All right, so the past two Fridays, I had episodes for you on daily habits. We’ll continue on with that habit series next week, but I’m interrupting the series today to bring you a time-sensitive message.
Back in Episode #482, which aired in June, I provided you with an introduction to continuous calendars — a rarely used, but from my perspective, vastly superior way of viewing your upcoming deadlines relative to the much more common monthly or weekly calendars.
Give Episode #482 a listen for the full explanation, but the idea in a single sentence is that by having every single row of a big matrix represent the weeks of the year with seven columns of the matrix corresponding to the days of the week, we don’t needlessly break up our calendar into arbitrary 30ish-day chunks. This enables us to see time in a single convenient view and gives us a more realistic sense of how much time there is between two given dates.
The reason why this is a time-sensitive message is that the calendar template I provided you back in June only covered the second half of 2021. Now that it’s 2022, you need a new calendar so I created one that will get you through the full year. Head to jonkrohn.com/cal22 to check it out.
There you’ll find a Google Sheet broken into two sheets for easy printing. The first sheet is for the first 26 weeks of the year and the second one is for the remaining 26 weeks of the year. The calendar is all black except that I marked Federal US Holidays with red dates. If you’re in another region, or you’d like to adapt my continuous calendar for any reason at all, simply make a copy of the sheet or download it, and then customize it to your liking.
That’s it for today! Next Friday, I’ll be back with a continuation of my daily habits series. In the meantime, keep on rockin’ it out there and I’ll catch you on another round of SuperDataScience very soon.
