If we have already caught your attention, below we are not only going to give you designs of calendars to print, but also programs with which you can make your own and the reasons why you should use them, and how to do it, so as not to end up in breach nothing that has been written on them. Let's do it?
Why use printable calendars
Right now you may be thinking that printable calendars are a thing of the past. Instead of printing, and thus wasting sheets of paper, you can use an agenda, your mobile or computer to keep the calendar, but would you see it continuously? Most likely not, because the book will not always be open, and the mobile phone or computer will not have the screen with the monthly, weekly or daily calendar open.
In other words, by not seeing it, you will forget about it and only if you are a very responsible person will you focus on fulfilling it every day.
There are many features and reasons to go back to using calendars to print the way you used to, both at work and in family life. Some of them are:
- Being able to organize the week with everything you need to do. It is not a matter of filling in every day, because you also need time for yourself, but it will make you feel more productive knowing that you have things to do and that you are complying.
- You can plan your work on the Internet. If you have a blog, social networks, etc. You can establish what you are going to do each day in them, in such a way that, if at any time you need to carry out work, you could, because you don't have to think about what you are going to do day by day, but everything would be already managed.
- You can remember medical appointments, birthdays, trips, activities with the family ...
In conclusion, printable calendars are useful for everything in your day to day. You can have one for housework, another for your work, for meals ... And even if you see it too routine, the truth is that the organization will help you to do what you have to do (so you will have more free time) and to save (because you plan from the forecast, with which you can save on costs such as not going out every day to buy).
How to use printed calendars to organize yourself well
Imagine a calendar on your computer. You have to open it every time you want to see what to do that day, or what events or tasks you have throughout the month. It involves having a computer or mobile at hand to do it. But once you do and close, you may forget about that activity you signed up for a few weeks ago.
Instead, now think of one that you print and leave stuck in the fridge. Every time you go to the kitchen and pass through that area you will see the calendar, and everything that needs to be done that day, week or month. It's a constant reminder that there are things you have to do. And that makes it more functional, because, unless you veto the kitchen, it will always be there to tell you that you must comply.
Our recommendation with printable calendars is that you print them on paper. Depending on the tasks you have to do, it is best to do them daily, weekly or monthly, and try not to mix some tasks with others. For example, do not combine the topics of work with those of the family meals, or with the tasks that each one has to do at home. In those cases it is better to have a calendar for each matter.
Then you just have to put it in a place that is well visible to all, and that it is seen all the time. Not only will it act as a reminder, but it also becomes a torment when you know that you have to comply and you don't.
