Finding the right monthly calendar is hard to do. The calendars I've loved using still have features I don't use, and I find myself drawing alterations by hand each month. I decided that I didn't want to do this anymore and designed one for myself.

Having a physical place to look at what's happening in a month is important for my brain. I appreciate digital calendars and use them every day, but something different happens when I write something down onto a piece of paper.

This calendar has two features that make it unique from the other printable calendars: goals and wins.

Goals

Each week has a place to write three goals. I put the goals at the end of the week because I wanted to think of them as a finish line. I kept the space small for writing down the goals to force myself to keep them simple and clear.

Wins

Months come and go so quickly. If I don't take time to reflect and practice gratitude for the things we've been able to do, it can feel like life is passing by without making progress. I added some space at the bottom to write down the accomplishments for the month. I love doing this and taking time to reflect on all the things we have to be thankful for.
