binder, and make to-do lists as you go!

    DOWNLOAD THE WATERCOLOR WEEKLY PLANNER

    7. Illustrated Plants Weekly Planner

    Free Illustrated Printable Weekly Planner | The Postman's Knock

    If you like a little bit more structure in your week, try out this plant-themed weekly planner! To use it, you’ll start off by writing your three goals for the week. Then, write in dates, and make checklists as the week progresses.

    DOWNLOAD THE ILLUSTRATED PLANTS WEEKLY PLANNER

    8. Lemons Printable Meal Planner

    Illustrated Printable Menu Planner | The Postman's Knock

    This meal planner channels bright Italian motifs! I love how it looks hanging on my refrigerator, neatly filled out and ready to help me navigate the week.

    DOWNLOAD THE LEMONS PRINTABLE MEAL PLANNER

    9. Weekly Menu Planner With Fork Illustration

    Printable Artistic Weekly Meal Planner | The Postman's Knock

    I don’t fill out meal plans as much as I’d like to — which is something I hope to change this year! With the help of a planner like this one, you can figure out what to make and exactly what to buy at the grocery store. Good for the budget and for peace of mind!

    DOWNLOAD THIS WEEKLY MEAL PLANNER


    If you’re feeling especially motivated to organize yourself for 2022, check out this article. In it, you’ll find some incredible bullet journal examples from Geni Brant, one of the most creatively organized people I’ve ever met! Last year, Geni and I worked together to make Creative and Collected: An Assortment of Lifestyle Worksheets. 

    Among many other thought-provoking worksheets, Creative and Collected includes a “Book Bucket List”.

    Creative and Collected was supposed to disappear from the Digital Catalog yesterday evening. However, I’m extending its availability — and the availability of two other planner products — given their relevance to this article. They will be available through Friday morning (January 7th). Find all of the last chance productivity printables in the TPK Catalog here.

    Here’s wishing you a happy, productive, and prosperous 2022! You deserve the best.

    Warmly,

    Happy New Year, Lindsey, and thank you for the free organizational planners!! Perhaps if I start the year with pretty planner pages, I’ll be more apt to look and do. Your organizational skills are always inspirational to me. To have these beautiful pages to use might very well be the catalyst I need!

✨I’ve been making these little calligraphy Chr ✨I’ve been making these little calligraphy Christmas trees for years. They’re a go-to whenever I need a quick gift tag, envelope flourish, or something festive that doesn’t require a whole afternoon.

They look fancy, but they’re really just simple strokes stacked in different patterns. Truly: once you get the rhythm down, you can make a tree in under 30 seconds. 🎄 

If you want to try them (there are six styles!), the tutorial is on the TPK Blog, and it’s called
“6 Simple Ways to Make a Calligraphy Christmas Tree.” Feel free to google it, or visit: thepostmansknock.com/6-simple-ways-to-make-a-calligraphy-christmas-tree/

It’s very beginner-friendly, video-based, and a great way to get some creativity in during a busy season. I hope you love it as much as I do. 💛

🎁 These printable gift tags are one of my favor 🎁 These printable gift tags are one of my favorite free printables on the TPK site. Just download, print, cut them out, and — if you want to — reinforce them with a bit of cardstock.

Inside the PDF you’ll find four designs: Festive Frida, Flourished Tree, Pine Boughs, and Merry & Bright. They’re all hand-drawn, and they make even the simplest wrapping look bespoke and artistic. 🎨 

Pro tip: If you’ve got a bit of extra time, add a pop of watercolor or some gold dots; and consider mounting the tag on a contrasting piece of cardstock for extra oomph.

They’re free to download at: thepostmansknock.com/free-super-cool-hand-drawn-printable-gift-tags/ (or visit the link in my stories today). Happy holidays!

There’s something extra fun about a card that do There’s something extra fun about a card that doesn’t just open … it comes to life. ✨ This little stand-up tree might look fancy, but it’s totally approachable — relaxing to make, satisfying to embellish, and (my favorite part) it folds up perfectly to pop in the mail. 💌🎄

If you’re looking for a holiday project that feels creative and doable, this is *such* a good one. The printable template does half the work for you, and you can customize the rest with flourishes, white ink, ornaments, or whatever feels festive to you.

The full step-by-step tutorial is waiting for you on the TPK website; just head to the link in my bio and tap “Blog.” I think you’ll have as much fun making this as I did. ❤️

Every November since 2016, I’ve looked forward t Every November since 2016, I’ve looked forward to sitting down with a cup of something warm ☕️ and sketching out ideas for the TPK holiday worksheet. This year was no exception, and I think you’ll be pleased with the motifs! They’re designed to bring calm, beauty, and (sneaky) pointed pen practice to your holiday season. 🎄Visit the TPK Blog (link in bio, then navigate to Blog) for details!
The other day, I was thinking about sending out ho The other day, I was thinking about sending out holiday cards, and I immediately dismissed the thought with, “I have zero time to calligraph envelopes for those.” ✍️

... But is that true? I put it to the test for the latest article on the TPK Blog. Using some time-saving tricks I’ve learned over the years (like using a watery ink, a bouncy calligraphy style, and minimal pencil guidelines), I timed myself making three envelope concepts. Two of them took 5 minutes or less. The most time-intensive took 5 minutes, 30 seconds. The envelopes still turned out looking elegant, especially with the help of some artistic postage stamp collages. 💌

For clear step-by-step tutorials detailing how to make these envelopes and sourcing pretty postage, visit the TPK Blog (link in bio, then navigate to “Blog”)!

After I chose this music to accompany this reel, i After I chose this music to accompany this reel, it dawned on me: drawing a calligraphy medallion is like, well, Belle’s arc with the Beast. 

At first, it’s a bit of a weird situation. Strange shapes, questionable structure, possibly some growling (à la “YOU WILL JOIN ME FOR DINNER. That’s not a request!”) when the inevitable ink smudge happens. You keep thinking, “I’m not sure why I’m doing this ... should I hop on Felipe and gallop away?” 🐎

But something shifts as the medallion starts to come to life. And when you finish that last detail and pull back, the music swells. Light bursts from your paper like it did from Beast’s digits as he transformed into a stunningly beautiful prince. ✨ You’re practically in a ballroom celebrating, and, wait, did your furniture just turn into an adoring crowd that’s celebrating your fortitude and skill?

(And now you know how my mind works 🧠 ... I love a good metaphor, no matter how weak it may be!) 

To learn how to make a calligraphy medallion, just search for “calligraphy medallion” on the TPK site (link in bio). You’ll find both free Blog tutorials and detailed premium worksheets.

... I’ll show myself out now. 🙈
