Frequently asked questions about calendars
Oh, our favorite question! There are tons of calendar types, but we'll name the mains to start: daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly. There are also seasonal, quarterly, and bi-annual calendar options. First, decide what feels most resonant for you. If you're a day-at-a-time kinda person, make your calendar designs a ritualistic process. You can print a week's worth so they're at the ready for you to customize at day's end. If you need to see your week to balance kids, dinners, and drop-offs, map it all out at once — there's no judgment here! Calendars are designed to be effective, so don't bite off more than you can chew as it'll defeat the purpose.
Create makes it so easy to customize calendars with personal pics or stock photos (we have millions!). Once you find your preferred calendar template to customize, simply delete the background layer. Find the Photos & Video tab on the right menu to either upload your own pic or peruse ours. If you want some additional pizzaz, you can add fun and playful graphics that'll make you smile throughout the day. If you're not typically a calendar person, design yours in a way that will motivate you. Do you need some extra positive reinforcement? Bright colors? A pic of your baby smiling? The Create design world is your oyster!
All set with your creation and ready to print? Awesome. You can easily print at home for your convenience. Simply click Download on the top toolbar to export your calendar. Once you download your design, select Command + P (or File > Print) on Mac, or CTRL + P for Windows as you'd normally print. From the print settings, make sure you're printing in color, or black and white if you prefer. Click Print Preview to ensure your creation aligns, and voila! Productivity's on its way.
