In Sweden this format is called Hallon-almanackan (the raspberry almanack). I build an implementation here: t https://hallonalmanackan.kodare.com/
Tack. :) I might use Stylus to change the layout a bit. But actually just what I was looking for!

Re: Calendar
#84Can anyone recommend a native macOS app with a calendar like this that supports .ics calendars?

These look great for people who like to plan their tasks. I found that when I plan my tasks and plan my day and plan my time bubbles, I spend so much time planning that I don't have time left for doing. This planner explicitly encourages having only three planned tasks for the day. What's wrong with just doing those tasks without writing them down? I ask in full seriousness, as someone struggling decades with how to…
I feel like the entire productivity thing is broscience. There's no study for it (the 'three items' idea), it just feels like the right thing to do. Quite often the people making these tools are not particularly productive themselves. And nobody I know has ever stuck to one productivity system for very long outside of "todo list text file"
The idea is not about One Perfect/Right solution/tool. Explore them and modify them to how you react and which ones work for you. Use multiple tools (plain-text as default, another App with the team, Notebooks for yourself), etc. For someone struggling with too many options, perhaps a little nudge to some direction is what they needed.

#86I've used a Google Sheet exactly like this. Highlighted weekends and laid out with all days of the year. Export as PDF can fit on a single sheet of paper. But I also print it out on a huge paper and hang it up for my family. [ https://bettersheets.co/bigyear ]
Man, a marketing landing page for a calendar. That's really something.
I doubt HN is your market. Everything about that page made me want to run in fear. And I don't trust your download link.
I expected some dude's blog with an .xlsx upload or something. I would have a lot more trust there.
What am I giving up by using yours? What's in it for you?

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)
Thorn, Þ, seems a more natural choice. The rune is called thurs, even. I guess there's katakana Sa サ and Su ス, if that's an improvement.
yeah, but I was a math major and theta looks like a normal letter to me whereas thorn takes me a sec to realize what I'm looking at
I like the katakana idea, I wonder if I can train myself to recognize the Su one enough to start using that when I'm handwriting days of the week places

#88Margins need to be a bit larger.
When printed, "2026" at the top is cut in half and at the bottom "31st" cells are cut right through the slab of 1. On the left side all but last few pixels of dates are cut off, and the last column is visibly narrower than the rest.
This is in Firefox on Windows.

Probably depends on your printer. And you should be able to adjust margins in the print setup.

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 hav…

I find if I don’t plan I get a lot less done
Planning shouldn’t take that long
Do it while you’re doing something else. You can plan when you have your morning coffee, or while you commute or walk isn’t Apple voice memos and then copy the transcript and paste it into ChatGPT and have it make you a todo list from that messy memo
It shouldn’t take you any additional time if you don’t want it to.
