The 2014 Compact Calendar is now available. I thought I had updated earlier, but apparently that was only in my dreams.
For those of you new to the Compact Calendar, it’s a single-page calendar that you print out and use for planning. The days of the year are presented as a solid block of days, so it’s easy to count-off weeks when you are figuring out scheduling. There’s plenty of space on the right-hand side too, so you can keep notes. I first made this calendar back in the 90s so I could block-out projects during meetings, but since then I’ve heard that people use it for family vacation planning and even biological purposes (counting weeks of gestation, for example). There are even a few international versions available from generous bloggers around the world. Thank you for your time!

Thanks for this! It will help me with my Project Life-style photo diary. I need to know the week numbers and my diary doesn’t have them. Love the clean and crisp design too.
Yep – a big thanks from me too. This will help me in so many ways. I always like to see the big picture first. I find the ‘normal’ calendars very frustrating.
Dave, I’m sure many of Angelia’s backers would also find this useful. Is there some way you two can link and share information. I think this would be a win-win for everyone.
A big thanks Dave. I’m printing out the whole year and the next trimester –I always pass them out to my students to help them develop time-lines for their dissertation projects. I love the calendars!!
This is outstanding. I do prefer Monday-based calendars and ISO week numbers.
I found a German Version at http://www.usercentered.de/kompaktkalender/ (It’s not made by me, just found the link…)
Cool about that one: It not only valid for 2014 but for every year :)
Cool, I’ll have to add the German one to the list! The US version also valid for every year if you change the starting day, but I also include PDFs for people who don’t have Excel.

Hi Dave! This Calendar is great thing! Here is a version of the compact calendar 2014 for Russia http://yadi.sk/d/ExhYBorpFn4PJ
Thanks everyone! I’ve updated the calendar with your links!
Thanks so much for doing this. I’ve really come to rely on these!
Love this calendar and have used it various times over the years. Is there any way to change the color from blue? I’d like to be able to use different colors for different things; groups I belong to, projects, etc.
Hi Dave – Thank you for sharing your calendar. The update is awesome! I use it as a starting point for our purchasing dept calendars. just add in week numbers, and printing 2 years on one page, Fold lengthwise down the middle & voila! Everyone keeps one at their desk, as a quick reference.
Thanks for sharing this, and for making it so easy to use, flexible, and attractive to look at. I find I keep coming back to this when planning anything that I expect to take more than a couple weeks. What a fantastic tool!
