Another fun one is: https://neatnik.net/calendar/ From the site: > If you print this page, you’ll get a nifty calendar that displays all of the year’s dates on a single page. It will automatically fit on a single sheet of paper of any size. For best results, adjust your print settings to landscape orientation and disable the header and footer.
I wish there was a way to select a different year (by appending it to the url, for instance).
Just wanted to add that on Linux/Unix (including MacOS), typing "cal" into the terminal also gives you a calendar. And there are arguments you can pass in to make it display a specific month or year.

From the README [0]:
""" By default, the current year is used. You can override the year by supplying a year parameter, e.g. /calendar.php?year=2027. """
the compact calendar, and emergent task planner have been my favorites
I've looked at many calendar styles that fit my needs - minimal and straightforward yet adhering to the custom quirks I wanted. I ended up with a Spreadsheet (Google Sheets) where I align the weekends (SAT/SUN) by moving the Month's start date up/down. It helps me get a bird's eye view of the critical events this/next year and tentative plans - such as travels, visas, weddings, reunions, and other events where work and family inter-twins.
It helps me look at the coming year (e.g., 2024), a few months behind (2023), and the next (2025). In the spreadsheet, I have one sheet ("Years") that marks years against significant events for the family, such as the tentative kids' graduations, college, retirement, how old is someone which year, and, of course, the likely year behind which I might no longer be operational.
For instance, I can look up where and what stage we might be in the years 2030, 2040, and 2050. Heck, I have the years dragged all the way to 2100. I'm definitely not alive to see that, but it is fun to see what year it is if you can hit 100 or what it is going to be when I hit 80.
This is, of course, only for the big-picture items. The daily, weekly, and monthly go to the calendar, and the perpetual to-do in plain text. And I know that everything will go differently than the plan -- the idea is to build an idea maze of what ifs and then the repercussions of the events that can unfold in the future. It is fun; go and play the mind game this Sunday.
I had used David Shea's[1] printables for a very long time. Well, even some of the printables I made for my use and kids' are inspired by his work.
I just forked and cleaned out a bare sheet for 2024. I hope this is helpful to someone to start from or get inspired to do their own versions -- https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YwAf8vgVR0FbTU6n1dVO...
When it comes to organising my life the cycle of week to week planning is by far the most important one. Where we are in that cycle at any given moment in time — what day of the week it is — is much more important than knowing the current month. Shopping for food, planning vacations, the school year, meetings, socialising — all happen per week or over the course of weeks, and never per month or over the course of months.
The challenge then is to produce a calendar where the months are as incidental as the phase of the moon or the numeric value of current day, and where the focus is on the shape of the week and the space, in weeks, between events and date ranges. (Ironically, weeks and lunar cycles are closely related, so it might actually be cool/fun/unique to focus on lunar cycles while pivoting to a week-on-week format.)
What is the best calendar shape that handles this?
(The site that you’ve built around the calendar is superbly executed btw.)
Like a lot of calendars, this has a big focus on months yet the only monthly schedules I have are passive and operate in the background: salary in, bills out.

Visually for me it would be a vertical list that starts from Monday to Sunday.
