Planning on paper: Gantt and compact calendar for the whole year

We continue to review the cases of planning tools without a computer on paper.

I often meet people who can not plan their business on the computer. With that they can easily do this by planning their activities on paper. Showing them a couple of solutions that coined David Seah, I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that paper planning lovers began to use them constantly.

Gantt

One of the best methods to estimate the required runtime task is a Gantt chart. This simple graph allows you to intelligently allocate their time, and visually easy to evaluate it.

- Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

EXAMPLE Gantt chart:

Gantt (Eng. gantt chartAlso strip chart, Gantt chart) - a popular type of bar charts, which is used to illustrate the plan, the work schedule for any project. It is one of the methods of project planning.

The first format of the chart was developed by Henry L. Gant (Henry L. Gantt, 1861-1919) in 1910.

Found the online tool, simply and beautifully implements the principle of a Gantt chart. Made in Flash, it has a friendly appearance, immediately shows the current time and day of the week, easy to edit. Moreover, even should not be afraid that you accidentally close the window during editing - all settings will still remain (if you have enabled cookies in your browser). And most importantly - the program provides a printed version (that, and why should it be used) in a beautiful, compact form, already marked out for A4 page. As there is an option to PDF.

Compact calendar for the whole year to XLS

The disadvantage of Gantt charts is their non-compactness and complexity of the preliminary assessment of the time. If you want to estimate the number of days, excluding weekends, devoted to the task, how long it will take hours, which days can be excluded from the plan, it is best to use a compact calendar for the whole year, made in the form of a template XLS.
