Twenty Calendar Creation Ideas
by Pamela Stevens
With a little technology, creativity and a digital camera, you can
create any kind of calendar you can imagine. It's fun creating a
calendar with your own photos and captions, here are a few ideas to help
get you started.
1. Menu Planner: Plan your meals and your shopping. Lower your stress
level and improve your health, by planning menus ahead by the week or by
the month that include shopping lists and recipes to make meal planning
a pleasure instead of a chore.
2. Diet and Exercise: Staying on task and staying fit takes work. You
should not have to sweat when planning your work out and diet schedule.
With a personal training calendar you can schedule increases in your
work out intensity, monitor your weight or BMI goals, and include
motivational images and quotas.
3. Project or Remodel: Sometimes it is difficult to keep on target and
on time when remodeling your home, with a project calendar, you can set
completion goals and schedule your workdays. You can even enter budget
information into your notes to monitor expenses. Insert before and after
pictures to watch your progress through the year.
4. Book Club: If you are in a book club, you can build a calendar with
your reading schedule and even include information about where/when to
purchase your books on time, such as links or addresses to bookstores.
You can include pictures and quotes that reflect your book choices.
5. Office/Workplace: Sometimes morale needs a little boost in the
office, so a fun calendar that has pictures of happy employees at events
or office antics could help. Alternatively, you can build a calendar
with your company logos, product pictures or company motto that reflect
your company's standards and goals. You could include corporate history
such as the founding date, hire dates and other significant company
information such as the first day the company met their production goal
or moved to a new building.
6. Advent Calendar: Create your own advent wall calendar with quotes in
the dates or attach gifts to the dates.
7. Sports: If you are a sports fan, you can build a calendar with your
favorite teams schedule and pictures. If you are a player you could
build a calendar with your game dates and practice dates, with this
calendar, you will never miss a game.
8. History: Teach your kids and yourself history. Find events for every
day of the year and enter them on your calendar with historic pictures
and quotes.
9. Motivational: Build a calendar to help you meet your goals. If you
are saving through the year to buy a new house or a car, or just want to
keep your self on track with your personal goals, you are the only one
that knows what motivations work for you. So create a calendar with
inspiring images, goals, and anything else that will keep you on track
to making your dreams come true.
10. Gardening: Do a little research on the growing season in your local
area and set your gardening schedule. You could even add day light and
moon phase times, average rainfall, or lawn mowing/ watering times.
11. Pets: For pet lovers with a digital camera, a cute calendar with
your pet in holiday themes is fun. For example, you can set your cute
kitty by a pumpkin for October or take a picture of your tired dog
sleeping under the Christmas tree for December.
12. Family: Keeping track of your family's special events and history is
easy with calendar creating software. These are great gifts to share for
the holidays, you could include anniversary dates, birthdays, and other
family information. One great thing is that once you set a date, it can
automatically be set for the following year as well.
13. Multi Language: Maybe someone in your home is learning a new
language or you already know more than one, you could create a calendar
to view in multiple languages with multinational holidays. If you are a
language teacher, you could create a new word-of-the-day calendar for
your students.
14. Civic Responsibility: If you are civically minded person you could
create a calendar that displays your local and national political
events, voting days, and to schedule your volunteer work and
contributions to your community.
15. Beautiful Baby: If you have a new baby or grandbaby, you can create
a calendar of the baby's first year. With a digital camera, it is not
expensive to create a new calendar page for every month to share with
you friends and family as the baby grows.
16. Counselors/Therapist: For those that are counselors or therapists,
sometimes it is difficult to keep your clients on time and making
progress. With a calendar creator you can in minutes, print out a
schedule for your client with their appointment times and goals for the
upcoming week or month.
17. Hobby/Interest: If your passion is for example scrap booking,
motor-cross or celebrity birthdays, create a calendar of information and
images that pertain to your special interests.
18. Countdown: If you have an important event coming up like a wedding,
a birth, or a celebration, create a countdown calendar that includes all
of the things that you need to do to prepare for your upcoming event.
19. Daily: You could create a daily event calendar, such a new
word-of-the-day or a personal goal-of-the-day.
20. Financial: Never be late on your bills again; schedule your payments
and savings, to keep you on target and on time all year long.
Calendar creating above all is fun and a great way to keep everyone
informed and entertained through out the year.
