- The author was searching for a yearly calendar that allows detailed planning, including seeing every day with space for notes, marking date ranges for vacations, and displaying important events like birthdays and public holidays.
- Digital solutions like Apple Calendar lacked full-year visibility and detail, while paper-based options required manual entry of personal events.
- The author found a suitable solution through Time and Date, a Norwegian company, which offers a Multi Month calendar under their Supporter plan for $15/year.
- A limitation was the lack of ICS (calendar file) import functionality, requiring manual entry of events via their web interface.
- The author developed a userscript for Tampermonkey in Safari to automate the import of birthdays from Calendar.app, available on GitHub.
- The final calendar was printed in A2 size at a local copy shop and placed on the author's door for easy access.
- Plans include adding forgotten events during the year and updating the digital calendar at year's end for reuse in the next year's calendar.
