| Around 2014 I came across this article of Wait But Why, https://waitbutwhy.com/2014/05/life-weeks.html Which lists the same things, same concept, but instead of a pdf, it gives you a jog of same grid. I personally used an excel sheet with first column listing my age in years, like 0,1,2, all the way till 90. First row has months spanning across four columns, so B1:B5 will be Jan, & so on till Dec. Last column has year in YY format, so it starts from 84,85,86 etc for total 90 years. First row & first column, i.e. headers are fixed view. Each of the actual cells are all light grey border, with month bounry (every 4th column) a bit darker grey. The overall boundary, 12x4= 48 columns and 90 rows have thick black border. All columns have vertical center text, and left aligned. All cells, columns, rows have exact same width height, not headers. Each of the month is roughly divided between 4 parts, 1 to 7, 8 to 14, 15 to 21, & 21+. First entry simply says Born. On my birthday. Then school classes, they all start in April first week. First, Second etc. Then college. Some personal events, like birth of my siblings. Every time something major happens (like relocation), I change the background of those cells to another pastel color. Text left aligned, so overflow flows over to next columns. Someday I will make a blog post at davinder.net & will attach a blank all setup excel sheet, for no money :) |
