I am not a very organized person. I tend to remember all my appointments, but when there are too many, I always forget. I have tried paper notebooks, but I forget to write everything in most of the time, forget them at home or other places, so they are not very practical. On my cell phone, I try using the kalender, but depending on the phone, it is not very useful either.

I am now looking for a new phone, so I wonder which phone has a thought through kalender/organizer, or what other things do you use to keep tracks of your appointments?

I use an old fashioned calendar. The pocket sized one that comes in the mail free around Rosh Hashana time. I keep it in my pocket book so I always have it with me.

Whether you use a smartphone or a paper planner, you need to train yourself to write down appointments immediately. I use (and co-produce and am the graphic artist for) the Balabusta's Daily Organizer which is a terrific Jewish planner, and I have used a Palm in the past -- but no calendar, planner, or computer program works unless you enter or write down the information.

I use the old fashioned small calendars and always have it in my pocketbook. I never take appointment cards at doctor's offices and instead write the next appointment right there in the office. Over the phone appointments, ditto. I don't call, or accept an appointment time without my calendar in front of me.

I usually write them down, but sometimes forget to look at my calendar.

I have seen it but am not able to get it where I live. I used to be soo organized before kids - I would write down a to do list for every day and cross off stuff, nothing ever went missed.

For those who used google calendar, can it be used on any smartphone, or only on certain brands?

I put all appt's and other sundries as reminders on my cell - it beeps countless times over the day but I don't care; it's the only way for me not lose my head!

If you PM me I will figure out a way to get a Balabusta's Daily Organizer to you. I'm working on next year's edition now. We hope to go to press in 2 weeks.
