Tackling time management can be an overwhelming challenge for professionals regardless of your field. Printing a blank weekly calendar is one way to get your time issues tamed.
One way to manage time better and have an organized approach to tasks is to use a printable weekly appointment calendar.
1. Prioritize - There are probably several items on your to-do list (or scattered on various sticky notes around your desk) that need to be done sooner rather than later. Other projects may not need attention as urgently. Using a week-by-week calendar can help you to be decisive about what needs tackling first.
2. Organize Your Tasks - Some tasks require completing after accomplishing others first. Laying out a plan on a printable weekly calendar is a quick way to get organized.
3. Keep Track of What You Have Done - A printable weekly planner will be a comprehensive tool for keeping track of the tasks you have already completed. Entries in weekly calendars can help you see all that you have accomplished at a glance.

Free weekly calendar
Many websites offer free weekly calendar templates to create your own week-by-week calendar.
I recommend: Download attractive calendars from the
Myfreecalendarmaker website. Format them to be weekly, monthly, yearly, or even daily, and then print them out using Adobe Acrobat. Another weekly calendar download is available through
Microsoft Office Marketplace. This site offers the choice of using generic weekly calendars for any year or free weekly calendar templates from Microsoft Excel, which are customized for a particular week of the year. Free printable weekly planner pages are also available through
Kaboose. In a slightly different format, use these planner pages for any week of the year. Geared towards parents trying to break up and plan for the many tasks in their day, organize them into morning, afternoon, and evening sections.
Customize your weekly calendar
There are ways to make your printable weekly calendars uniquely yours with the options available at many websites.
I recommend: CalendarsQuick offers free weekly calendar pages with an expansive variety of options. You can include your own events, deadlines, and projects, along with the preferred start day of the week and page orientation, for a calendar that fits the specific needs of your business. With more customizing options,
EPrintable.com even allows you to add images and motivational or religious quotes to your weekly calendar. These features are not as common to the free weekly calendar templates, but are seen more often in the calendars that can be printed out by the month.
Weekly calendars available for a nominal fee
In addition to the many free weekly calendars available, a number of companies offer paid subscriptions. They will also email the calendars directly to you.
I recommend: Enchanted Learning features printable calendars with the option of printing activities for every day of the year. The calendars are available through a yearly subscription.
Mountain Software offers calendars that adjust to fit each week's needs. For a week with lots of projects and deadlines, the weekly view will expand to fit it all. The company offers a free 15-day trial to see if the calendars fit the needs of your business.
