What Is a Desk Calendar?

As its name suggests, it's a calendar that you can place on a desk or any flat surface that's easy for you to view it. It's a very helpful tool for keeping track of all daily, weekly, and even monthly events and activities that either should or are guaranteed to take place. A desk calendar is perfect for those who are busy on a day-to-day basis as it will help these people schedule everything that they need to do. 

How to Make a Desk Calendar  ?

1. Understand Why You Need the Calendar

Although we all have our own reasons for keeping a calendar, it's important that you understand why you need it if you decide to make one. This is because it'll give you an idea of what kind of design it should have or what events and activities it should highlight. Once you've managed to figure out its purpose, then you may move on to actually start making it. 

2. Use a Template

If you don't want to make your desk calendar from scratch, then know that there are many printable calendar templates for you to download and use. Using one will definitely help you save time as they already have premade designs and layouts. Should you choose to use them, the only thing that you have to do is to make a few edits so that you can give them your own personal touch. 

3. Come Up with the Calender's Design

You'll want to go through samples of desk calendars so that you'll have an idea as to what size yours should be in and what kind of layout it should have. How you want it to look will depend entirely on you. You can choose to make it as beautiful and colorful as possible or you can also keep it simple. Take note that you don't want to get too creative as you have to make sure that there's room for you to put in what it needs to be a proper calendar. 

4. Make Sure It Covers All the Dates

Since you're making a calendar, you want to make sure that it's able to cover every single day of the year. What you will have to do is to take note of the year that your calendar should cover. From there, you should be able to put in all of the different days that contain holidays or events that are definitely going to take place. Don't forget to type in the different days of the week and the dates that they're tied to. 

5. Check Everything

It is very important that you at least go through the desk calendar that you've made to see if there are any mistakes that you have to fix. It's entirely possible that you may have made one that has covered the wrong year or one that has dates placed on the wrong days of the week. Go over everything and correct any errors that you see.
