slo’s FRIDAY 7/14 poll - Personal Calendar

[slo]

As many know, I manage a Chiropractor’s office and I see people use different calendars. I’d say 70% use their phone, 15% use a pocket calendar, 5% use a large personal planner (I have one lady that uses a binder) and 10% take a reminder card and say they’ll write it on their wall calendar at home.

So….this leads me to ask…..what type of calendar(s) do you use to keep your life organized?
(multiple choice)



For Me…..I have 2 phone calendars that I use and my desk pad calendar at work
*the family calendar we use is an app called Cozi that all 3 of us have on our phone. Each of us enter things in this calendar to keep the family on track with knowing what’s going on with each of us. We’ve been using this for about 10 years now.
*the second calendar I use is the standard one on my iPhone. I use this to remind me to do every day things that I know I would forget. I like getting reminders that basically say….hey lady - it’s time to Miracle Grow the flowers or it’s time to color your hair or it’s time to water the indoor plants. Life moves so fast that these reminders are a must for me (along with notes on the counter too - LOL!)
*I have my large desk pad calendar that I write important dates to remember for personal and work on it. Different events get different colors - my boss makes fun of it - LOL!

I leave notes around my computer or write it down on my kitchen wall calendar.

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

I don't have a huge schedule, and I kind of use a combination of things.

I use post it notes, wall calendar, my phone, and commit things to memory. For work we have that "Teams" calendar.

 

[LoveDaisy]

I do not use a calendar. I’m probably about to jinx myself but I’ve never missed an appointment or plans I have made. I just repeat the appointment 3 times (out loud) and it sticks in my brain.

 

[Wood Nymph]

I have a standard 9x11 wall calendar that I use to keep track of all of the families' activities. I also use the calendar that came with my iPhone. It is easier to glance at the wall calendar than to pick up the phone and scroll through everything.

I used to keep a Franklin Covey day planner with detailed calendar activities, almost like a diary. I did that for years until my life became less exciting.

 

[PollyannaMom]

I use a wall calendar, a weekly planner (binder-style that stays at home), and the calendar that came with my phone.

I would remember nothing if I didn't write it down!

 

[loves to dive]

I use the calendar on my phone, it syncs with the one on my laptop and with my hubby's calendar.

 

[easyas123]

I use a digital calendar at the office, but I also keep a small binder type calendar with me all the time and it's what I put EVERYTHING in - work & personal. I prefer the written calendar.

 

[soccerdad72]

iPhone calendar and, for work, Outlook calendar. We send “meeting notices” to each other in our family so we’re on the same page

 

[Meriweather]

Wall calendar.....in the kitchen (and always a Disney one).
That is the main calendar with all our appointments and plans on it.
I also use a wall calendar that is not on the wall for vacation plans.
And stick all the appointment cards on a wall by the main calendar.
In my home office by my computer is my large desk calendar. It has just things that I need to do and remember on it

 

[disneychrista]

For work I use the calendar in outlook. There are things that only have to be annually that I set a reminder for so they don’t get forgotten.

On my phone I use the reminders app for things like daily medication reminders and the calendar for appointments.

 

[wenrob]

Calendar App that syncs to the native app on my phone. Back when I first installed it the native app did not have predictive text or color coding and this did. Everyone has their own color and they all sync to everyone’s devices. A quick glance tells us who has what when. I pretty much use it as my reminder app because I can’t figure out the stupid reminders app. I don’t take appointment cards anymore, I just put appointments in the calendar on the spot. Haven’t used a physical paper calendar in over a decade. Notes is another story, I have them all over the place on whatever happens to be nearby.

 

[Praying Colonel]

At work I use Outlook. For personal stuff I use Apple's calendar app that syncs between my phone and Macbook.

 

[NAB]

I’m a take a card write it on the wall one at home. Always use the big family one .

Everything goes on that thing. I thought after the kids left wouldn’t need it but we do. Our garbage pick up schedule is on it , all appointments, etc. It has a big writing spot too.

 

[The Mayor]

iPhone calendar and white board on the wall by our back door. If it’s not on those two then it doesn’t exist!!

 

[Forevermarypoppins]

I'm still old school in that I buy and use a wall calender.

There are things I like to put on my phone calender but I do not rely on that for appointments.

 

[WDWEPCOT]

Pocket calendar for when I’m out and make appts and wall calendar for everything - I keep all my wall calendars over the years and often they have come in Handy looking something up as my whole life is on that calendar

 

[ronandannette]

No personal calendar. Many of our commitments are routine (volunteer work, for example) so it’s easy to remember. Social stuff is exciting and never slips my mind and medical appointments and the like are during the work day so they go in my work calendar (Outlook).

 

[CGB]

I keep a desk calendar on my desk at school during the school year. Personal appts. go in my phone. When our kids were younger and cell phones didn't have that capability yet, I used to tape a desk-size calendar to the freezer door on the fridge. It was the only way to keep up with practices, games, appts, conferences, rehearsals, plays, etc. etc. etc.

 

[Dan Murphy]

Digital calender on phone, desktop, laptop, tablet, all sync.
