It’s simpler, more compact, and reusable from year-to-year in a way that no other calendar is. Here’s both how it works and how to use it.
How do you write appointments on it?
Just stop leaving your home, easy
OK I’m interested
I think it would work well as an app/website calendar but it wouldn’t work as a paper calendar without extra sheets which would defeat the purpose of it.
Is this a meme? I clicked on it and it took me to an article to seemed completely serious. Is this like the onion for white collar workers?
Imagine having to write that many words about this.
The article is a textbook example on how to overcomplicate things. It’s almost like it was in school when you were done with your answer after a few sentences but the teacher demanded at least one written page.
That’s almost word for word what I just posted!
I was sort of getting it until I noticed the months are all jumbled up too, they’re not in any coherent order or anything. What a mess. It’s so over engineered it actually makes me just a tad bit angry.
I know. The picture of the calendar is entirely self-explanatory yet they wrote a thousand words explaining it.
Thanks, I hate it. It lacks safety features for tough days where mental processes are not your friend.
That ridiculous calendar. To much effort to figure out dates and what about holidays and how do you mark out events on that?
I kinda hate it but they’re talking specifically about a different purpose of a calendar.
Most of us need to refer to a calendar quite frequently to know what calendar date (day, month, year) corresponds to which day of the week. But rather than having to change your calendar every month, this one-page calendar works for the entire year to give you all the information you need, practically immediately.
This is surprisingly useful to me. I frequently need to know the dates of upcoming Sundays when making agendas and having this printed next to my desk would save me from going back and forth with a traditional calendar.
February 31st is a Friday. It’s foolproof.
The “simpler” version takes up more space, as evident on that page already.
If you rescale it to the same font size, it doesn’t.
Interesting, thanks
Even better, learn how to easily calculate the weekday yourself.
That was ridiculously complicated. What I did is memorize the month columns in Dr. Siegel’s universal calendar. Now I can figure out any calendar day in my head. I plan to amaze my friends with this new skill.
Appointments were already mentioned, but what about holidays - the days most of us get off work? A simple solution wold be to write them next to the calendar, but it’s a bit less than an elegant solution.
I’m not learning a new calendar untill US implements the metric system
Huge article, but no mention of where we can download high-res pics
Direct link or you can make your own in your favorite spreadsheet program. It’s not that complicated.
Article aside, I love the calendar and started using it immediately. I do quite often need to know what day of the week a sepecific date is, and usually navigated the frustrating Win11 calendar from the taskbar. This is now on my bookmarks toolbar, so I have future answers a click away.
This is the kind of thing some company prints on a piece of plastic the size of a credit card, someone sticks it in their wallet then they forget about it for a decade. 😂
I got it in my wallet. And I’m going to pull it out every time I am filling out a form and need to sign and date it.
What is this mess?
This is the equivalent of all those stupid new door handles that EVs have these days. Different and overly complicated just for the sake of being different.
Not complicated to me. I keep a version in my wallet that I’m going to use every time I have to sign and date a document.
