One unfortunate side effect of
getting older (yes I have to acknowledge that it is happening) is
that my memory is not which it used to be.
In my early twenties I used to
have a razor-sharp memory, able to recall dates, phone numbers and
work file numbers with ease, but these days; after hitting my mid
thirties (shush don't tell anyone!) my memory recall has definately
taken a dip.
I have recently been looking
into ways in which technology can help me with making better
use of my time and having solved that with a tablet,
I am now looking towards finding a calendar that suits my needs
and to assist my forgetful memory.
What I want is a personalised
calendar that I can
tailor to both my blogging and personal life. With this in mind I
decided to check out Photobox and
see how they could help me create what I need.
One
thing that I like the sound of is being able to upload your own
photographs to use for each month. Whether it be family snaps,
places you have visited or even quotes that you love, being able to
choose my imagery and create a photo calendar specific
to me is very appealing.
In
the past few weeks I have committed to several monthly projects so
being able to choose the starting month of the calendar rather than
having to wait until January 2015 makes much more sense. Also, being
able to enter my events, birthdays and blogging deadlines on the calendar
before it is printed makes for easier reading and is much tidier.
Much better than scribbling illegible notes and crossing out when you
put an entry on the wrong date.
For an A3 calendar wall calendar
with your own photographs costs £17.99 and for just £2.99 you can
add in all the events and reminders that you like. Included in the
£2.99 cost is the ability to add a photograph keyed to a specific
date; great for adding photos for birthdays.
So with my technology sorted and
my calendar arranged, my life is much more organised and I can use
the extra time to have a glass of wine with a friend or just settle
down with a good book. The important things in life.
What aides do you use to
organise your life?
I am totally with you on this The calendar seems like a wonderful idea. I use my Google Calendar on my android phone and link it up to my partner & daughter's calenders too so I can keep all appointments and special dates. They are both awful with remembering plans, do this has been a blessing!
