Description

Vertical Calendar Strip Example

This calendar strip template comes with 9 different calendar designs, with both horizontal and vertical strips. The vertical designs are in separate worksheet tabs within the spreadsheet. Simply print out the strips and cut out along the lines, then tape the strip to an easily seen area around your workspace. Some ideas include:

  • Around your monitor. Horizontal calendars work great taped to the top or bottom of your monitor. If you are using a vertical strip calendar, consider cutting it in half and place one below the other, or 6 months on one side of your monitor and 6 months on the other side.
  • Horizontal Calendar Strip ExampleAt the top of your keyboard. A common use of these calendar strips is to tape a horizontal calendar above the function keys for easy viewing.
  • Taped directly to your desk. Consider using packing tape to cover the whole strip so that it doesn't rip. Can be placed anywhere on your desk, but it is most common to place above or below your keyboard.
