Free Calendar Printouts

Latest update: 2022 Calendar now available.

In the Ultra-Streamlined style of journaling there are techniques and decisions to make. The goal of this style is to invest as little time and effort as possible into maintaining your journal. But what if you really need a feature that would take a long time to set up? This is one area for easy compromise.

If you need a traditional monthly calendar layout, you can include it in your journal without having to manually write it all out. Instead just print, cut, and paste. For your printing pleasure, Universal Journal presents the free annual collection of month printouts.

We offer two sets of these printouts (based on the free downloads made available by Bourja Ahmed at Dreamstime). One set includes two sheets, with 8 months on one and 4 months on the second sheet. These are small cutouts that can be pasted in a corner the page, or anywhere out of the way of your content. These work well as a monthly overview. Download the file here.

The small calendar printout is meant to be more versatile. It can be arranged as a full year spread, mixed more easily with your layout, a multi-page annual spread with space for notes, or anything else you might have in mind.

The other set includes a larger form of the calendar. These are set up with 2 months per sheet. If you need a larger visual representation of the month, this one is for you. Download the file here.

The larger calendar pretty much commands the page. Depending on your journal size, it could be combined with the smaller calendar, such as this photo showing the large current month with small preceding and following months.

As with printing anything, depending on your particular device and settings, your mileage may vary.

DIY Phone Case/Pocket

I found this short video on a DIY paper phone case. It's sturdy enough to hold something as heavy as a smart phone (or multiple writing implements) but also light enough to include as part of your everyday journal carry. This origami item could be modified to suit any number of things. Want to try some Origami?

Bullet Journal for Teachers: Class Semester

A previous post ( Bullet Journal for the hard working educator ) linked to a now dead page. I've updated the post so it links to the archive.org version of a page on 16 layouts for teachers. Here is an ultra-streamlined take on one layout idea from that page, a class semester for the teacher. (affiliate links included in this post) As with the Universal Journal approach (minimal set up time) I've tried to incorporate placement, iconography, and colors to communicate as much information as possible with as little effort as possible. The following description and included photos show a completely hypothetical semester, simply for illustration of the concepts. Layout The basic layout in the photo above places the semester weeks at the top of the spread. The class assignments, labs, exams, etc. are listed in the left column. So each item has its own row for any pertinent information. The weeks are bit busy so let me unpack all that. The week number of the semester is listed on

Streamlined Bullet Journal Index

The index is crucial for many of bullet journalers. Those who use the bullet journal method closer to its original design find the index useful (since returning to old content is a fairly regular thing) but there is always the matter of how. This is an ultra-streamlined take on the index. First, I wish I could remember where I saw this idea in order to give credit. It's brilliant and so simple to do. Given the uncertainty of required space for the index, and the uncertainty of the required space for the future log, why not separate these two things? Putting the index in the back of the book solves this issue with grace. I can set up a spread or two for the future log in the front but in the back there is all the space I will ever need. When the index meets the content or even gets close to it, it's time to move to a new notebook. Another trick (kudos to Christina77star ) is the separation of the index into categories. I might leave the regular things in one page of the index (
