Prefer Paper Planners? 3 Best Calendars You’ve Never Heard Of

lifehack.org: "Professional Organizers are often called upon to help our clients choose the calendar that is best for their needs. Many times, even though people are very digitally-oriented in their work, they still prefer having a paper calendar."

These paper planners are great. It's nice to find somewhere that searched for USEABLE paper planners instead of just assuming that everyone uses outlook or ical. i think keeping my calendar on my computer is useful, but i am one of those people that just likes to keep a paper planner. Thanks for posting this one!

I havent used a paper planner all year, and it's actually been a smooth transition. With mobile devices and computers and wifi all over campus, and Google Calendar and outlook, i'm reminded of things whether i want to be or not. My phone just vibrated, so i thought someone was calling me. No, it was kindly reminding me that i have crew tonight.....

Last year I got really into my paper planner because I had infinitely more Life to juggle rather than just homework assignments, and I probably will again this summer when it's all about internships and parties and far less routine than the regular school year. During the school year, I've gotten really used to Google calendar and developed a lot of my own tricks for making it do what I want. I'm still peeved that it doesn't have a todo list function anywhere, hence why I started using Remember the Milk, which is pretty sweet, though I've gotten a little lax with it the past couple weeks. Hopefully, I'll start with that again because it's really amazingly useful.

Point: I like that middle one: Planner Pad...might be a good investment.

I actually really like this article and can relate to it a lot. I find that when I try to store things I need to do digitally it's not as effective. I really like the formatting of the calendars. I'm a really "calendar-y" person when it comes to assignments. I often have two or three calendars that have different purposes and time spans. It helps me to keep track of everything.
