If you don't mind sharing, what was the reason? I'm asking coz these things and also note taking isn't sustainable for me at all.

This is a really clever tool. I love the clean, one-page layout for tracking habits over a full year. One suggestion: would it be possible to add a quarterly version? Like three months per page, or separate pages for each quarter? It'd be great for shorter-term goals without everything feeling so crammed on one sheet. Thanks for making and sharing this!

Copy and paste the html into an ai tool and ask for your suggestions

Should be able to one shot that in Gemini, ChatGPT or Claude

What if... we removed the month-ends? I typically imagine time as a line, so I wondered what it would look like if days were rects in one line, just word-wrapped. It doesn't auto-adjust to page size, but 75% zoom works fine for printing in my case. https://igormartynov.com/calendar2026.html

Oooooh I like this a lot! I had Claude Code make me something in python quickly after I looked at the original post because I also prefer viewing time horizontally. I had mine do each month on a line. Sorry, didn't bother to host as a page. Here's the HTML/CSS though https://gist.github.com/bronco21016/d2d188c402b8e70c7bc115f4...

I like your layout a lot though so I might adapt that and there is still probably room to add the month label at the beginning of each month.

Not OP but I used to be totally into productivity hacks and being on top of things, goal setting, habit tracking, everything.

I stopped when I realized I could just... Not, and still thrive in my life. Simplify my systems.

I set myself a goal to workout every morning. Sometimes I miss it because my infant daughter decides to wake up at 4am instead of 5am. I give myself grace.

We eat largely the same meals every day. Some cooked protein, some cooked veggies, and a grain (rice or pasta).

And I just have a regular routine at work where I work on work and also do explorative education for myself during breaks. Look into different frameworks, patterns, etc.

I didn't need to meticulously plan out every second of my day, month, year. I just needed systems that made things predictable. Sometimes I drop the ball and it's fine. I get back on the horse when I can.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

I believe that's how Russian names the days as well. In Hebrew and Arabic we do the same, but Sunday is First Day, Monday is Second Day, etc.

Not all of them, though:

Monday - "понедельник", which is coming from the "day after the (previous) week", i.e. after the Sunday Tuesday - "вторник", true here, has "second" in the name Wednesday - "среда", has "middle" in the name Thursday - "четверг", also true, has "fourth" in the name Friday - "пятница", also true, has "fifth" in the name Saturday - "суббота", derived from the Hebrew "shabbat" Sunday - "воскресенье", almost the same word as "воскресение", which is the Christian Church word for the Resurrection (of Jesus Christ)

That's good, you should also give me a way to hide the modal to actually see the calendar before I go for printing. Nice work.

I just looked at the print preview in Firefox. Worked fine for me.

I removed it with devtools, so surely there is a dozen of work-arounds, but, still, it just weird that a page that is supposed to show a calendar, doesn't show a calendar.

My biggest hope for Elon’s Mars plan is the chance to create a whole new Calendar system that makes sense. Like honestly. 7 days in a week? Random days per month? Uneven quarters? Who the hell decided to put the leap day in February! Clearly it should be at the beginning/end of the year. The western Calendar is nuts.

Why doesn’t every month have 30 days with the last day of the quarter having 31? Ohh leap year? December 32nd or January 0.

I have a 3’x4’ dry erase version of this calendar format on my office wall. Bought it cheap on Amazon a few years ago. Put work travel dates, anniversaries, birthdays, vacations, etc on it. It’s nice to be able to see the “big picture” at a glance, and my kids love putting their own dates on it such as when they think Halloween decorations should be put up lol.

This is awesome, but my one suggestion is to abbreviate Thursday as "R" instead of "T" to avoid confusion with Tuesday.

This is how almost all calendars do it when there is only one letter for the day, so it's pretty standard.
