How do you track your appointments? Calendar? In your brain?

Me? I just forget them all. :giggle

I have a giant desk calendar on the wall that we are ALL supposed to write stuff on, but I'm the only one who does. And I TRY to put them in my iPhone, but I'm not so good at that, either.
 
Calendar. Sticky notes. Unread emails.

It never seems to matter. I tend to be late or miss things. :/
 
Google Calendar, on my computer & phone. I couldn't live without it.

I'm using a paper planner this year for business deadlines/planning, though. Felt like writing this year - plus it lets me keep lots of notes and scribbles. :)
 
I have an Erin Condren planner that goes everywhere with me. I am never without it because the one time I don't have it will be the time I need it.

If I need a reminder, I use the calendar on my phone to set an alarm. I used to use the phone exclusively but I prefer the planner.
 
My cellphone calendar, I program it so it lets me know a few hours in advance. I dont know what I'd do without it.
 
Last year I used a page a week calendar to keep track of everything, this year I bought a little 8.5x11 month at a glance desk calendar in the target dollar spot that I'm using to keep track.
 
Calendar in the pantry in the kitchen so everyone can see and things I have to remember later on in the day goes on the back of my hand lol
 
iCal on my computer and iPhone. They sync through the cloud so it doesn't matter which one I use to input.

I have a really good memory, though....and I'm chronically on time. It bugs me to be late.
 
I'm terribly unorganized. But for those I do set my cell to go off the morning prior so that I have time to let my boss know if I have forgotten to tell her LOL. I have tried calendars and for some reason I don't remember to write stuff down on it enough!
 
I used to have a small booklet calendar that was always in my purse, but when I got my iPhone I switched to that for everything. Now it's a running joke between my husband and I. If one of us asks the other about what's going on tonight... we both say "I don't know, where's my phone?" and if we don't have the phone within arm's reach "I don't know where I'm supposed to be. Where's my phone?" LOL! I love having Siri set reminders for me too. :)
 
3 Calendars! One large desk one (it is the main brain). Each kid has a color! One small one in my purse. Those is for real life things.
Then I have a little square one, for releases for CT work.
 
We have a dry erase board/calendar in the kitchen that I write things on. I also write them in my Outlook calendar at work.

We really don't have many appointments to remember TBH. I just work. Hubs just works & goes to school. DD is too little to have extra-currics, and SS does most of his extra-currics when he's with his mom.

We're lame. :giggle
 
I'm a planning mess.

I have 2 planners at work, one regular planner and one of those huge desktop calendars. Then I use Outlook calendar as well, and Google Calendar (when I can remember to update the damn thing!).

At home we have a stick-on dry erase calendar on an interior door that faces the kitchen and we update that.
 
I use google calendars... syncs to my phone and to my husband's as well so he can see where the kids and I are at since it seems like we're always on the move.
 
I'm home most of the time, so I don't have to worry too much about keeping track of things on the go. We have a wall calendar in the kitchen that has all the appointments, after school activities, events, etc. I use pop-up reminders in Outlook for bills, time-sensitive things like meeting my daughter's bus after school, and reminders of other chores that I'd rather forget about. :p I keep a list online in TeuxDeux for my design stuff and other ongoing things I need to work on.
 
I have a calendar in the kitchen that I write appointments birthdays etc on and I use the calendar/ alarm on my iPhone for reminders on the go and my tablet taking times LOL! I use a notepad or post it notes for scrappy related dates
 
I have a wall Calendar in the kitchen that I note down appointments :)
 
Google calendar on both my phone and computer. Hubby and I share a calendar so as we each update it throughout the month, we can see each other's appointments etc. It keeps us completely organized.
