David Seah – Compact Planning Calendar

One of my favorite “productivity” designers is David Seah.  David created the Printable CEO series which is a series of forms to keep me on task and manages priorities.  One of the forms I use the most for Project Planning my E-learning projects is his compact calendar.  A one page calendar that encompasses the entire year–it is available as a modifiable Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet or a printable PDF.

The Compact Calendar helps you plan up to an entire year on a single sheet of paper! Print out a stack of them and keep them handy for when you need to roughly define project milestones or calculate recurring dates. These are great for taking notes during a planning meeting

While you are there check out the rest of his productivity tools.
