Yes I still use a paper calendar every day. It is called a Magic Eye calendar. I order it by mail every year. It is cool because you can see the main image for each month in 3D if you focus your eyes on it just right. It's supposed to be good exercise for your eyes and it is fun too.

Yes I still use paper calendars for appointments and reminders of different birthdays. I think paper calendars are more better then the calendars on your phones or computers.

That and also the smaller ones that are spiral bound.  I can make notes of when things happened, when I paid something, when I cash out on here lol, when I am suppose to do things.  And nobody can access it like they can an online calendar.  And the wall ones are like you said so cute. lol

Yep I do. I like the flower calendars because after I'm done with them I put them up on my wall. I have 2 this year: a birds with flowers and a Peanuts calendar. Going to keep the Peanuts one though and put it in my collection after the year is over.

Paper calendars are the only type calendars I use.  I don't bother with the calendar on my computer.  I can look at the wall and see what day it is instantly.  Every year I buy calendars with pictures of kitties. :cat: They are darling to look at and they add art to my wall.

I always have a calender hanging in my kitchen, and I do not always have paper calenders, but fortunately for me this year I have a paper calender hanging in my kitchen.

They are pretty.
I have a Spanish one home made from Mexico.

Yes, I still use them.  I like to have them for the artwork on them, but I also write on them too.

Post by: jmccaskill on February 23, 2014, 02:02:19 pm
Yes, and always will. We are becoming way to reliant on 'all things electronic' in my opinion. There is gong to come a time when the electric grid becomes either unreliable or completely down. It is no secret the in the US 'the grid' has been totally neglected and is in dire need of being reworked. Outages might be sporadic and could be very widespread and for significant durations. Being prepared for such an event is not paranoid or a 'pepper mentality', just common sense. Imagine not being able to use a credit/debit card and having NO cash on hand... pen and paper will be the ONLY method there is for you...
Title: Re: Do you still use paper calendars?
Post by: lbeery on February 23, 2014, 02:59:45 pm
Yes, I definitely do.  Both my husband and I have crazy work schedules so we have resorted to writing down which days we are working and what time we have to leave.  That way we both know what the other has to do the next day and if we can take the "cheap" car to work or not  I just am not used to using a computer for this and the calendar is always "on" when it is hanging on the frig.

Yes I do, cannot hardly deal without my wall calendar.  Still a must have.

Yes I still use paper calendars.  My sister makes a family calendar each year and gives one to each sibling at Christmas time.  It's most valuable for all sorts of events.  I love it.

Post by: cwillard1 on February 24, 2014, 07:15:40 am
Yes I use them at wall art also.  It brightens up my desk area at work.
Title: Re: Do you still use paper calendars?
Post by: lvstephanie on February 24, 2014, 07:24:51 am
Yes, I think they are easier to take a quick glance to see if anything important is going on that day (or even that week, esp. if it's something you may want to prepare for prior to the actual date). With online calendars (including those on a phone) are more cumbersome to use just to look at the week for special things. Plus the paper calendars usually have interesting art/pictures so it doubles as wall decoration as well.

Yes, definitely. I hate the over-reliance on electronic gadgets, and often low-tech things like calendars are much easier and quicker to use.
Title: Re: Do you still use paper calendars?
Post by: kingozzy on February 24, 2014, 09:24:40 am
Yes I do, its easy to look on the wall for the date at work, that's where I use mine.
Title: Re: Do you still use paper calendars?
Post by: kapeh12 on February 24, 2014, 09:28:43 am
Yep, I have a few paper calendars.  One in my kitchen just because it's a convenient place I'm often in when I'm planning household chores/maintenance.  I keep a stand-up calendar on my home office desk for convenient checking of the date and scrolling for future dates when planning work meetings.  And I have a big desk calendar I use to note down everything - including hobby stuff like recording premieres of tv shows for a contest I'm in.

Way easier to see everything in pen/paper at a glance.

I use my phone calendar to record appointments I make while away from the house, but then immediately get them transferred to my desk calendar.

I actually have two. A pocket calendar that stays in my purse that I list all of our medical expenses, volunteer hours etc so at the end of the year I can figure it up. then we have a big one on the wall in our room with doctor app., birthdays and pay days for my husband.

Post by: CharmedPhoenix on February 24, 2014, 01:54:35 pm
I post three paper calendars so I can just look up and reference it when planning.  I also like the art and quotes.  I've also created calendars, featuring my photography, for my Zazzle store.  :rainbow:

Yes I still use my paper calendars.  I have one on our bulletin board for the FAMILY KEEP IT ALL STRAIGHT SCHEDULE and another one by my computer with my daily appointments etc.

I cannot imagine NOT having one.

Post by: swogden on February 24, 2014, 04:21:09 pm
Yes, I use paper calenders.  I have a pocket calendar that I carry around with me and use as a reference when making appointments.

I also have one wall calendar that I created on my PC -- just boxes for days of each month (no pictures).  Discovered it was easier to maintain and cross check with the pocket calendar because the boxes are large enough to make notes but it's only 8.5*11. (one page for each month)

I have other calendars with pictures -- but don't use them -- just enjoy the pictures.

I don't use paper calendars anymore although they have some really cool ones - am always tempted to get the one with the firemen on it oooh never mind - moving on  8) - I am more apt to get a planner that I can carry around with me and write stuff on it.

My partners at work provide me with a company branded calendar, so I always decide to use this. I also use a free custom 8 1/2 by 11 paper calendar in my office to scribble and highlight on. Of course, I predominantly use my digital calendar on my smartphone for important reminders.

Post by: lmrbean on February 26, 2014, 10:04:42 pm
Yes, I have one taped to the side of the refrigerator and write appointments and other important info on it.  Have a pretty linen one on the wall, though.

Yes I still use them for the same reason it has been used in the past. It is hard to use technologies but you can't beat what's already written on paper. All you need is a reminder that you are going  to have a Dr.'s appointment next week.

Post by: sak4kat on February 27, 2014, 08:21:23 am
I consider myself a calendar dork.  I have them everywhere.  You know how you can become overloaded with technology... I think calendars have that affect on me.  I use a breakfast and lunch calendar for my kids school.  A paper calendar in my bedroom with appointments and important information - another school calendar that just floats around the kitchen and the calendar in google doc's.  If I had a smart phone I'd probably be using a calendar in there too.  My 7 year old was given her first calendar this year from highlights magazine.  It became a ritual for her to mark days off from the one in my bedroom so my husband figured it was time she get her own.  It's turned out to help her soooo much.  She has ADD and knowing what's going on in advance so she can prepare for things has settled her down in that mentally she's a little organized.

Yes, they are very helpful for my household. My husband has a very busy schedule and I also have things to do, so it helps the both of us if we write down what's going on each week. That way we know what the other is doing. We have it hanging in our living room, which is very convenient.

I use a Franklin-Covey Planner which proved to be a pain in the you-know-what to purchase this year because they have pretty much closed all of their traditional Brick and Mortar shopping outlets.  Working with them on line took longer then if I had driven to their home office seven hours away (or so it seemed).  I have used their product for over twenty years and this year was the first year that I considered stopping only because the company was so difficult to work with.  I typically have two to three projects working, with two to three different computer systems, and need to write everything down...can't rely on Microsoft outlook.
