I use the calendar on my phone. I make a yearly photo calendar page with the entire year reflected on it for my brother every year from a template I have made.. I will on occasion put a month calendar on my pages as I use a calendar script in PS but in general, hubby keeps us straight with appts. in his day runner

I love that you make a yearly photo calendar page for your brother Christa. I bet he appreciates it.

Do you use a physical calendar? One wall calendar

Do you use an electronic calendar? Google apps

Have you ever made a calendar? few of them, made from templates, some of them for my CT duties.

Google Calendar is what I use on my phone Grace; it's the best! That's fun you've made calendars for your CT duties.

Google Calendar is a good friend of mine. I have zero physical calendars. Partly cause I am indecisive. I swear every dog account I follow on Twitter has their own calendar. How am I supposed to choose?

Google Calendar is my good friend too! I love that you don't have a physical calendar because you'd want ALL the dog calendars haha

 

[umyesh]

yes I've made calendars in the past, but not recently.

We have a calendar on the wall in the hallway. It's for family to put appointment and activity dates on so we can schedule around each other okay.

Our dry erase calendar is used the same way as your hallway calendar, but I'm the only one who adds things to it (unless I forget something; then my oldest will add it herself or tell me to add it).

I have one calendar in my house. It is paper and is made to fit in a 3 ring binder. It sits on my desk. I do put some things on a google calendar but find I don't use it much at all.

I tend to write appointments on sticky notes and put them on the refrigerator so they are in my face all the time. Or just put the appointment card on the fridge for the few appointments I have. Boring life here.

The sticky notes are a great idea! You reminded me that I also stick reminders on our garage door (since our fridge front isn't magnetic).

 

[umyesh]

No more physical calendars in my house. I do keep one at my desk at work. But personally we've moved to Google calendar. We have our own personal ones and then we have a shared family one for appointments and stuff too.

I love all the notifications I get so I don't forget anything

That's nice you all use Google Calendar! I need to get my kids to use it with me so we can keep each other informed.

We don't have any hanging in our house anymore. I kinda miss it a little bit, because sometimes you just need to see a whole month at a time or flip pages to see future months, you know?

I keep everything in my Google calendar now and I do love that. I'd be lost without all of that information at my fingertips and having my hubby's calendar and my kids calendars all in one place is wonderful.

The only place I have a physical calendar anymore is in my office at work. I found a calendar made by one of my new favorite artists for next year and basically demanded my hubby order it for me and give it to me for Christmas. I can't wait to see her pretty paintings in my office everyday for a whole year. And the paintings are printed very high quality and are perforated, so I can rip them off and frame them at the end of the year. Bonus!

The flipping pages to see future months is exactly why I need a wall calendar!

I love the calendar you chose for your work. How fun that it’s perforated too! Yay for pretty art!

Do you use a physical calendar? Three ... a wall calendar at home, an appointment calendar at the office, and I use an old calendar program (1997) to print out a calendar showing time share weeks for our family beach condo.

Do you use an electronic calendar? Not really, I use the calendar app on my phone to keep track of my beach weeks for when the physical calendar isn't handy

Have you ever made a calendar? Yes, the family beach calendar. My sister does a Shutterfly photo calendar every year and gifts them to family members ... we either provide her with photos, or she gathers them from FB.

That’s nice you have an old calendar program you can print out.

My sister made my mom a calendar in the past, but now it’s my job. I’m trying to decide if I can get away with not making one this year…

 

[Scrapping with Liz]

Do you use a physical calendar? Yes, I have one hanging in my kitchen for the whole family to see. I have a planner calendar on my desk where I write down everything! Day-to-day tasks, schedules, etc...

Do you use an electronic calendar? Yes. I use Cozi. It's a calendar my whole family can link to & add stuff to. I even use it for my grocery list and to-do lists. I also use Google calendar for business-related stuff.

Have you ever made a calendar? Yes!

I made one in 2017 (Click on images if you want to read more about how I made them)



And 2016

Lol if i don't make it or it is delayed, i get a message or call.. where is my calendar?!

 

[SeattleSheri]

Do you use a physical calendar? Yes, we have two. One in my office and one on our main floor that is communal. When I’m in meetings and using my monitors for video and presentations, it’s more convenient to glance at a physical calendar for dates.

Do you use an electronic calendar? Absolutely. For work I’m heavily reliant on my Outlook/Teams calendar (I have about 10 meetings every day). For my personal life, I use a combination of the calendar and reminders on my Apple products (phone, iPad, computer and watch).

Have you ever made a calendar? Yes, but not regularly/recently.

 

[umyesh]

Each year I make a Shutterfly calendar to hang in the kitchen. It is really more like a photo album than a calendar since I use the calendar on my iPhone to keep track of our life. I also make @Liz calendar posters for the grandkids that they hang in their bedrooms. I use some funny photos so they look forward to them each Christmas. I also make Liz’s desktop calendars for you daughter’s, again a hit.

I love that you make calendar posters with funny photos for your grandkids! I bet they love them.

How many calendars do you have in your house? I have zero 2022 calendars. However, I haven't thrown away the beautiful Kurzgesagt calendar I bought for last year from one of my favorite science YouTube channels. They have one for this year too, but I don't use wall calendars anymore and am more interested in minimizing nowadays, rather tan accumulating. I think I have a couple of other old calendars tucked away too, just because they were too pretty or sentimental to throw out.

Do you use a physical calendar? nope

Do you use an electronic calendar? yes, exclusively since 2018, aside from a few I bought just for wall decor

Have you ever made a calendar? yes, far too many to count
In the early 1990's, when I was in my early 20's and my family had its first Windows PC and a copy of Broderbund's Print Shop, I started making a lot of calendars. I made them for myself to track my college stuff and I made them as gifts, mostly for my Grandmother. I continued making calendars for her until she died in 2009.

I'm still attracted to calendars. But I refrain from buying them anymore because I don't use them. I use a combination of Apple Calendar and Google Calendar, and they work very well for me.

That Kurzgesagt calendar is so cool! I can see why you would keep it.

I love that you made calendars for your Grandmother. I’m sure she loved them.

The only calendars I have are my planners. I have one for home and one for school. I do not do well with digital calendars. No idea why, it's just so much better for me if it's in writing right in front of me. Our school uses Google Calendar and I just never remember to check it.
I have made a few calendars in the past and now you've got me thinking about it again. That might be a great gift idea for my mom.

It sounds like we are opposites! I can’t function with a planner haha

My mom is the person I usually make a calendar for because she likes to have a picture of each grandkid on their birthday.

Your calendars are so pretty Elizabeth! Thanks for the links; I loved reading your reviews.

I completely agree that it’s more convenient to glance at a physical calendar for dates. Whenever I call to make a doctor or dentist appointment I have to be by a physical calendar.

How many calendars do you have in your house? Six, I think (kitchen, my office, family room, DH's office, DS's room, DD's room?)

Do you use a physical calendar? Yes! The kitchen one has all of our family appointments, and my work schedule and DD's work schedule since they are very erratic. The one in my office is a basic 3-month-at-a-time view. I don't write anything on it; it's just a reference for when I'm planning my design/sale schedule.

Do you use an electronic calendar? I've tried, but they just don't work for me.

Have you ever made a calendar? Not lately. When I worked in an office (many many moons ago), I used to just print out basic ones (with a photo of the kids on each month IIRC) and tape them up in my cubicle. I've never made a full blown fancy one.

How many calendars do you have in your house? I have 2. One in living room that is a whiteboard with our family events/appts for the month and our Shutterfly calendar in the dining room.

Do you use a physical calendar? Yes, I typically have at least one and up to 3. I try to buy a calendar every year from an indigenous artist or organization. This year, I bought the one below from an art market last weekend.



Do you use an electronic calendar? Google calendar and Outlook calendar (for work)

Have you ever made a calendar? Yes, I make a Shutterfly calendar every year.
