Tiny annual calendar
Long ago I made a tiny calendar that shows a whole year at once, which I used to track habit streaks. It looked like this:
Besides tracking habits, I kept one hanging off the bottom of my external monitor, and every day I marked off the day before. I appreciated the awareness that gave me of the year's passage.
Now, however, instead of simply observing the year go by, I use this calendar to plan what I'd like to do in the year that remains. I'm not a natural planner, so having the whole year in one view helps me find gaps between responsibilites when I can travel or go camping.
I have some small annotations on it for family birthdays and holidays, as well as occasional highlights about things in the past that made an impact on the year as a whole. At the end of the year, I'm planning to use these accumulated notes to reflect on the year and start mapping out the next.
