    I have tried several and they were really more than what I needed, so I would go back to a simple paper one or use the SimplCal app to keep up with things.

  2. I’ve been using Cozi for our family. Since I am the designated driver, I need to know who needs to be where and when. That being said, it doesn’t help with all the other things I want/need to do and keep track of. Looking forward to checking this out.

    1. I’ve heard lots of good things about Cozi as a calendar, for sure! This is a bit more robust with the ability to track all kinds of areas of our life. I can’t wait to show you!!

  3. I would like to know if digital planning would work if I don’t have a smartphone & just have a laptop…

    1. Absolutely! I’m mainly using my computer to do my planning, anyways. It does sync on mobile, but that’s not a required piece by any means!

  4. I love digital planning! I started using Google Calendar more diligently after my first son was born – 14 years ago. I needed a way to balance his activities, appts, preschool/school dates/times, etc, with my personal activities and my work schedule. We now have 4 kids and organizing their schedules and mine — Google Calendar has been imperative! (And I love how I can color code everything!!) I slowly added in using Google Tasks over the years for quick reminders of things I needed to do that day, sometimes organizing them in the order I needed to do them. (Including recurring household tasks, etc.) Then, I discovered Plan to Eat, a website that helps you meal plan and organize your shopping list. AND they have a calendar feed that I can add to my calendar system to see what is coming up without having to open their app every single time. Game changer for me. I have tried other systems and find that I keep coming back to my current setup. I’m curious to see how your system compares and if I can integrate and parts with what I’m already using.

    1. I love that you’ve found something that works well for you! I’ve used Plan To Eat in the past and really liked it too. I’ll be sharing more about our system in Tuesday’s call – hope you can come!

  5. I have tried utilizing a digital calendar that syncs with everyone in the family, but I am the only one who looks at it. 🙁 A digital planner seems overwhelming to me. Part of me wants to try it, but the other part of me is nervous I won’t be able to figure it out, or I’ll lose all my color coding and “prettiness” of a planner.
    Currently, I am using some of the layouts. But for next year, and for the first time ever, I’m building a disc-bound planner that has everything I want included in it.

    1. You know I love my paper planner, too!! If that’s what works best for your brain, stick with it! I totally get that.
