This one-page calendar will change how you view the year (bigthink.com)

It's simpler, more compact, and reusable from year-to-year in a way that no other calendar is. Here's both how it works and how to use it.

Most of us need to refer to a calendar quite frequently to know what calendar date (day, month, year) corresponds to which day of the week

I do not do this frequently. It is maybe 2.5% of the reason I use a calendar. Am I an outlier?

My use cases of a calendar:

Daily: confirming activities for the day

~Bi-daily: setting an appointment with someone else.

Weekly: confirming activities for the week, and slotting in other activities.

Monthly: long range scheduling (includes the target use case, but needs other information to be worthwhile)

Annually: Transfer persistent events to following year calendar and archival. (Target use case, but only for events that are not linked to a specific date. Also requires additional information).

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.
