Earlier quoted context omitted.

I think they mean writing Tu Th Sa Su instead of T T S S (personally I'm a fan of T / theta if I'm doing single-letter abbreviations but Sat/Sun is still not the best)

Maybe we should all adopt Chinese weekday names: Sunday (星期日) remains same, Firstday (星期一) for Monday, Seconday (星期二) for Tuesday, Thirday (星期三) for Wednesday, Fourthday (星期四) for Thursday, Fifthday (星期五) for Friday and Sixthday (星期六) for Saturday. One-letter abbreviations would be simply S, 1 through 6.

Why downvoted? This is correct.

Daveseah.com was a favorite bookmark for me -- his "printable CEO" series of task planners and calendars were cool. I have since fallen off the productivity wagon unfortunately. For many years past I have printed and used stacks of the Emergent Task Planner. He has a Compact Calendar that has somewhat similar layout as OP. Edit to add link: https://davidseah.com/node/compact-calendar/ The website domain seems to have…

Big fan for a very long time and still appreciate his work. His domain changed to follow his life choices.[1]

Later in life, I realize that too much reliance on tools is not something I’m fond of. DSri’s tools (printables) are good and I usually do it when I’m helping out team members, and others looking for guardrails for their productivity. For me now, the tools are too tool-focused and I no longer need them. I have printed and used them for product groups, and even a few times for my daughter’s projects with her friends.

I did something, much simpler, some time back in Google Sheets. Around year-end, I go and edit the location of the starting dates each month (drag around, some formatting). I also like the weekdays lined up instead. Use it more as a bigger-picture timeline/schedule for the year, for the family, and me. Here is the template from last year that I shared with friends. If you are looking at it, take this as a base or an…

This is a very smart idea. Life orienteering, we are all running in life and some predefined checkpoints would be nice.

The neatnik calendar is very nice. Others are talking about enhancements they've done and I've done my own, creating a pretty faithful JavaScript implementation with enhancements: https://github.com/abetusk/neatocal https://abetusk.github.io/neatocal/ (demo) URL parameters can be used to alter behavior. Here's a highlight of some of them: https://abetusk.github.io/neatocal/?layout=aligned-weekdays&... (weekend highli…

Awesome! Totally love your version as my first gripe was that I can't adjust naming to fit my needs (localized, non-english). Your JS version is awesome, thanks!

If you want something for your examples, this would be the German-localized version for 2026: https://abetusk.github.io/neatocal/?year=2026&weekday_code=S...

Print? Paper? Jot down with what? My calendar in the cloud performs these functions far better (from my perspective and work habits). P.S. Maybe I should just remove the part in parentheses, since a number of people are completely ignoring it.

You're likely being downvoted not because there's anything wrong with having an opinion but because this feels like a low effort comment that contributes little to nothing, and comes across as quite negative and dismissive[0]. There's nothing to engage with or spark curiosity and the parentheses don't help with that.

[0]: Surely you know what printing and paper are, and how someone would jot something down, so that part comes across as ridiculing the idea.
