A New Calendar for 2012

Browsing Dribbble early in the morning on the first day of 2012 lead me to this, a calendar designed to help you get stuff done. It’s fucking awesome.

Designer Caleb Greene explains it:

And so, for the start of 2012, I’ve designed a calendar. This calendar is an attempt to help me, and hopefully you, do that; to establish habits and patterns that will help us reap long-term successes. Each circle on the calendar represents a day. The idea is to come up with a daily task that you want to do every day in 2012. For each task print out a sheet on 11x17in paper. When you accomplish the task, fill in the circle for that day. It may seem simple, and perhaps even silly, but I know that doing something like this helps. Even after three days of filling in circles, you really want to make sure you fill in that fourth circle. You don’t want to break the streak. You don’t want to have to skip it and leave it blank when you look at it tomorrow. Every little bit helps.

What a superb idea. This calendar not only looks like a flower, but you can watch it grow and expand as you spend time completing whatever it is you wanted to do. Here’s to a new year, and actually sticking to your resolutions.
