This is one of the best examples of over engineering something that nobody asked for, to solve a problem that nobody has, in the most complicated useless way possible. It's funny but irritating that it's presented with a straight face.

It's only simple if you have a bunch of calendar rules memorized. Personally instead of for example memorizing the Thanksgiving rule I would find it much easier to just look for the square titled Thanksgiving in Nov.

Just stop leaving your home, easy

I think it would work well as an app/website calendar but it wouldn't work as a paper calendar without extra sheets which would defeat the purpose of it.

Also how do you count how many days away a deadline is? It's a jumbled up mess.

I'd say I primarily use a calendar for seeing which day of the week is which calendar date. I typically don't have too much scheduled in the next ~two weeks at any time to keep in my head, in the form of day of the week now that I think about it. I usually use a calendar to check if there's anything further out than that and convert it to e.g. 'next thursday' to remember.

It sounds like you use a calendar much more than I do, I check mine once every couple weeks at most tbh. I might be the outlier here though, who knows.

The article is a textbook example on how to overcomplicate things. It's almost like it was in school when you were done with your answer after a few sentences but the teacher demanded at least one written page.

I know. The picture of the calendar is entirely self-explanatory yet they wrote a thousand words explaining it.

That ridiculous calendar. To much effort to figure out dates and what about holidays and how do you mark out events on that?

If you rescale it to the same font size, it doesn't.

That was ridiculously complicated. What I did is memorize the month columns in Dr. Siegel's universal calendar. Now I can figure out any calendar day in my head. I plan to amaze my friends with this new skill.

Direct link or you can make your own in your favorite spreadsheet program. It's not that complicated.

Not complicated to me. I keep a version in my wallet that I'm going to use every time I have to sign and date a document.

I got it in my wallet. And I'm going to pull it out every time I am filling out a form and need to sign and date it.
