Come 2008, give your old calendar the boot and upgrade to the WeekDate calendar. It'll make your life easier, since any recurring appointments and to-dos only need to be written once. The calendar's tri-fold design means monthly priorities are written on the top flap, weekly tasks are recorded on the bottom flap, and everyday events are written in between. So instead of writing "pay morgage" on the 10th of every month over and over again, write it once and you're done! ...

Good organization is key to planning a successful party. You need to keep track of when to send invitations, buy favors, purchase groceries, decorate, cook, etc. But unless you have a good calendar, it's easy to fall behind on your to-do list and find yourself scrambling at the end. That's why I was interested in reviewing the WeekDate planner and calendar. It promised to offer a new way to keep track of life's regular and special events. This review will explain how these calendars work and why they make sense for anyone who needs to juggle her own and her family's schedules.

The Bottom Line: This is a super organized system for keeping track of recurring events, and managing less frequently occurring activities. Great for those who still prefer paper calendars over electronic.

WeekDate Review
 
<One of the common drawbacks of using a paper calendar is having to write recurring events repeatedly, and then, of course, you have the hassle of erasing and updating all of them when something changes. One calendar has changed all of that. WeekDate is one of the most creative things I have seen in a while. You write in all of your monthly recurring appointments, all of your weekly recurring appointments, and then all of your specific day appointments on different folded-in “flaps” of the calendar itself, so that you can view them all at once and have no need to rewrite things...

“ONLY WRITE IT ONCE” – WEEKDATE IS A NOVEL CONCEPT
FOR CALENDAR USERS WHO MUST HAVE IT ON PAPER

Greenville, SC, March 3, 2006 – It’s likely you’ve been in this situation before: you’re holding the phone between your ear and shoulder, a child on one arm, and your calendar in the other hand when the voice on the phone tells you that your monthly book club, Johnny’s weekly tae kwon do, or Sally’s ballet class has been moved to another day of the week. While some of us scramble through each month to make the change, the smart woman has a WeekDate calendar… she makes the change once and Voila! – she’s done for the year.

WeekDate is a checkbook-sized paper planner that offers the conveniences of a high-tech calendar. It allows you to easily record a recurring event, yet you ONLY WRITE IT ONCE . The top flap of the calendar is visible above the current week and offers space to write set activities for each four or five weeks of the month. Below the current week is space to add weekly fixed activities. Each week begins with Monday in order to keep weekend activities recorded together. Once the week is finished, the spiral-bound calendar easily reveals the next week’s schedule of appointments and events, including the recurring activities that are above and below the spiral-bound portion.

This unique, patent-pending calendar lets you pencil things in on the spot. WeekDate offers a new choice for calendar users who prefer to have everything written down on paper. It allows you to record daily, weekly, monthly and annual events easily without the fear of losing it all.

This WeekDate planning system is the brainchild of artist Kay Odell, owner of Kodell Art, LLC. Kay specializes in whimsical art and dog commissions, and you can choose from her eight colorful and fun original designs to personalize your WeekDate cover. Enclosed in a protective plastic cover, they are available at www.weekdate.com for $34.95 plus shipping and handling. WeekDate is a perfect gift for the holidays, unique and different while practical and portable.
