Abstract

The present invention provides color-codeable calendars/journals and systems. A calendar/journal system in accordance with the present invention includes a graphical color codeable key that can be used to visually associate a color with an act or event. The calendar/journal also includes a graphical module that represents a predetermined period of time. The graphical module can be color coded according to the color codeable key to indicated the occurrence of an act or event.

Claims

1. A color-based system for recording information related to a user, the system comprising at least one user-viewable color key that can be color coded to associate one or more predetermined colors with predetermined information related to a user and one or more user-viewable modules that each represents a predetermined period of time, wherein the one or more user-viewable modules are color-codeable according to the user-viewable color key to indicate a predetermined relationship between the information related to the user and the predetermined period of time represented by the user-viewable module.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the one or more user-viewable modules represents a day.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein a plurality of user-viewable modules are arranged to represent a week.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein a plurality of user-viewable modules are arranged to represent a month.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein a plurality of user-viewable modules are arranged to form a calendar.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the color key comprises a plurality of user definable fields that each correspond with a plurality of color codeable fields of each of the one or more user-viewable modules.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the user-viewable color key and the one or more user-viewable modules are simultaneously viewable by a user.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein the user-viewable color key and the one or more user-viewable modules are provided on a page of a calendar.

9. A method for recording information related to a user, the method comprising the steps of:

assigning one or more predetermined colors with information related to a user to form a graphical color key;

providing one or more graphical modules, each graphical module representing a predetermined period of time; and

color-coding the one or more graphical modules according to the graphical color key based on the information related to the user to visually indicate a predetermined relationship between the information related to the user and the predetermined period of time represented by the user-viewable module.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the information related to a user comprises information related to a health related goal.

11. The method of claim 9, wherein the information related to a user comprises information related to a habit related goal.

12. The method of claim 9, comprising visually tracking the information related to a user by observing a plurality of color coded graphical modules.

13. The method of claim 12, comprising setting a goal related to the information related to a user.

14. The method of claim 9, comprising arranging a plurality of graphical modules to form a calendar.

15. A method of using a calendar system, the method comprising the steps of:

providing a calendar that comprises one or more graphical modules, each graphical module representing a predetermined period of time, and a graphical key that can be color coded;

color coding the graphical key by assigning one or more predetermined colors with information related to a user; and

color-coding the one or more graphical modules according to the color coded graphical key based on the information related to the user to visually indicate a predetermined relationship between the information related to the user and the predetermined period of time represented by the user-viewable module.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein the information related to a user comprises information related to a health related goal.

17. The method of claim 15, wherein the information related to a user comprises information related to a habit related goal.

18. The method of claim 15, comprising visually tracking the information related to a user by observing a plurality of color coded graphical modules.

19. The method of claim 18, comprising setting a goal related to the information related to a user.

20. The method of claim 15, wherein color-coding the one or more graphical modules comprises using a predetermined color to indicate the occurrence or non-occurrence of an act or event.
