David Seah Compact Calendar

This is a useful tool to manage your time (at home) or your projects (at work): the Compact Calendar by David Seah.

David Seah is a specialist of Productivity and methods of empowering ourselves.

The main advantage of the compact calendar is its size : it fits on a single A4 page and you can print it at home… or at work.

Compact calendar has several advantages compared to the famous Gantt Chart :

retains the monthly calendar format, with days of the week in columns
Saturdays and Sundays are shaded differently, so we are not as tempted to plan our work schedule on them
You’re forced to break up project tasks to fit into each 5-day work period. Gantt charts, by comparison, tend to draw long lines through the weekend because that’s what lines want to do.
retain the days of the week in the same column, so it’s easy to mark recurring events that are tied to them

I am working with Gantt Chart since beginning of October and I must say I love David Seah’s Calendar, I should try to introduce it tomorrow at my job
