Printing
Printing tips
- Choose A4 outside North America and Letter in the United States and Canada; the two layouts are otherwise identical, with the same generous margins.
- In the print dialog, set the scale to 100% or "Actual size". "Fit to page" quietly shrinks the grid and softens the lines.
- Portrait is the classic wall format; landscape gives each day a wider box if you write big or plan in two colors.
- For a wall calendar that stays flat, print on heavier paper, around 160 to 200 gsm.

Planning
Planning notes for August 2026
- The first working day of August 2026 is Monday, August 3, and the last is Friday, August 28.
- Saturday, August 29 to Monday, August 31 is a three-day weekend (Summer bank holiday).
- Mondays, Saturdays, and Sundays appear five times this month and the other days four times, so a weekly class, bin day, or payment that falls on one of them comes around once more than usual.
