Hey! It’s almost 2013! Have you made your goals yet?  Planning ahead allows you to decide what’s important and make time for it.

planning-for-2013

I’ve had a rough year.  So, to say the least, I am ready to start planning for 2013.

I am all about to do lists, calendars, and planning. I make lists for the grocery store, tasks to complete for the day, and map out my goals for the year.  Each year, I look forward to buying a clean, new, blank calendar just to fill it up with tasks, birthdays, and plans.  So, when I was sent a calendar from NeuYear.net to review, I was ecstatic.

When I get my new calendar each year, I immediately write in all of the birthdays, appointments, and anniversaries.

What You’ll Find

It’s beautiful, practical, and slightly innovative. The perfect tool to dominate 2013 in style.

– Innovative “inline” design – no wasted space, easier to plan across months
– Calendar spans 12 months
– Larger boxes than most calendars, more space for writing
– Week is grouped into weekdays and weekend, for greater visual clarity
– Dotted vertical lines reduces “chart junk” and emphasizes your deadlines
– Premium paper – 100% recycled
– Has vertical and horizontal orientation on either side of page
– 27″ x 39″
– Fits perfectly on your door or above your desk

FINISH OPTIONS:
– Laminated for use with dry erase and dry wipe markers
 – Smooth, uncoated paper is pleasing to touch. Works well with pens & pencils.

DATE OPTIONS:
– Traditional Calendar spans January – December
– Academic Calendar spans August 2012 – July 2013

Why It Works for Me

Great family calendar – fit on the side of my refrigerator perfectly.

Can note school holidays, early dismissals, doctor appointments, work schedules, and other events.

Dry erase option would allow one to quickly and easily make changes.

Why You Should Buy It

It’s BIG.
27″ x 39″ – It shows you the whole year at once. You no longer have to page through a traditional calendar (or on your small computer screen), to see the whole year. You can layout your goals for the year, set future deadlines, and clearly see the passing of time. Also, it has bigger squares so you can write more.

NO GAPS.
Unlike other calendars, this one has no space between months. The philosophy here is that the week is the currency we think in, so this calendar focuses on presenting 52 weeks, rather than 12 months. This feature helps you plan across months easily, and see clearly the distance/days between any two dates in the year. It will also motivate you to see weeks passing, deadlines approaching and goals accomplished.
