The art of organization starting next year. Prepare for the New Year with a minimalist palm calendar.

The end of the year is near. Please take a moment to check your desk.

Piles of materials, snacks from sometime ago, pens out of ink, etc. . . umm...I can feel the signs of the Master's Day coming on. Why is it so messy? Next year, I'll get organized! If you think so, you might want to start by reviewing the tools you use.

For example, for calendars that tend to be bulky, it is good to use Shinohara Paper Works' "palm calendars.

This compact desk calendar is square in shape and fits in the palm of your hand. The calendar is simple, with only the date and day of the week inside, and the two-month display is also a nice touch. This kind of calendar is more convenient for work use.

The best feature of this product is that it has no rings, so there are no bumps when folded, and it lies flat. This is the "Z-fold" method. Another highlight is the high level of die-cutting that only a bookbinding company can provide.

You can buy one personally or buy them in bulk to distribute in your office. They can also be personalized, so you may want to print your company name on them.

Getting started early is the fastest way to get organized. How about starting by getting a calendar?
