Earlier quoted context omitted.

No need to look too closely, now ;)

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.

Saw this last year and liked it so much I added something very similar to it to Infumap (https://github.com/infumap/infumap). You can drag items of arbitrary type onto dates. When more than one item is associated with a date, a numbered button appears; clicking it lets you cycle through them. Items can be pages or links to pages, which when clicked show the page as a popup. Calendar pages in the parent page display as a list of all items scheduled for the next seven days.

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 idea and build on it — finances, big life events, travel, etc.

The “Year” tab is kinda like a big-picture plan of where family members are in their years, education, and, hence, significant life events. As the months go by in the year, just fold/hide that portion.

PS. I’m tinkering with moving to a plainer text format this year, in MarkDown planning for a 10-year, 20-year, 30-years, and then kinda brain-simulation of what might be in 50 or even 100 years after I’m gone. I plan for the family/generation as an entity and I just insert myself as one of the role in it. ;-)

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.

CSS rules for printing is one of my favorite features of the web. You get a powerful typesetter directly in your browser. For those wondering how it's done, I wrote about it [0] recently for my friends who frequently asked how I generated PDFs for my blogs.

Give it a shot.

Gutenberg[1] Print Styles has been my go-to for a very long time. If I remember correctly, the issues I faced was that I could not control pagination.

Which calendar is that? I haven’t found one with a decent year view similar to the one here.
