circling back to say, I tried with the planners and calendars but they just were not for me

they do look so tempting tho with all the pages and places to fill in 

but I have a little clipboard for my today list

it's fun 😊 can be kind of a hobby. You might be surprised at the number of tidbits you will jot down. Lists. Ideas. Plans. I wrote in the notes section in January, a few things I wanted to work on this year. Personal goals.  Every few months I add an update on how it's going. This is just for my own edification, no one else will ever see it.

I already ordered my 2027 calendars in July from Calendars dot com!

Every year I buy a towel calendar to hang in the kitchen, and one for other family members.

For my personal use I have a small pocket calendar, usually for two years. I mark down important dates and appointments. 

I also purchase the Cynthia Hart Victoriana calendar--we have every pretty calendar since they started creating them.

I already have almost all of my 2027 travel planned, although some not in great detail yet. 

Now I am finalizing tickets for events such as the ballet, symphony, concerts, etc.

I am a VERY organized and focused planner!

I use the At a Glance 2-Yr calendars for my purse.  That works best for me, especially if I need to go back and find something. I like seeing each month in full. 

I recently was trying to figure out when I had a particular medical procedure done.  Due to how I wrote it in my calendar, I would've never found it had it been in my phone digitally.  Nope, I didn't write down Colonoscopy.  I wrote down what time I needed to be at the hospital.  I was able to go back into my old calendars (yes, I keep them all), and find exactly when my last colonoscopy was.  

We're all wired differently, and no one way is overall better.

@Icegoddess  I save them too - for 5 or 6 years.  They come in handy sometimes.

I have a calendar on the fridge but also make note of things on the calendar on my IPad, I have yet to figure out the calendar on my IPhone.

I live by our wall calendar on the side of the refrigerator!  First thing I do each morning, even before coffee, is look at the calendar for the days " to do" list.

@smoochy  Most of my planners are undated but I couldn't resist the purple florals of Kellofaplan's new 2027 Whimsical Blooms dashboard layout planner. 

I started an undated Faith Planner on September 1st, from Happy Planner's Rise & Align line. And I began Scripture Writing, which doesn't require buying a thing, but I came across Copy Bible and it is perfect. I am doing Ruth & Esther now. I will definitely order another when I've completed these two books.

Lots of beautiful stickers... I'm still working on being a sticker gal... lol

this all sounds so interesting 😊 the discipline to stick with any Christian/faith based daily activity is admirable. 

I have perused the Happy Planners-some pretty cool offerings 😍

@smoochy  - Consistency is a challenge, especially when my schedule is different than usual.

I knew I needed & wanted to do more related to the Bible but I wasn't sure how to choose and then I learned about Scripture Writing. Copying the Bible word for word... Handwriting forces us to slow down and it allows for better understanding and memory.

@willdob3 - Have been interested in scripture writing but dragging my feet getting started. Thanks for info. I will check out Copy Bible.

the 365 days of puppies?

I'm 365 days of cats

I'm down to just getting one mini wall calendar that's 'animal babies'.   I really don't need it but I like having it there on the end of one of my kitchen cabinets where some prior owner of the house put a hook in the wood.   I'd have never put a hook on the outside of  my cabinets, but at least using it makes it less awful. 

I probably use the calendar the most a few times a day when I'm trying to remember what day it is when I'm planning kitchen stuff.
