The Planning Journal · Annual & Perpetual Calendars
Should your next calendar be dated for 2027, or one you can use year after year?
Annual calendars are dated for a single year. Perpetual calendars are undated, so you simply flip to today’s page every year. Here’s how they compare and who each one suits best.
