Paper Calendars

[jujube]

I use both. There's a paper calendar hanging on the pantry door in the kitchen that has all the appointments and events. I also enter everything on my phone calendar. I'm sort of like the person who wears both a belt and suspenders......I need a backup.

Both my husband and I use the ipad calendars and have the Family link to enter significant items from our calendars with each others. Because our calendars are also linked to our phones, if we‘re out and need to look up availability for an appointment, it’s easy and entered right away.

There are a variety of other calendars I can turn on. Birthdays, travel, etc. When we travelled, it was my diary. It also sends an alert about birthdays or appointments.

I take reuse, reduce, recycle to the ultimate. 2 favourite calendars (Border Collies and Vancouver scenes) are "recycled - with printed current year's month taped over the previous years' months.

 

[NorthernLight]

Yes. It just seems easier.

Here in BC, the provincial insurance corporation distributes free calendars, with beautiful photos of classic cars. So, yes.

 

[JustBonee]

I wouldn't be without.
I hang a GIANT- size wall calendar .... it shows the current month w/ plenty of room for jotting notes, and the bottom part shows the 12 months.
I just ordered my 2023 calendar of the same.

 

[JaniceM]

Yes. It wasn't too many years ago I received freebies from Betty Crocker, etc. But for the last couple of years the only one I've received was from a place called Unity in Missouri. Otherwise I buy one from Target or the dollar store.

 

[IrisSenior]

I have a frame in the kitchen for the big calendar - I like the scenic pics
The fridge has a calendar attached to a magnet - all appointments, son's work times, garbage/yard waste, dentist/doctor and dining out with people are listed
I have a bird calendar in the master bedroom bathroom
A Beatles calendar in the family/tv room downstairs
The calendar on my phone has everything the fridge calendar has as well as personal appts. for me
I would be lost without my paper calendars!

 

[ronaldj]

yes, one on my desk where I jot down little things I do each day. have several years worth. when there is a crime I can tell you were I was for the last 15 years.

 

[katlupe]

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

Actually, I did this for my whole life. When I was younger I did more things so I always bought calendars with big blocks. And yes, I did go back and look at them over the years. Sometimes it was because someone had died or was out of my life and I liked looking at what we did together. It was only recently that I took a big box of calendars that went back to the 70's and put them in the dumpster. I figure they were of no interest to anyone but me and I have to get rid of stuff.

The reason I do it now is because I need to remember when I did something last or when I last saw my son. It has been helpful.

 

[HoneyNut]

Yes, I didn't think I would on my travels so I threw all my paper calendars away when I set out on my journeys, but I missed having a paper calendar so later bought one from Amazon that has a magnetic strip to hold it on the hotel refrigerator.

I also have a calendar app pinned on the taskbar of this chromebook and I use it for a birds eye view of the whole year.

Although I have not been using the google calendar app, this thread motivated me to look at it. Turns out my phone and email are coordinated with the google calendar and it is already populated with my reminders and my hotel reservations.

Is it the large desk one? I have one of those, and by the end of the year, I add it to a pile of calendars. I could literally go back (and have done so) to check on dates, like when I bought or ordered something, etc. I even use it to remind me when to pay bills, etc. I always check it daily. I am happy with it. The calendar wall ones' boxes are too small to write in.

 

[Manatee]

I use a 2 year pocket calendar, which also functions as an appointment calendar and a diary. Right handy and there is no battery to monkey with.

Well..... I imagine that was quite a load.
I've done the same, then thought wonder if the great grands would've found interest.....and some fam history.

So glad you review yours
Wife and I quiz each other on events and such
Oftentimes it'll dawn on one of us later.

'MARCH TWENTYSEVEN.....1980!'

 

[Michael Z]

Yes, we do! On one, we write important dates and appointments. The other has Saturday Evening Post prints for each month - neat to look at!

 

[Ruthanne]

I have 2 paper calenders. I always get them near the later part of the year from non profit agencies. I don't put anything on them anymore nor do I use electronic calenders. Instead I make handwritten notes of my appointments and also things I need to do.

I do hang the calenders up though because I like the nice pictures.

 

[Mizmo]

I print the 12 months letter size off my computer for free and keep in a soft three ring binder from the dollar store.
I also got the little punch for the holes in dollar store.
When the month is done file it at back behind December. With printer paper there is enough room to file two years .
I have found that a boon more than once in the last couple of years.
I also have daily reminders on computer but really prefer to have paper calendar as opposed to one on the computer.

 

[Victoria]

Yes. Life is not the same without a wall calendar. I love being able to clance up at the calendar during the day to see if there's anything I need to do/remember.

 

[terry123]

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.

Me too. I donate to a few charities and have already received 4 2023 calendars and planners.

 

[Chet]

Paper here. I'll be buying them soon with any outdoor and nature scenes to my liking. It's wall art that changes monthly. I use them to record appointments etc. too.

 

[MickaC]

I have always had a paper calendar, of which I buy a nice one for my calendar frame every year, always of birds.
Never use my phone for that.
I never write on my calendars……have a place for appointments, etc……out where I see them……every Sunday I put the ones coming up for the week to the front.

 

[horseless carriage]

Do you still use paper calendars?

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

Of course, important dates are scribbled into each square. There again I use a road map even though the car has a satnav. E-mail, I don't, preferring to write a letter. Luddite? Who me?

 

[NorthernLight]

It's wall art that changes monthly.

Yes, I don't have any art or photos up, because I'd get thoroughly sick of them. But a nice picture that changes monthly is fine.

 

[Lawrence]

My wife and I use paper calendars, I like the small ones that will fit into my coat pocket. My wife keeps a big one on the door of the deep freeze in the kitchen. We put all the appointments, birthdays, meetings, and all kinds of information on it.

 

[Bretrick]

Yes, I do. I make my own at K Mart using my own photographs.
