Paper Calendars

[Jules]

Do you still use paper calendars?

I haven’t had one for a few years. Everything goes into my iPad calendar.

 

[Capt Lightning]

Never used the calendar on my laptop. Always have a paper calendar and a year planner. I like to be able to see 'the big picture' at a glance.

 

[Tish]

I have a magnet one, but I don't use it, everything goes on my laptop or tablet.

 

[Lee]

Still use the paper calendar. A small purse type one. Easier to use than flipping back and forth for appointments this month and next month on the phone calendar. Besides it has a picture of a pink dahlia on the cover.

 

[Pinky]

We print out a monthly calendar that is held on the fridge with magnets. This way, we can see appointments, etc. at a glance.

 

[Pepper]

Use paper calendar with extra large grids so the calendar becomes my journal/diary and I am currently going over my life starting with 1983. I now remember everything my husband did wrong that year!

Do you still use paper calendars?

Yes...

 

[Paladin1950]

Of course. I get the large ones for free. I get one from the oil company. Last Christmas, one of my sisters got me a large Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders calendar. An I always keep a small tear page off one next to my computer.

Yes, I have one on the wall right next to me. I write all appointments on it immediately. Also keep track of what I did each day, like vacuuming, groceries, Bingo, etc. All of my bills and my son's are on it and I highlight them in pink after they are paid and cleared my accounts. I also keep track of when my son or Sonny came here or saw them. I never use the calendar on my phone or computer.

Do you still use paper calendars?

No
I used to

I used to get a paper one with huge squares for upcoming stuff
Took quite a bit of time to meticulously fill it all in
then......I realized........that was the only time ever I looked at it


Now?
I copy the yearlong one on the web
Paste it to ms-paint
adjust size
circle dates like SS auto deposits
Very basic

It's on my desktop
I open and zoom in about twice a month



Payday in less than two weeks
(I really don't give a rat's pooper about when, I just wanna make sure those sweethearts at SS are doing their job)

Do you remember when banks and businesses used to give out paper calendars for free?- -Can I get an Amen?- -Why, they had big wall calendars, smaller ones, and even card-sized wallet calendars! Some funeral homes even gave out calendars with religious art pictures, and the name of the funeral home imprinted on the calendar. How thoughtfully grim! “Time passes, and so will you“ seemed to be the underlying message.

Have fun finding free paper calendars today, and store-bought ones can cost you up to $20…

 

[Been There]

I use both.

 

[dobielvr]

Yes
Hangs on my wall in my computer room.

 

[DebraMae]

Yes, I order my New Mexico art calendar every year. Also keep a smaller planner on my desk.

 

[oldaunt]

I enjoy my paper calendars. This year its the Peanuts gang. Last year it was street artist David Zinn. Next years may be Mountain Men of Alaska...

 

[MountainRa]

I still use a paper calendar. I get so many free ones in junk mail, especially from wildlife organizations. I hang the bird one up because the photography is great. Before Covid I could leave the extras at the library for others to take. No more ‘free to take’ table at library.

 

[Lewkat]

Yes. I make many notations on the paper one.

 

[IKE]

I don't really care to mess around with the calendar on this thing and if the truth were known I don't know or want to know how to go about using it anyway......we've got a paper calendar hanging on the wall in the kitchen next to the telephone with squares big enough to write appointments on and that suits us just fine.

 

[Paco Dennis]

Have three on our walls. Notes on them all. We like the Missouri Conservation calendar. Everyday something new is happening in nature.

 

[Jace]

Yes, yes, yes..one of fridge, one on wall beside bed, one in bathroom..here, there & yon.

 

[Don M.]

Our bank gives free calendars every December, and we usually take two. It's handy having a calendar sitting on the desk, near the phone, where we can jot down any appointments, etc., and can tell at a quick glance if/when we need to add any without having something already scheduled.

 

[Geezerette]

Haha, I think I’m a paper calendar addict! I I have wall ones in kitchen & bedroom, used to buy expensive ones but now just Dollartree, a 4x6 28 month planner that opens out into full month pages, and my Daytimer, with the monthly books, 2 page per day style, one side with numbers for daily apts, the other for notes. For me it’s just so much more “immediate” to flip thru paper than trying to scroll thru a phone or tablet.
Even tho I’ve been a computer user & owner since the 1990s!

 

[Pappy]

Every year United Healthcare sends us a small magnetic one we put on our refrigerator. Honestly, we don’t really use it.

 

[Bella]

Yes, I do. I don't have to call it up, it's right there.

 

[Gary O']

Also keep track of what I did each day, like vacuuming, groceries, Bingo, etc.

A sorta diary, eh?
Do you ever look at the history?

Reason I ask is, I pretty much did the same thing
then
it dawned on me..... nobody looks at this.....not even me
