Free Printable 2021 Monthly Motivational Calendars

I don’t think I’ve ever been so happy to post calendars before. The free printable 2021 monthly motivational calendars are below. Each month has a unique design based on the month. Sorry, but I’m in the U.S. so they’re often US holiday based. There is also a motivational quote on the top of each month. And a small space to set a monthly goal.

I am filled with hope that 2021 is going to be better than 2020. I live in the U.S. and it’s been a crazy year (though I know the whole world has been rocked by COVID, Australia by wildfires, and much more). I think it being a presidential election year in 2020 has made things even worse.

If you’re looking for different calendars, I have plenty:
• Free Printable 2021 Planner
• 2021 Monthly Motivational Calendars (Monday-start)
• 2021 Bimonthly Calendars
• 2021 Quarterly Calendars


Reasons to Get Organized

If you’re printing out calendars, it’s probably because you’re an organized person. Or want to be. 

And there are fabulous reasons to be organized. If you’ve read some of my other content, you know I like it when things are backed by science. So here are some reasons to get organized:

  • It helps you stay focused. Constant clutter introduces stimulus that distract you continually. 
  • It helps you achieve your goals! (Though goal-setting is important…if you need help with that topic, check out “Free Printable Goal-Setting Workbook“.)
  • You’ll get more done. Probably because being organized saves time. Once I finally got organized, I got more done in 3 months than I had in the entire previous year. 
  • It reduces stress. Just looking around a cluttered room or facing an overwhelming to-do list causes your stress rate to jump. Getting organized helps fix that. 
  • Gives you a sense of achievement. I don’t know why this is. Maybe it’s because you’ve saved time and aren’t running around looking- for the fifth time that day- the checkbook. Maybe it’s because you’re actively working towards achieving your goals. Another reason I can think of? No more missing important appointments! 
  • While they don’t claim that a tidy home leads to fitness, an Indiana University has shown that there is a definite correlation. (Though we all know that correlation does not equal causation).

Other ways to get organized

There are a ton of ways to get organized. And I probably have a printable to help you.

• Have a planner! My Free Printable 2021 Planner is a great place to start. 

• Have a meal plan and grocery list. Meal-planning saves time and money. If you’re looking for some planners, check out “Free Printable Meal Planners & Grocery Lists“. 

• Organize your finances. Money is the number one stressor in marriages. Start with my “Free Printable Budgeting Binder.”


Instructions for Calendars

Below there is an image of each month. Just so you can get a preview before you download.

Instructions:
• Print options: regular paper works just fine!
• The file is in pdf below. Just hit the “download” button.
• The default size of these is full-page. However, if you want smaller, simply reduce the print size! If you’re not sure on how much to reduce, check out my post “How to Resize Printables to Fit Your Planner.”

Feel free to comment below with what your favorite month is of the 2021 monthly motivational calendars!

Can you do me a small favor? Can you share this with your friends? Share buttons are all along the top!

I love the October one! But one reader last year said it was creepy. Or, on the converse, which is your least favorite? If I get a lot of feedback about a certain month, I can change the design for next year. Thanks in advance.

    August is my favorite. The motivation for that month is perfect to share with the elementary students I work with. Btw…I live in northeast Georgia. So cool to read where you are. And you’re right, it’s still warm.

    I want to thank you so much for sharing this, I love it. I printed it out for my son who is trying to overcome drug addiction and I wanted to put a calendar on his wall to help him mark each day that he is sober so the quotes are perfect for him to read over and over again. I taped them together 4 in a row and wrote in birthdays and important dates for him. Thank you.

    I like all of them to be honest, but my favorite would have to be May 2021. I am on the road to sobriety and was looking for some motivational pictures and/or quotes to put on my calender and I came across yours and they are perfect. Thank you so much !

      Glad you like May! I think that was one I re-did this year because I didn’t like the old graphics for it.
      Good luck on your sobriety!
      P.s. Love how you spell your name!
