Planners and date books

Published

Hi everyone! I am curious how many of you use electronic planners and how many use an actual physical planner? I am really trying to get better at using my google calendar for daily stuff like work and appts but I wonder for keeping track of school assignments and due dates if I should get a reg paper planner. So I thought I would just ask what other people use :)

I Use both. I am a student, wife, mom of a couple of busy kids, and business owner (photographer) sooo i have a TON to keep straight. I have 2 paper planners and I use google calendar.

I use THIS planner strictly for school assignments....the lay out is the best I have found for me when it comes to assignments....I got it at Target

I have a specific color of Washi tape for each class.....If I have an event or assignment for a certain class I put a piece of tape and write on the tape what it is.....that way I can quickly glance at it and know exactly what is due and which class it is for. if something changes I can easily pull the tape off and move it....or throw it away or whatever without having a mess of scribbles and junk...lol I'm strange those things bother me

I use the project life weekly planner for the rest of my life

I use put EVERYTHING in google calendar so I can see if I don't have my planner handy.....but I like my paper planners better....I sometimes forget to update google....or don't get around to checking it....I dunno why but paper planners are more effective for me

Good day:

I've tried various paper planners including uncalendar... I could never keep up with it. Then I've switched to Google Calendar and iOS reminders; it works with less effort... syncs to android phone, ipad, desktop.

Thank you.

I use a combo of a regular date book, uncalendar for assignments and Cozi on my I Phone for schedules, household chores, grocery list etc. I like Cozi because hubby can access it too and you can use it from a computer. I upgraded to gold and I absolutely love it! I have 2 kids, 3 separate school schedules, a fistful I doctors plus hubs work schedule. Hectic!

I prefer a paper planner. I've tried SO many times to use the one on my phone or Google, but I still prefer the paper.

I use my calendar on my phone as well as a paper planner--the uncalendar. I also have 1 sheet of paper on the front of my binder that lists class times and the assignments that are always due every week on the same day.
