Like all DIYFish inserts, the yearly chart can be used in a myriad of ways. I’ve played with these charts for well over a year now, and I’ve found a process that works extremely well for me.

My yearly chart serves as an index and tracker; it gives me a great overview of everything that was going on in our lives at a particular time.  The only forward planning I do on this chart takes place at the end of the current year when the upcoming year’s chart becomes available. I usually don’t change out my monthly calendar pages until the end of December, so the yearly chart provides a place for me to jot notes onto post-its and keep them safe until I can transfer them to my monthly calendars.

Are you using a yearly calendar or chart of some sort? How do you use it?
