Have you Gotten Your 2009 Calendar Yet?

Every January, it seems that everyone I talk to is having calendar issues. I have friends who are missing appointments, not feeling back into the school routine and generally needing someone to kick them in the behind to get going all because they “NEED TO GET A CALENDAR". Being the planning dork that I am, I get my next year’s calendar by August. Did you know that they come out in July? Put that info. in your 2009 calendar right now (assuming you have one), for July. In big black marker letters write at the top of July 2009 “GET 2010 CALENDAR!” It feels good when it’s September and you are scheduling your next dentist appointment for March. The appointment has somewhere to go on your calendar because you already have one. Also, I encourage you to buy one with a pocket on each month (see pic). I have been using these pocket calendars for years. They are simple to use and they work. Got tickets for a football game two months away? Put the tickets in that month’s calendar pocket. Got directions to a birthday party next month? Put it in February’s calendar pocket. Flyer for a church retreat? No problem. It’s a foolproof way to always be able to find invitations, directions, tickets, and other info relating to calendar events.
