This calendar shows the whole year at once. It also keeps the whole run of weeks continuous with the months marked out by slight gaps and different colors. The weeks are also numbered in the middle.
That's the basic description of what you see here. The reason for it is that the whole idea of visually breaking time into months has never made a lot of sense to me. Does time keep ending and starting over again? Not really. The week will still be a whole week whether it's in the middle of a month or at the end. So keep those weeks together.
Breaking up calendars into months is more useful for showing lots of pictures than planning ahead. Distant events are hidden away behind pictures of cats or natural wonders or Warhol prints or whatever else is on there. Putting everything on one poster lets you see how far away some event is and if you need to start getting ready for it.
Another bit of help for planning is the week count. Subtract one number from another and you'll know how long you have until something happens
As an extra bonus, the continuous style also lets you mark off days in a chain as was described by Jerry Seinfeld has described. Keep doing something every day, mark off the days with Xes and you'll soon see a solid chain of success.

A stand alone software, a bit like portable, would be easier, no need to install anything fancy, just tick off completed days, etc and then see overview of the year, and see how the picture of one's completioin of events, projects, etc... Projects, Events, etc Something like that.
Great idea, man. Now I'm wanting the software! Hahah. For now, it's paper and such. No worries!
I also played around with the idea of an app version of this, but that is a much bigger undertaking as I have no clue about mobile app development.
Still, great idea, man, this is a great way to be MORE productive. Hence I put in the time figuring out how to make one in the spreadsheet.
Kudos to Fungus Amungus and Jerry Seinfeld for this idea for productive work!
Thanks very much if you can
When I get that together, hopefully soon, I'll also put together a multi-page PDF for the rest of 2012 so people can see if they like it.
just another way to seperate how long between 2 dates.
In case people are wondering, I use Excel to make all of my calendars. It's easy and quick and most people have it.
I like that the unit of the calendar is the week, with minimal attention paid to the actual month. As a student my life rotates around 10-week quarters(soon 14-week semesters), so this is a great idea.
In terms of a calendar with all of the small events that fill a day, I use my phone for that.
