Welcome back to another episode of Five-Minute Friday.
In this episode, Jon takes a break from his weekly habit tracking check-in to revisit continuous calendars. He shares his 2022 template for those who want to utilize this underrated approach to planning.
We’ve been busy diving into habit tracking since the start of the year, but this week, Jon is switching gears and exploring the benefits of continuous calendars.
After first introducing this concept back in June during episode #482, he’s revisiting them as an essential component to productivity that pairs very well with daily habit tracking. If you haven’t already, we highly recommend giving episode 482 a listen for a full explanation!
According to Jon, continuous calendars are a rarely used but vastly superior way of viewing your upcoming deadlines compared to the much more common monthly or weekly calendars. We provide you with a 2022 continuous calendar if you are interested in giving this approach a try in the new year. Simply visit jonkrohn.com/cal22 for your 2022 calendar today! If you would like to reconfigure this calendar for a region outside of the US, feel free to make a copy of the sheet or download it, and then customize it to your liking.
In a continuous calendar, every single row of a big matrix represents the weeks of the year, with seven columns of the matrix corresponding to the days of the week. Since we don’t needlessly break up our calendar into arbitrary 30-day chunks, this enables us to see time in a single, convenient view and gives us a more realistic sense of how much time there is between two given dates. So why not integrate one into your routine this month?
We’re back with our weekly habit series next week, but until then, we hope you’ll give this new approach a try this year!
