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.
Simpler, my ass 🤣
How do you write appointments on it?
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
I do not do this frequently. It is maybe 2.5% of the reason I use a calendar. Am I an outlier?
My use cases of a calendar:
Daily: confirming activities for the day
~Bi-daily: setting an appointment with someone else.
Weekly: confirming activities for the week, and slotting in other activities.
Monthly: long range scheduling (includes the target use case, but needs other information to be worthwhile)
Annually: Transfer persistent events to following year calendar and archival. (Target use case, but only for events that are not linked to a specific date. Also requires additional information).
I’d say I primarily use a calendar for seeing which day of the week is which calendar date. I typically don’t have too much scheduled in the next ~two weeks at any time to keep in my head, in the form of day of the week now that I think about it. I usually use a calendar to check if there’s anything further out than that and convert it to e.g. ‘next thursday’ to remember.
It sounds like you use a calendar much more than I do, I check mine once every couple weeks at most tbh. I might be the outlier here though, who knows.
Imagine having to write that many words about 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.
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?
