Table Calendar - My Choice Of Planner - TweenselMom / Mommy Blogger

Every Christmas, my eldest daughter already knows one gift she needs to give me – that is a huge table calendar. They know that this is one of the most important objects in my work table at home. I’ve been using one for years and it helped me track my daily activities for my work, blogging and even personal stuff.

I also use a notebook to write notes and activities and this serve as an extension of my table calendar. It’s because the spaces for each day is limited, I still need something to write more stuff for the specific things I need to work on during the day.

Multitasking can be done efficiently when you have brain organizers such as these. When you are a mom, a work-at-home professional, and a blogger, it is essential that you have these “vessels” where you can put your thoughts and ideas instantly. In the case of my table calendar, I can easily jot down important events and schedules on it. This gives me an overview of what days in a week are already filled-up or I am already committed to.

For the whole month’s view, it’s helpful because I can easily see which months are already loaded which is useful for long-term planning such as vacation plans or travel plans abroad. I then use Google Calendar to put in my schedules so I can be alerted through my mobile email.

Why do I not use planners? I do sometimes, however, I have very limited space at home and I thought using pretty planners and then having the need to discard them will be heartbreaking for me.
