Clean and Simple Calendars

 Updated each year around October. 

I started making these one-year-on-one-page calendars when I couldn't find anything suitable online.  There are plenty of sources for blank calendars on the web (probably thousands), but most are formatted as one-month-to-a-page.  Options for customizing content are also available, but nothing that I could find was as simple and straightforward as this.

The emphasis on federal holidays and paydays is due to the fact that I worked for the government at the time I started making theses, but it's still useful for planning and budgeting for anyone who's in the U.S. or on a biweekly pay plan.

Past years are available after the break, along with feedback from those that received these as part of what became an annual distribution tradition.


My annual distribution went out to a few dozen Army interns - all past or current members of the same training program as myself.  These comments are from e-mail correspondence:
  • "I was going to start working on my budget and all of a sudden I realized you had not sent out the calendar for next year…..I am really MISSING that.  I have used them every year that you have sent them out =)   Thanks for doing it."
  • "Thank you!"
  • "Thanks much, Sky"
  • "Thanks Sky, Excellent as always!"
  • "Thanks, Sky!!!!!!!"
  • "Thanks!  These really come in handy!"
