Your Multichannel Contact Strategy Chart
Number the weeks one through 52. You'll find week numbers to be handy for reference throughout the year, plus you're ensured to never accidentally miss a week. To save time, only fill in the first week's start and end dates because you can calculate all the other dates simply by adding seven. And before filling in any holidays, save the entire first three columns as "values." (In Excel, use the "Paste Special" command.) Then you can add rows in between weeks without messing up formulas or losing dates.
