Lotus Notes allows you to look at your calendar in many different formats.  The options are divided up into groups based on Day, Week, and Month.

To switch to a different view, click on the underlined word "Day", "Week", or "Month" in the tabs at the top of the calendar view.

If you want to choose a specific type of view from one of the groups, click on the triangle next to the word, and you will be presented a list of choices that you can select from.

My personal favourite is the two-day view.   It lets me know what I have to do today, as well as allows me to think ahead about what I have coming up tomorrow.   I can also see multiple time zones.   I sometimes switch to the 5 day work week view to get a quick glance at what my entire week looks line, and for longer term planning (booking trips, looking at my weekends), I switch to the month view.

In case you are a new reader to this site, or if you just need a refresher, I thought I'd link back to a few previous topics which provide details about how you can configure what the various views display: Calendar Preferences - Display Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3.   Similarly, here are some posts which will help you navigate around your calendar: Navigating Your Notes Calendar - Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3.

Which is your favourite calendar style and why?  Is there a format missing that you would like see?
