Shorter autumn days bring a hectic round of activities and events. Get organized now for the best school year ever. Each school year floats on a sea of schedules. Scout meetings and music lessons. You'll need a family event calendar to track after-school activities, school programs and volunteer work.
Form is less important than function.
A paper calendar with large squares lets you enter information easily. Pre-printed white board calendars are easy to revise when necessary. Color-coding entries by family member helps keep busy lives straight. Planner users dedicate a planner section to serve as Calendar Central, while tech-savvy cybergrrrlz store the info in a personal digital assistant like Palm Pilot. Choose a calendar format that works for your family.
