I love calendars.
I like big ones to put on the wall so I can see it while I’m working. I like small ones with two pages for each day.
I love datebooks. I have jotted things down in small datebooks since the 1970s, long before I started writing longer notes in journals.
I have had page-a-day diaries — I like these, but often find I don’t need to write enough to fill a page and, since I can’t see more than two days at a time, they’re not very useful as planners. Besides, this kind of calendar is no good at reminding you on Monday of an appointment you have on Friday.
I’ve had planners — expensive things with replaceable pages.
I’ve had pocket-notebook-sized planners that show a week spread over two pages. These are most useful to me — as long as I consult them.
