Tess, I like to back up everything and cross reference when I can. So this is how I plan my work and personal appmts, tasks, etc.
Online - I use Officezilla (free)
Offline - I have a whiteboard (not too big) from Staples for the current month. (that goes on the fridge)
Then under that I also have the next month (free calendars I get online).
I write in all my appmts & tasks on the white board and when I need to plan for the next month I already have the paper calendar right there.
When the current month is over I erase the current month from the white board and write in the appmts for the new month.
Now some people may think this is just a little bit too much but I like working with the white board, the blocks are bigger but mostly I like the "erasability" factor, which is a life saver
I also save the paper calendars for a while in case I want to look back and check a prior date for something. If you want to see holidays, you can always print up a free calendar that has that included. I guess it all depends on how much free space you have on your fridge. Does Nou draw yet?
