My calendars
So, I guess I am a little bit of a nerd. I not only have 1 calendar, but 4. Yes count them 4 calendars. One is on my computer in a program called corporate time (this is the main one, the "mother ship" of the calendars) all my other calendars get filled in according to this one.
Next I have my day planner, so I am not sure it actually counts as a calendar. I write everything down in it. Appointments, classes I am teaching, meetings I have, and other various stuff.
Then comes my desk. I have two calendars on my desk, yes 2. I have a big flat calendar that I can fill in with the month and days. Everything gets written on that one also. Then I have a small desk calendar that not only is stuff written in, but it is color coded...red for desk and OChat shifts, blue for office hourse, and green for teaching.
It is almost as if I think if I keep enough calendars I will become better at time management, which realistically I am not bad at to start with. Except for spending so much time filling in calendars ;-)
