Good questions
The answers, before you ask.
How the downloads work, what comes in each file, and the small print about refunds and privacy. If your question is not here, message me on Etsy.
Notion templates
What exactly do I get when I buy a Notion template?
You get a PDF with a duplicate link and click-by-click beginner steps. Open the link, click the duplicate icon, and the template copies into your own Notion workspace.
Do I need a paid Notion plan?
No. Every BusyBeeOrg Notion template works on the free Notion plan.
I have never used Notion. Is that okay?
Yes. The PDF walks you through opening the link, duplicating the template, and where to start. If you get stuck, message me on Etsy.
Can I edit the template after I duplicate it?
Yes. Tasks, categories, views, colors, properties, and sample rows are all yours to change.
Does it work on my phone or tablet?
Yes. Notion works on desktop, web, tablet, and phone. The dashboards are easiest to set up on a larger screen, then use from your phone.
Can I use the same template for more than one move or trip?
Yes. Duplicate the template and rename it for each move, deployment, or TDY. Add a new countdown row for every trip.
Printables
What sizes are included?
Every printable includes US Letter (8.5 x 11 in) and A4 (210 x 297 mm) PDFs in the same download.
How do I get the best print?
Print at 100% or actual size, not fit to page. Use the Letter file in the US and Canada, and the A4 file almost everywhere else.
Can I print at a copy shop?
Yes. Take the PDF to a print shop or upload it to a print service. The files are standard letter and A4.
Can I write on the printables on my tablet?
Yes. Import the PDF into a note-taking app on your tablet and write on the pages with a stylus.
How many pages are in each printable?
The PCS with Kids Printable Planner is 16 pages. The Spice & Shadows Printable Reading Journal is 10 pages.
Can I print the pages more than once?
Yes. Print as many copies as your household needs for personal use. Please do not resell or share the files.
Orders, downloads, and refunds
Where do I download my files?
After checkout, your files are available from your Etsy Purchases page. Etsy also emails a download link. Nothing physical ships.
Do you offer refunds?
Because these are digital items, refunds are not offered. If a file or link gives you trouble, message me on Etsy and I will make it right.
Can I share the template or printable with a friend?
No. Every product is for personal use only. Please do not resell, share, or distribute the files or the duplicate link.
Can I sell something I make with the template?
No. The templates and printables are for your own personal planning, not for resale or client work.
How do I contact you?
The fastest way is a message through my Etsy shop. I read every one and usually reply within a day or two.
Military family notes
Is BusyBeeOrg an official military resource?
No. BusyBeeOrg is an independent small shop. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Department of Defense, any branch of the military, or the American Red Cross. Always follow official guidance from your unit and base offices.
Do I need to share my rank, unit, or location?
Never. I do not ask for it, and the planners do not need it. Keep your own copies private too.
How should I handle OPSEC in the planners?
Do not post departure or return dates, locations, or unit movements publicly. Inside the template, write where passwords and documents live instead of storing the passwords, SSNs, or full DoD ID numbers themselves.
Will the Deployment planner work for a TDY?
Yes. It covers both deployments and TDYs, and the TDY Checklist tab gives you the shorter version in one click.
Still stuck?
Ask me anything.
I would rather answer a question before you buy than have you guessing.
