Do you use a daily planner?  email this discussion to a friend?

I love using a daily planner, but I wish you could find them all year long. For the most part you can only buy them at the first of the year, with the exception of refill pages. It would appear its a seasonal item. Do you use a daily planner or an online calendar program? And by the way does anyone know a good free calendar program for pc's?

I had to start using a daily planner about 3 1/2 yrs ago. My Husband had a steel Beam fall on him at work. It struck his R. Frontal Lobe of his head. Brain injury. I had to take him everyday for therapy, remember what I was told, what days I had to see the Attorney. Who to call and time, appts, addresses, and everything that was said I wrote down to tell the next person in line. It saved me !! In 3 yrs I went through 5 0f them.
My husband has a permenant Disability. But we love each other and our friends and God has seen us both through.

I am really sorry to hear about your husband Kitty. What a tragic accident. I loved the way you ended your response though by saying how much you loved one another. Thats very cool. Thanks for sharing something so personal.

I don't use daily planner at all. But I remember things to do or something special like birthdays and all in my mobile. That's it. Unfortunately I also don't know about any daily planner.

A day planner is a calendar, address book, place to keep notes and sometimes a wallet. I guess you would call it a personal organizer.

Hi there! I don't have a daily planner and I think that I don't need it. If there's a special day that should be remembers, I just mark them on the calendar hung in our dining room or set an alarm for it in my mobile phone.


myLot reputation of 86/100. kbourgerie (1918)   ranked 164 out of 13,133 in internet  4 years ago

I usually mark events both on my calendar, but I carry a day planner with me, because, obviously I don't want to take the calendar off of the wall.

Hey KB, I do not have the need to use a daily planner.
I use the reminders on my cell phone for doctors appointments.
That is all I really need reminding of.


myLot reputation of 86/100. kbourgerie (1918)   ranked 164 out of 13,133 in internet  4 years ago

Believe it or not I don't carry a cell phone with me most of the time. And I like a day planner, because its quicker to jot down notes, than having to enter events into a phone, but thats just what works for me.


myLot reputation of 94/100. Goodie123 (7548)  4 years ago

I need my cell phone with me whenever I leave the house.
I never know when I need an ambulance.

I have an Apple computer that comes with a great piece of software that has the catchy name "iCal". All Apple programs are interactive so, for example, if I update my calendar with an address, it automatically asks if I want to put this into my database of contacts. There must be 100s of calendars for Windows. Try www.Download.com, that's the CNET site, they have stacks of stuff there. Good luck.


myLot reputation of 86/100. kbourgerie (1918)   ranked 164 out of 13,133 in internet  4 years ago

You know I consider myself pretty computer literate, but I have never used an Apple computer. I would really like the opportunity though to get to know the software.

I dont use a daily planner - I just do whatever I need to do every day. I'm pretty notorious for forgetting dates and birthdates and stuff!


myLot reputation of 86/100. kbourgerie (1918)   ranked 164 out of 13,133 in internet  4 years ago

If you forget events, how come you haven't started using some kind of calendar program? Just wondering, not judging by any means.

I like having a daily planner with me. It makes it easier to jot things down on the run.

Refill pages can be purchased at an office supply store, like Staples, year round. I had to buy some in August once and that is where I got them.

There is a program called Cozi (just google it, it is something like www.cozicentral.com) that you can download on everyone's PC and synchronize calendars. Also, if you need to send the same message out to several members of the family, you can use Cozi and it will send it as a text message or e-mail to each member (you can choose which get a text and which get an e-mail). It is free, and esp. good if there are multiple members of the family.


myLot reputation of 86/100. kbourgerie (1918)   ranked 164 out of 13,133 in internet  4 years ago

Thank you so much for that information. I will definitely look it up. I know you can purchase refill pages in office supply stores, but if you want a new planner all together they are difficult to find during mid year months.


myLot reputation of 95/100. michelyn (594)   ranked 4,051 out of 13,133 in internet  4 years ago

You should be able to order the entire planner from stores such as Staples and Office Depot/Max online. They may not carry them in the stores due to seasonal needs, but they do have everything on their websites. You may end up wasting part of the calendar since they all start with January, but for someone who uses something so often, it's a good deal.

I have a daily planner book, but I am forever forgetting it places. I have my phone which connects to my Microsoft Outlook calendar and e-mail and that pretty much works for me. I find that daily planners don't give me enough room to write down all the information that I need to retain.

I have Cozi as well. It's pretty neat but can also be a resource hog on your computer. So if you are running a slow computer without much memory, I don't recommend it. Good Luck!
