I mostly use my
iPhone for appointments and plans. I like it because I can set reminders and I
always have it with me so I can add to it at any time. I don’t sit at a desk
much during the day, so it is my main reference point for plans. But the iPhone
calendar doesn’t do it all for me. I can’t see my week or month in detail on
one screen. I have to look at a list of events or click on each day
individually. I want to see everything bigger and in more detail. Sometimes I
want to write with a pen.
So I’m back to
trying a paper planner. It’s been about 10 years since I’ve used one of these.
This one is called The Passion Planner and I’m
obsessed with it. It has a page for the whole month, shows each week with room
for tons of detail, provides space for lists (oh I love lists), goal setting and even journaling or sketching! It's so much more than just a calendar.
The only
downside is that it can’t fit in my pocket or purse so I don’t have it with me at all
times to make plans on the fly. There will definitely need to be some overlap with the
iPhone. I’m still trying to figure out how I can use both together, but I love
the idea of being able to open this book and see my plans, lists and goals in
one place.
Do you have any great tips for keeping a calendar? Do you use paper, a computer or
a combination?
we have our family calendar which is what we use for birthdays, and now we have a week-by-week calendar from Pinhole Press with our family pictures in it, and we use that one to keep track of bugs caught, ice cream cones eaten and other hysterical events. it's basically a calendar in reverse.
