After I retired from public school life I guess I must have thought somewhere in the back of my mind that I didn’t have to worry about keeping up with a schedule any more. At work I used a large desk calendar and kept it filled with all the important information to keep my daily life running. I couldn’t have made it through a day without referring to my calendar for the important meetings times and what my daily agenda held.
After I retired, I started using a small purse sized planner to keep up with my life. Nothing wrong with this – unless I forgot to get it out and look at it!
Many people like to start a new calendar at the beginning of the new calendar year, but the beginning of a new school year is also a good time to start a calendar. The school year can become a busy and hectic time for families with children because someone has to keep up with who goes where and when for what activity.
I ordered this calendar from Calendars.com, and because there is only part of the year left it was greatly discounted.
I started applying stickers and writing in appointments immediately. The calendar is now at home on my fridge, and when I get up to have that first cup of coffee in the morning and look at my calendar, I can feel confident that I will be where I’m supposed to be for the day!
This calendar is exactly what I needed to get me on track. It is the nicest home calendar that I have used, and I have already pre-ordered the same calendar for 2013.
Retirement is a much busier time of life than I ever thought it could be. I still have a bucket list about a mile long, so now I just need to put it on the calendar!

I have to have a calendar (or two). Great post!
Good idea.
