I use a small planner book that fit into my "barn bag" that I use as a purse (barn bag from Ariat). I use stickers and different colored pens for different things (blue for medical appointments, and pink for liturgical/saints/prayer requests), and use the highlighter for other important info. I cram it all into the spaces given (it is a page a week format). The planner also has blank pages in the back that I use for encouragement quotes, Bible verses I like, and my general schedule for homeschooling. Also, I take out two pages for phone numbers that are not in my Blackberry (I am not as functional with electronic devices!). I am kind of neurotic in the fact I do not like rings or spirals, so the planner I have is in book form, but it also lays flat. I am lost without it. Oh, and I use post its a lot in there. I use the 5x8 post its for things I need/want or my general to do list. I rely on these because I can move them around, etc. It is a pretty full and crammed notebook, but it works for me. If I have any big 8x11 papers to deal with, I fold them in half and put them in the back, until they need to be dealt with at a later date..or to file at home.

This planner works well for me dealing with the home and work schedule, and all the doctor appointments with my special needs child and father. I have bought bigger planners, which I really need, but they are less portable. This one fits in my purse nicely and goes to work and to appointments and functions with me, so it is always available to write things down. My children know, "if it is not written down, it's not happenin'!".

Just to clarify, I use an iPhone synced to Google calendar on my desktop computer. I couldn't choose both answers in the survey. I use both interchangeably.

I also use Michele's small planner for our family. Last year I tried to do double, adding a family wall calendar and trying to write in all the appointments on both. It just didn't work for me. The new wall calendar Michele is working on now is still very interesting to me for other reasons. I wouldn't use it to mark our daily or weekly appointments. My intentions are quite different with this new wall calendar. I can't wait!
