Tools, Tips and Tricks for Organization

Mom and Dads,

What are you using to keep track of everyday doc appts, birthday parties, soccer practices, classes, schools activites.

Is it new app on your i phone, your digital calendar or a diary in your purse etc.

For me (old fashioned but a life saver) is a giant magnetic monthly calendar on my fridge comes in 18 months. It lets me see the month in advance. Doc appt go in red ink , School appt go in blue ink and everything else is just in plain black.

It helps to have it where we spend the most time.

I use iCal (calendar) on my Mac. I've everything on it from garbage pick-up days, to appointments, to birthdays, upcoming trips, bill payments, etc. You can set an 'alarm' or reminder to send a message however many days or hours before the event. Works perfectly.

I have to get some app for my phone for appts and imp dates!!!

Re: Tools, Tips and Tricks for Organization

I have to put it down in at least two places, as I have way too much going on and can forget.

  1. Cell phone reminder option; and
  2. Old fashion calendar hanging in the kitchen.

I think I need to add a third location - Google Calendar

Re: Tools, Tips and Tricks for Organization

i have everything in my BB. Bill payments, doc appointments, birthdays, when library books are due, etc.

My phone is my life :p

A calendar on the fridge..so much easier and in my face for days when there's too much going on.

Same here: iPhone and giant whiteboard in the kitchen, with a calendar stuck on it...amongst many post-its and nonsensical ramblings i wrote, that i just can't decipher now...
