Not everyone is glued to a phone

I have to admit I do like having the calendar on my phone. I might wonder about the date of something years ago and I can look it up very quickly.

I can’t do without my Filofax.

I prefer a hanging calendar too. My phone gives me an alarm, but I like to see the march of time as I push my magnet from next day to next day and see it land on those special days.

To write things on, to have a visual reminder of the timeline, and because the tech doesn’t always work.

As necessary as a phone book.

It’s the first year my electric company hasn’t sent me one! I don’t use it to write on (have Google Calendar for that) but just to see what day it is…sometimes I have it on the wrong month though…

I have a large one on my desk

Reading Woman Calendars for years. For the art. And occasionally a bit of information.

I have a calendar on the computer that tells me when I have to do things. Works out well.

I have notes on the pc. Well, they are stuck to the side of it.

We keep a big one in the kitchen and load it up with all of the appointments, activities and events to come. That way everyone can touch base with it whenever passing through.

Analog clocks and analog calendars give us another sorts feeling for time. Digitals put us right here right now while analogs place us in area of time.

Sure, I can consult my daily diary on my computer or phone for the time and dates but I still prefer to look at my wall calendar for dates and events and my wristwatch or the wall clock for the time … and I don’t have to be concerned about power outages.

There’s a calendar on my wall as much for the pictures as the calendar. Stars, Lions, puppies and kittens. I think my wife might be the same, with her calendar of firemen…

The good ole days….never to come back!

with a wall calendar you never have to worry about data, battery or it being charged.

My granddaughter had a calendar printed for all of us in the family. It has a picture of the person whose birthday it is on the appropriate day. A really nice gift!

Ah, the Good Ol’ Days…

I have a No Kids Hungry calendar hanging in my kitchen. I love the pictures that are made out of food for each month.

Paper is recyclable; calendars made from paper don’t crash, they don’t get viruses and if you read them in sunlight, you’re using renewable energy.

I used to print out my own yearly calendars after New Year’s using Outlook, I believe. You could do it on half-pages and then staple to bind it. Eventually, I transitioned to all digital, once phones got smart enough.

I have a Garfield calendar

Do you know what to get someone who already has everything? A calendar so they know when the payments are due!

I like my wall calendar, I can actually see it….

I use a wall calendar to see upcoming events.

Like my preference for analog over digital watches decades before cell phones, calendars let you see more time at once.

Normally we receive a monthly calendar from the Smithsonian – used to have a membership – but even after we stopped sending donations we kept getting their calendar for years – but none this year (2024). Still belong to Colonial Williamsburg and received their annual calendar – hung it in our home office – until this year (2024) when no calendar arrived.

So with no pretty calendar we hung up the calendar from our township – not pretty, but it does list things such as when there is and when there is not going to be garbage pickup, events, pools open and close for the season, etc. It is used basically as an easy calendar to see what date is when and for appointments etc.

Waaaay back I got a Palm Centro. I still use it at home and when traveling as it has good calendar. Up until a couple of months ago when part of the keyboard went bad I was using it to enter while around the house into it of what I had done for its todos and appointments. It syncs with Lotus Organizer which is THE best computer calendar I have found. Unfortunately LO does not work past Windows XP – so husband setup for me a virtual Win XP machine in my laptop and also one in my desktop computers. I can no longer enter info directly into the Palm, so I keep a notepad note in my android phone of tasks done to transfer into LO on my computer and then I sync same with the Palm so the info is in both. update the LO in my desktop computer and then copy the file to my laptop to update the LO in same so all matches.

I also keep the same calendar info in my Android – entered separately by hand. I keep a “note” in the Android with what was done during the day and tasks to add into the LO and then all is transferred to the Palm when I sync it at the end of the work session.

Then when an appointment has to be set up in my computers/cell phone I have to also make sure husband puts it into his cell phone as it will affect him – even though if it is something just for me to deal with.
