Freebie Friday: 2013 NeuYear Calendar
Earlier this year, Jesse at NeuYear.net contacted us about his awesome wall calendar. I’ve seen a few calendars in my day, so I wondered what made this particular calendar so awesome. So I checked out their website…which says the NeuYear calendar is awesome because…
It’s BIG. It shows you the whole year at once. You no longer have to page through a traditional calendar (or on your small computer screen), to see the whole year. You can layout your goals for the year, set future deadlines, and clearly see the passing of time. Also, it has bigger squares so you can write more.
It has NO GAPS. Unlike other calendars, this one has no space between months. The philosophy here is that the week is the currency we think in, so this calendar focuses on presenting 52 weeks, rather than 12 months. This feature helps you plan across months easily, and see clearly the distance/days between any two dates in the year. It will also motivate you to see weeks passing, deadlines approaching and goals accomplished.
It’s BEAUTIFUL. It combines functional features with brilliant aesthetics. In Making Ideas Happen, author Scott Belsky says “the design of your productivity tools will affect how eager you are to use them. Attraction often breeds commitment.” You’ll be eager to use this attractive calendar.
It’s TWO IN ONE. Not only all this, but its 2 calendars in 1! It has a horizontal orientation that fits perfectly above your desk, or you can flip it over for a vertical orientation that fits perfectly on your door.
Now, if you’ve been reading my blog for a while, then you’re probably not at all surprised that after reading about this awesome calendar I was intrigued. After all, I’m a huge fan of beautiful organizing tools, and have been known to say that the more you love an organizing solution, the more likely you are to use it. But even more, as a visual girl (as I know so many of you are) I loved the idea of being able to see an entire year all in one spot…big and on the wall!
This format is terrific for planning future events (we used ours to map out our core workshops for the entire 2013 calendar year!) and it’s also terrific for tracking progress. Imagine tracking your goals on a big ol’ NeuYear calendar? Wouldn’t that be so motivating?
So after giving it a test drive of my own…I decided, yes, this is awesome enough to share with our readers. And so, share we will. Up for grabs is one NeuYear 2013 Calendar of your choice (DryErase or Uncoated). Plus, everyone can take advantage of this sweet 30% off coupon. Just enter the discount code “Simplify101″ at checkout. This offer expires Jan. 31, 2013.
wait, I think I’m MORE excited that you planned your entire core workshop schedule for the entire year! Will you be sharing this schedule with us so that we can plan better when to take your awesome workshops?
Is there a link to the site so we can check out more pics?
Our family activities!
I didn’t know I could be THIS excited about a calendar! Seriously, why has NOBODY thought of this before. I would probably use if for everything EXCEPT meal planning since I have a special calendar for that on the fridge. But doctor appointments, vacations and everything else are fair game.
Oh the dry-erase would be perfect for planning our schedules, activities, events and date nights =-) Love it
What a wonderful give a way… thank you!
I plan out storytimes. This would be great for planning library programs!
Awesome calendar! Want one.
I’d use this to replace the dinky 2 week dry erase calendar we have on our wall to keep track of childcare.
I would use it for planning our family activities.
I am dying to get my hands on one of these but can’t get the link or site to work! Any ideas whats going on?
I would use this for keeping all of the family’ events together.
I would love to win this calendar. Thanks for the giveaway.
I would use it to plan our family activities.
I love the idea of seeing the whole year in one go. What a great (and simple) idea! I’d use it to plan and dream new schemes.
What a great idea!
oooh I love the colours
I’d use this for my goals ~ taking the workshop for the firs time and am excited about prospect of making and tracking goals

I am still on the hunt for the perfect calendar to keep track of all of our activities as a family – let’s hope this is it!
Great Calendar I would love it for work
I’m not sure how I’d use it, but I’m with you I’m always trying to improve efficiency and organization and this tool sounds like a good one.
I would use it to track kids school schedules, hubby’s work travel schedule and family birthdays, as well as everyday things that needed recorded where everyone could see them!
I would use the calendar for our many family activities!
i think that’s going to look great in my tiny office cubicle!
I’d use it to plan both work and family commitments, in addition to meal planning -/ which is a New Year’s resolution in the making! Thanks!
This is pretty cool. I’ve made huge (6′x 4′-ish) dry erase monthly calendars for my kids on dry erase easel-board sheets that we taped together. They are extremely useful, but this would be very cool to have in a central location for the whole family to use.
This calendar would be great for keeping track of my busy family’s extracurricular activities!
With baby #2 due in February, it would be a life-saver to have all the family appointments and activities on one page – sounds wonderful!
what a cool idea
I love the idea of seeing an entire year at a glance. I would use it for long-range planning.
Would use it in the kitchen so all could see what was planned!
Wow! Looks like a great calendar for staying organized! Thanks for a chance to win!!
This is fantastic! It would be great for keeping track of vacations at work. Our online request system is set up the same way with week by week view instead of months.
I would love a dry erase version!
I would hang the dry-erase version in our camper (our home) for mapping out our travel, my husband’s tour caddying schedule, my work, and our goals. Love it!
I would love this calendar (dry-erase). I have a 1 month white-board one, but would love to see the whole year – and yes, I think in weeks!
Also, we are moving away from using an online schedule, so this would be useful to the whole family. Thanks!
It’s a great calendar to keep up with everyone in the family! I would use it every. single. day.
Oh, this is neat! I’d hang it on a door and use my best handwriting
This would be great for keeping track of family activities!
I would use this calendar to coordinate events with my husband!
Wow! I love any new organizing tgools and this is a great one!
I have been looking for the perfect calendar and this could be it. I would use it for tracking everything I like to track. Movies we watched, garbage and recycle day, appointments and holidays/birthdays.
Love this — so handy to have by your desk!
I am expecting my first baby in February, so I would use this to organize all of the new mommy stuff I will have in my life!
What a cool calendar – thanks for the discount code, and better still, a chance to win!
I would use this thing for EVERYTHING!! I’m a calendar person. I need to visualize it to make it happen lol. Thanks for the giveaway!
Being in the medical field, I enjoy giving a large first aide kit with extra bandaids for the car, boat, purse, garage or any outdoor activity.
Looking forward to 2013 as to organizing and reaching task dates.
This definitely looks like it’s worth further investigation!
What a great idea!
This calendar would be awesome for keeping track of everything for our family!!
Just the idea of visually seeing what’s happening in the weeks and months ahead will hopefully manage time more efficiently.
This is a great calendar. I’d love to have one.
It’s definitely going to be my goals calendar for 2013!
I would use this calendar to keep my life organized! Big enough that I shouldn’t loose track of my schedules!

Dawn

This is brilliant! I’d use this to keep track of everything for my family.
I’ll be using it to plan all of our homesteading events and tasks – everything from when our cow is birthing to when I should be planting (and harvesting) what. I’m totally a new homesteader and trying to wrap my head around the timing of things is tough. What a fantastic tool this would be!
I would love a good looking horizontal full-year calendar! What a find!
I woud use this for a work schedule, as my schedule is often chaotic.

I think this is a great idea. I like being able to look at the months and see what I’ve got going on.

I already have one!!
I would love to use this calendar to coordinate all my notes for Project Life in 2013. Love that it goes by week!!
I’d like to have a visual representation of my schedule to glance at every day in my office. I’m so used to having digital reminders, so it would be nice to have one place to collect everything in writing!
Yes, I can imagine tracking my progress towards my goals on this amazing calendar! Thanks for the opportunity.
We can FINALLY track all our family activities with one sweep of the eyes!!! I’m a visual girl. I must have this calendar!
I am a visual girl too and this sounds like a winner!
My niece is getting married in June and there is a karate tournament in July – Both have weight loss goals and this would be the perfect way to track them. (along with other goals for the year).
I would definitely use the calendar to organize my crazy family! With 2 children with special needs and 2 without, there are lots of appointments and events.
Love this for planning medical missions and seminars(work) and holidays and get-aways with the hubby(yay!). Thanks for the give away!

I would use it to keep track of our families different schedules- 2 adults and 2 teens- it can get confusing!

I would use this calendar to plan out the kids’ schedules, so that our entire family is on the same page.
Thank you for the chance to enter!
I tend to forget about future things until it’s difficult — or too late! — to plan for them. This calendar would be a great way to eliminate that problem!
I would use it for planning with our administrative team in our very busy middle school office! It would be perfect for the hub of our school. I would include field trips, team meetings, PTO meetings, admin vacations, and I could go on!
Pick me!
I use the family calendar Cozi, but I need a calendar for all the projects Id like to accomplish around the house. It would be great too because its a dry erase, so things can move around.
I would use the calendar to plan for personal time, couple time, time with extended family and friends. I also want to start planning some long weekend trips away.
I love this idea. I would use it for meal planning and keeping the kid’s schedules organized.
