Thank you for reminding me to do this. Duh!!!! I almost threw out my old calendar before transferring the birthdays. Going to do that now so I don’t forget.

[...] My “small thing” for today is to record all the birthdays for the year on my kitchen calendar. You can read in more detail about how I go about that here. [...]

Great tip i must say. I was also tagged for forgetting birthdays but not any more coz http://www.forgetmeneversolutions.com> is helping me do all my work. I no more sit and write down everything in a calender i just log on and type the dates and the wish lists of my loved ones. I also get great gifts here online so i am no more that bad in remembering. Go ahead try it once.

I do that as well! I guess I’m more organized than I thought. I also have that same calendar, LOVE the recipes! I hang mine on the inside of one of my cupboard doors. It’s by the stove and I can lean back against the counter to check out what’s going on, or to write something down, so convenient! My husband has even started looking at it. Great WFMW post, I’m sure I’ll be back here. I am, like a lot of people, organizationally (is that even a word??) challenged.

I am so glad to have found your blog…I love organizing too! We keep our large calendar on the fridge. I bought one of those desk blotter types ($1 at Target!). It works wonders at keeping us going. I use to use a small one for myself, but dh said he never knew what was going on…now he does. With three boys in baseball, our summer schedule gets especially hectic. We couldn’t live without this!

Blessings,

Angela

I’ve been using a planner for the past year and it hasn’t really been working that great for me. I don’t always open it up to look at it. I’m thinking I probably need to go back to the wall calendar. In the meantime, I’m giving Google calendar a try. It sends email alerts for upcoming events. Since I check my mail a couple of times a day, I’m thinking it should be a good solution. If not, I’m going to go back to the wall calendar.

I always think about doing this every year, but never have. I think you’ve inspired me to get this done! My mind is getting pretty old… I can’t just remember dates like I used to,

I thought I already commented, but maybe I didn’t…maybe I just thought about it. So anyway, all reambling aside. I have to get some of the hooks from 3M that you mentioned. I love your blog and have an affinity for organizing gadgets like you. I’ll just bet the oranges in your other post were bought for reasons other than the oranges. I bought a case of clementines (what the heck’s a clementine anyway) for the pretty wood crate they were in!

Hi! Be careful not to have birthdays listed in too many places because then when you update one you will need to remember to update all of them…it might be easier to stick with one central spot where everyone can see it. Hope that helps.

Thanks for your comments everyone!
