How to use calendars for better time management?
Calendars, whether digital or paper, can be powerful instruments for boosting productivity. They visually represent time, thereby enabling a systematic approach to organizing, scheduling, and prioritizing tasks and activities. Imagine your calendar as a friend or an assistant who is always there to remind you of upcoming events and deadlines, preventing missed commitments. In addition, by reviewing our schedules using old calendars, we can analyze our time usage and identify productivity patterns and areas for improvement. The figure above provides a summary of the benefits of using calendars.
- Consistency is the key
The key to effective organization is ensuring that our schedule is regularly updated to accurately reflect our commitments and activities.
It is typical that our planning habits vary depending on our mood. There are days when we are diligent in planning, but there are also times when we’re just lazy, don’t have the time, or simply find reasons not to do it. I am guilty of this inconsistency. But a schedule is no use if it’s no longer relevant, right? Well, maybe you can use your old schedule for self-reflection, productivity evaluation, etc. But the message here is that developing a habit of keeping schedule up-to-date is necessary to maximize its benefits. One approach is to block time in your schedule specifically for planning and then stick to that routine. It is through repetition that we form a habit. - Be thorough in your schedule
Be as detailed as possible when planning your schedule. It is essential to write down all important activities that consume a significant amount of your time, including their start and target completion dates/times. Use a monthly calendar that has enough space for jotting down these activities and reminders. We kept this in mind when designing our calendars. For instance, we strategically placed graphical elements in areas where they will not impede your planning, mostly using watercolor images and neutral hues that you can write over. Being detailed in your schedule provides the clarity needed to understand what needs to be accomplished and when, allowing you to allocate time more effectively.
- Conduct Periodic review
Reflecting on your past schedule is important to monitor work progress and make adjustments as needed, identify pending activities, and find areas to improve your time allocation. Thus, schedule a time to evaluate your schedule. If you have a habit of throwing away old paper calendar pages, then cease doing it, as they will help facilitate reflection later on. Looking back at your past calendars helps you in developing and/or refining your time management strategies.
- Place your calendar strategically
Placing a calendar strategically in your home or office maximizes its benefits in several ways. For instance, putting your calendar in a frequently accessed area such as near your workstation or bedroom serves as a constant reminder of upcoming events and tasks. It also makes it more convenient to update. For shared calendars, such as your family’s calendar, placing them in commonly visited areas such as the kitchen, fridge, or even the living room facilitates coordination and communication of schedules among family members, ensuring that everyone stays informed and on the same page. Believe me, this is very useful, especially when you have teenage children.
November FAQs
November comes from the Latin word “Novem” (and Roman word “Nonus”) as it was originally the 9th month of the year in the old Roman calendar. The name persisted even after the Romans added the months of January and February to the calendar, which pushed November to its current position as the 11th month.
Individuals born in November have zodiac signs that are either Scorpio (November 1 to November 21) or Sagittarius (November 22 to November 23). Scorpios are said to prioritize trust and known for their intensity and imagination. On the other hand, Sagittarians, consistent with the archer symbol, are said to be wanderlust and are energetic, generous and open minded.
November marks the last month of autumn in the Northern Hemisphere and spring in the Southern Hemisphere. In the Northern Hemisphere, it signifies that the weather is getting colder by the day as winter approaches while in the Sothern Hemisphere, it means that temperature is rising as summer is about to set in.
There are different theories about why November’s full moon is called the “Beaver Moon.” One theory is that it originated from the native Americans, as it was during the November full moon that they set up their beaver traps for the last time before swamps froze. Conversely, the other theory suggests that it was called the “beaver moon” because beavers are very active in building their dams during this time to prepare shelter for winter.
November birthstones are Topaz and Citrine. Topaz, which comes in a variety of colors, is believed to symbolize love and affection while the yellow and brownish orange Citrines are said to promote vitality and energy.
