Meet Your New Best Friend

Welcome to Thrifty Sissy!

I want to take a minute to introduce you to your new best friend... the calendar. Oh you are probably laughing at this but couldn't we use a good friend who would help us keep up with our busy lives? Someone who can help us stay on track and give us a visual reminder of our schedule. Well here she is meet your calendar. Now don't turn off the computer just yet.

You may be thinking I have my phone calendar so what do I need with a paper calendar? After all isn't everybody trying to go paperless? It's true we are trying to save the trees but the manufacturers are still making them and businesses are still giving them away. So why not use it to your advantage.

While the phone calendar is great because you always have it with you it's hard for me to get the whole month's information quickly. Things like when was the last time I put the flea medicine on the cat or had the oil changed in the car. Maybe I'm just old school. Some of you "techie" folks are able to keep yourself together better than others. LOL!

Maybe you are good about entering your appointments into your phone or writing them down on your paper calendar so my hat is off to you. But for those who do struggle to keep your "ducks in a row" getting into the habit of listing your business on or in a calendar will make a big difference in your life.

If one of your news year's resolutions is to get organized this is the first building block. The one thing you have to remember... a calendar won't do you any good at all if you don't use it.  It's a new habit just like exercising or drinking more water. Here's hoping you will begin spending time with your new friend.

Take care and stay "Thrifty."
