10 of the most inspiring 2021 calendars for women
Now that the concept of time is a confusing cluster, calendars are all the more important for keeping some sense of forward progress.
Luckily for us, a new crop of clever calendars are released every year, and I don’t know about you, but I need something inspiring to get me through 2021. In case you’re wondering, I’m a big fan of calendars. And, yes, I do use digital calendars as well, but as a visual person, I’ll always welcome the paper versions for my walls. The way I see it, calendars are a two-fer: After the year’s up, I frame my favorite pages as wall art.
Here are some of my favorite inspiring and motivational 2021 calendars.
