Each file covers a single month, which is what makes these different from a year overview: every day gets a box big enough to actually write in. Appointments, deadlines, shifts and reminders sit where you can read them at arm's length, and the weeks either side of the one you are in stay visible without the rest of the year competing for the space.
Whether you need a monthly calendar for work, a study schedule, a content calendar, a habit tracker or somewhere to keep the family's appointments in May 2017 straight, these blank pages give you a starting point rather than a system to learn. While our weekly calendars suit detailed day-by-day planning, a month to a page is the level at which deadlines, rotas and commitments become comparable — close enough to see the detail, wide enough to spot what is coming.
Each calendar is a .docx file that opens in Microsoft Word, Google Docs and LibreOffice Writer, so you can type notes straight into the days and write as much as a day actually needs. Add your own logo and colors alongside the existing design, or print it on US Letter paper as it is.
Federal holidays and long weekends in May 2017
Memorial Day is the only federal holiday in May 2017, on Monday, May 29. That brings a three-day weekend at no cost in vacation days. May 2017 has 31 days and 23 weekdays, 22 of them clear once the federal holiday is deducted.Ways to use a monthly calendar template
- Business and professional planning
Map out meetings, deadlines and active projects for May 2017, or use the page as a shift schedule, staff absence tracker or timesheet. A single month is short enough that a whole team can work from one printed copy without it going out of date. - Personal and family organization
Keep appointments, birthdays, school runs and household jobs in one place, and put the month up where everyone can see it. Fill in what you already know about May at the start of it and add the rest as it arrives. - Travel and vacation planning
Block out the days you are away in May, then fit flights, accommodation and connections around them. The month view also works well for a wedding, a house move or anything else with a run-up rather than a single date. - Academic and school scheduling
Lay out study sessions, homework deadlines, exam dates and reading, and see at a glance which weeks of May are heavy before they arrive. - Room to write more than a box allows
Type in full sentences and bullet points rather than abbreviating to fit, then drop the finished month into a report, a handbook or a newsletter you are already writing. Fill it in on screen, or print it and pin it to a wall, a bulletin board or the side of a desk where you will actually look at it.
