A class calendar built from one schedule

A yoga studio we build for prints a class calendar for the wall every month. Somebody used to sit down and rebuild it by hand, one box at a time, and then do it again in four weeks.

The schedule lives in one place now. The printable month, the daily images and the class list on the website all come out of that one place.

See It Run

The Same Month, Twice

The hand-made sheet is the one the studio used, rebuilt every month in a document editor. The other is the same month, generated from the schedule.

A month calendar built by hand in a document editor. Class times run past the edges of their day boxes and the legend sits under the grid. — **By hand** Rebuilt every month in a document editor. Text overruns its own boxes, a long day spills into the day beneath it, and a class that changes has to be found and fixed everywhere it appears.

The same month generated from the schedule. Every class sits inside its own day, with a color key for what is included and what costs extra. — **Generated** Built from the schedule. Every class sits inside its own day, the key means the same thing every month, and nothing on the sheet was typed twice.

The studio's name is changed on both sheets.

What One Schedule Produces

A class moves from Tuesday to Wednesday in one row of the file. Everything else is rebuilt from that row, so there's no second place to remember.

The sheet for the wall Sized for a printer, with every class inside its own day and the color key in the same corner every month.
An image for each day One per day, named by date, so tomorrow is easy to find in a folder on a phone.
The words that go with the post The caption comes from the same schedule, so the times under the picture are never typed a second time.
The listing on the website The site reads the same schedule, so the class list is never typed into a second place.

Run the Math on Your Own Jobs

Think of one thing your business rebuilds every month, and one thing it redoes every week. The boxes start at two hours, one hour and ten jobs. Put your own in.

Hours it takes each month Hours it takes each week How many jobs like this you have

That one job a month

That job, over a year

All of them a month

Weekly hours are counted at 52 weeks a year. Working days are eight hours.

What could you automate next?

That's one job at one studio. There are others like it in most businesses: a spreadsheet rebuilt every month, an email retyped every week. Nobody was hired to do them.
