When I read The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People for the first time, I stumbled upon the calendar, described in Habit 3 (\u201cPut First Things First\u201d), I thought at first, I could make a photocopy of displayed calendar in the book. My second thought was: I might be able to create a spreadsheet in Excel, just a static one, and change the dates each week.<\/p>\n
I am web applet developer, and I know how Excel works, so I thought, I might be able to create a much finer Excel sheet. To save me some time, I Googled to find out if somebody has done something similar, and guess what: there was! No need to reinvent the wheel. Unfortunately, I don’t remember where I found the spreadsheet – so: unknown author, thank you!<\/p>\n
After a few weeks, I discovered an error: each month had 31 days. After September 30th 2014, I had a day called September 31st. I found a very simple workaround: just override the formula and write \u201c1\u201d in the field which currently has value 31. And change 2 into 1, and so forth. Problem solved for the time being.<\/p>\n
The spreadsheet consisted of five pages.\u00a0I decided to remove the pages for next week<\/em> and the week after that<\/em>, because I found three week planning is colliding with Dr. Coveys \u201cone day at a time<\/em>\u201d. I also removed the first tab, that only contained some information about the origins of the calendar.<\/p>\n The last sheet only contained some graphics, used on the other pages. I decided to get rid of the graphics, and use \u201ctext-only\u201d formulas. So I reduced the 5 tabbed sheet to two sheets. That worked fine.<\/p>\n In the meanwhile, I tried to find out if there was some online system to create a Covey Calendar. And I didn\u2019t find anything. Well, there are some sites that achieve the same purpose, but they do not result in the one sheet calendar as Dr. Covey described. And that is where I started to think about Kairosplanner.com.<\/p>\n The name I found was very easy. In Coveys book \u201cFirst Things First\u201d (and perhaps also in The 7 Habits?), he describes the difference between the Greek words Kronos and Kairos. Kairos means \u201cimportance\u201d while Kronos means \u201cTime\u201d. As Dr. Covey says: \u201cDo not prioritize your schedule, but schedule your priorities\u201d. To put that in other words: make a Kairos Plan, not a Kronos Plan. Unfortunately, I waited too long to buy the domain name KairosPlan.com. Bad luck. But I got KairosPlanner.com.<\/p>\n So that is the story behind KairosPlanner.com. I don\u2019t know anything yet about the legal rules, copyright and so on, but well, in first case I am not making KairosPlanner for other people than myself. Sure, I will make it possible to log on with your own mail address. But first I will finish programming on KairosPlanner.com, then I will try to discuss the possibilities with the company that has copyright on The 7 Habits, FranklinCovey Inc.<\/p>\n On the next pages, you can follow my journey in this project. I hope. If I find it necessary to write. Most texts will be boring, technical and nerdish. But hey, I am a nerd. \ud83d\ude42 But I will try to make it fun too. And interesting.<\/p>\n Best regards,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Albert van Harten When I read The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People for the first time, I stumbled upon the calendar, described in Habit 3 (\u201cPut First Things First\u201d), I thought at first, I could make a photocopy of displayed calendar in the book.
