Calendar Overload (part 2)

 

Over the past year or more, I have bought and created a boxful (yes, a 12 quart tote) packed with calendar supplies. I bought a few more this week after I decided to go with the discbound system. (More later)

My love of calendars is REAL. Now the opportunity to combine calendars with planners, to-do lists (and so many other lists), and so much more with my creative side is exciting.

Calendar overload

I have always loved a calendar. The first memory of my fascination with calendars I have is of a block calendar of my dad's. As I have been cleaning and going through his stuff, I have found myself staring at this calendar and remembering how I loved changing the months and the repeating pattern that allowed the blocks to be tall stacks of numbers. 

As an adult when school starts each year, I could feel my heart beat just a bit faster as I selected my planner for the year. During the pandemic and when I decided to stay home, one of the disappointments was a paper planner was kinda useless with my boring day-to-day. 

Then I discovered bullet journaling: how it could track goals, keep lists and so much more. 

I am fascinated again.
