It is good to see that the Chronodex is still going strong with the release of the first half of the year 2025 version now available. The Chronodex is a clock-shaped calendar designed to help you visualise and manage your time more effectively.

Scription Chronodex Weekly Planner Jan – Jun 2025 Released

The format of the downloads are primarily meant for the Midori Traveller Notebook system (Patrick is associated with the Traveller Company), but it can be used without by printing out and using an elastic band to hold the pages together.

This is a productivity tool that I have used on and off for a good number of years now. From printing out the half year versions, I have moved to a stamp version I can put into my journal when needed using an ink pad and a steady hand.

I use the Chronodex as it has a visual appeal, with its circular design giving an engaging visual overview of how you are spending (or spent) your time, allowing easy review to check productivity vs getting the tasks done that need to be done. Using a colour code system helps quickly identify the most important tasks and see how the time is distributed across different activities.

I could very well achieve the same things using modern tools and AI, but occasionally it’s good to keep my hand in writing rather than typing and I don’t want to be tethered to a device 24 x 7 just to check a schedule.
