It’s one of my favorite days of the month! It’s “Let’s Look At” day with Shay and Erika  , and I LOVE reading through these links getting a glimpse into your lives! Today we’re looking at calendars!

• In July, we looked at a Typical Day.
• In August, we looked at Favorite Binge Shows.

And today we’re looking at Calendars!

I tend to be a pretty organized person. I live and die by my calendar. If it’s not on the calendar, then it’s not going to happen. Also, having spent the past eleven years having to record my work time in six minute increments, my calendar is absolutely necessary in having a successful day.

So many of you have really pretty planners. And I LOVED planners when I was in school. But in my current job, with how often meeting times change and running from one meeting to another, having a paper planner carried everywhere with me just isn’t an option for me.

I keep track of our schedules in two different ways:

The end all be all calendar is my work Outlook calendar:

It’s color coded.  It has EVERYTHING that’s going on in our lives.  And if it doesn’t make it on this calendar, it just doesn’t happen.

But because this girl always loved her paper planner for years, we also have this calendar on our fridge from Paper Source:

 

It serves as a quick visual reminder before we leave the house. I only add things on here that are big family events or events that impact the rest of the family (i.e. an after work happy hour where the other parent is in charge of Harrison pick up and bedtime).

Can’t wait to read through the link-ups! If you blog, make sure to join in!
