Wall calendar girl here. Old school for me. :peace: Besides, it's always in your face that way.

Plus I don't buy them; I get about a dozen or so from the different charities I support.  :heart:

I still use a wall calendar! It's part of my routine to walk by and check it every day before I head out the door!

I like the digital technology, but you can't beat the paper calendar.  I have already shopped and found mine.

Yes I still use a wall calendar. It has big boxes for every day on it so you can write what you have to accomplish each day. I used to use the Magic Eye calendars because they have those big boxes for writing stuff as well as interesting 3D images for each month. But now they are sold through Walmart and the nearest Walmart is too far from my home to go get one.

I still find a wall calendar more useful and easy

Yes, I still use a wall calendar. I get a new LANG calendar every year. They are pretty large and I can see each distinct date on them. Plus they have really beautiful pictures for each month, different depending on which calendar you purchase. This year, however, our very thoughtful insurance agent sent us a beautiful (and free!) Norman Rockwell calendar, which I will enjoy using for this next year.  :peace:

I use both; the calendar on my wall is filled in with my food log contents and my phone's calendar is plugged in with appointments and my daily to do list.

We're to the point where we can really do everything by phone but I still like the feeling of physical notebooks/books/calendars/etc.

I agree about it always being in your face, you can choose whether or not to pick up your phone and always having your face in a phone is not healthy- as I try to tell my son.

I have several sent to me by different charities and a family one with all my grandkids on it.  I also put everything in my phone too!

I do both plus 1.  Depends on where I am-either in my car, kitchen, bedroom.

I have a wall calendar on the back of my desk.  I don't see the picture because the calendar is folded. I like having it where I can see it and know if something is going on I need to be aware of.  I don't always get the notifications on my phone.  Plus I don't want everything in my phone.

I use both.  The wall calendar is basically so I know what day it is.  Appointments are kept on an online calendar.

I use my phone calendar (linked to a Google calendar on the cloud so that I can more easily enter new items at the computer if I am at my desk) for all reminders and appointments and so forth - both personal and work related; I have a desk calendar where I put all of my work related appointments and deadlines (which I then duplicate in my phone/Google calendar). But when I am at my desk at work and need to review a specific date or count out days to a deadline - I ALWAYS find myself referring to the wall calendar behind me to do that.  I have no idea why...

I use both because my husband hates using his phone for many things except talking.  So this way he knows what is going each day with the wall calendar

My parents still do the wall calendar things and my older sister as well but for the younger generation on my side they all just use their phones.

Yes, I love my wall calendars, I have them all the house. I never use the calendar on my phone unless I am away from my house and need to check my calendar.

I like both, the phone is good because you can update from anywhere but there is something way more fun about being able to look back at old calendars you kept on paper.

No, I don't use wall calender's but i do miss the aesthetic appeal of them and might buy one in the future. The phone calendar is just so convenient.

I still use the wall calendars and have one in several rooms.  It's easier for me to glance up and see what needs to be done.

I use a planner from Franklin Covey and have since nineteen ninety three. I have always held two to three jobs (or corporations) and felt it was necessary to set up my daily goals for each. I use the Monarch size (which I get spiral bound at office depot in three month increments-quarterly) which has extra room for note (eight by eleven pages). I use the last page of each month to review everything that happened, worked and/or didn't work which helps me set goals for the upcoming month. I use every Sunday page for a review of the previous week. Each preceding month end's notes are added to the end of the quarter. I inset an additional piece of graph paper at the end of each quarter so that I can keep track of my goal achievement and growth. I still use Microsoft Outlook calendars with each job so that I can do a quick glance and see what meetings are coming up.

I use a pocket calendar, just seems to work best for me; I hardly place any appointments on my phone.

I use both my wall calendar and my phone for keeping track of dates and appointments. I like writing stuff on my calendar, plus, sometimes stuff gets erased off of my phone without me knowing about it.

I keep everything on a Wall Calendar. I also like looking at the scenery on them and it is what I grew up using. I would forget to open my Phone and look. It is so much easier to look on the Wall. You can not miss it.

I still use wall calendars.  I like to be able to have a visual reminder to all of what's going on.
