It’s simpler, more compact, and reusable from year-to-year in a way that no other calendar is. Here’s both how it works and how to use it.
This is surprisingly useful to me. I frequently need to know the dates of upcoming Sundays when making agendas and having this printed next to my desk would save me from going back and forth with a traditional calendar.
This is the kind of thing some company prints on a piece of plastic the size of a credit card, someone sticks it in their wallet then they forget about it for a decade. 😂
I got it in my wallet. And I’m going to pull it out every time I am filling out a form and need to sign and date it.
Appointments were already mentioned, but what about holidays - the days most of us get off work? A simple solution wold be to write them next to the calendar, but it’s a bit less than an elegant solution.
Imagine having to write that many words about this.
I know. The picture of the calendar is entirely self-explanatory yet they wrote a thousand words explaining it.
Well, the site is called “big think” so it’s safe to assume they overthought all of this
The article is a textbook example on how to overcomplicate things. It’s almost like it was in school when you were done with your answer after a few sentences but the teacher demanded at least one written page.
That’s almost word for word what I just posted!
I was sort of getting it until I noticed the months are all jumbled up too, they’re not in any coherent order or anything. What a mess. It’s so over engineered it actually makes me just a tad bit angry.
I like this very much, thanks for posting
Interesting, thanks
I’m not learning a new calendar untill US implements the metric system
Simpler, my ass 🤣
This is one of the best examples of over engineering something that nobody asked for, to solve a problem that nobody has, in the most complicated useless way possible. It’s funny but irritating that it’s presented with a straight face.
It’s only simple if you have a bunch of calendar rules memorized. Personally instead of for example memorizing the Thanksgiving rule I would find it much easier to just look for the square titled Thanksgiving in Nov.
February 31st is a Friday. It’s foolproof.
What is this mess?
This is the equivalent of all those stupid new door handles that EVs have these days. Different and overly complicated just for the sake of being different.
Not complicated to me. I keep a version in my wallet that I’m going to use every time I have to sign and date a document.
I like this. It saves resources. And I think we should all start adapting to it.
Is this a meme? I clicked on it and it took me to an article to seemed completely serious. Is this like the onion for white collar workers?
Thanks, I hate it. It lacks safety features for tough days where mental processes are not your friend.
That ridiculous calendar. To much effort to figure out dates and what about holidays and how do you mark out events on that?
I kinda hate it but they’re talking specifically about a different purpose of a calendar.
Most of us need to refer to a calendar quite frequently to know what calendar date (day, month, year) corresponds to which day of the week. But rather than having to change your calendar every month, this one-page calendar works for the entire year to give you all the information you need, practically immediately.
Even better, learn how to easily calculate the weekday yourself.
That was ridiculously complicated. What I did is memorize the month columns in Dr. Siegel’s universal calendar. Now I can figure out any calendar day in my head. I plan to amaze my friends with this new skill.
Huge article, but no mention of where we can download high-res pics
Direct link or you can make your own in your favorite spreadsheet program. It’s not that complicated.
