Since I moved in the States, I have received endless invitations from my college classmates, and new found friends. Because of this, having a pocket calendar I would say is a must-have. Lest you forget about important events that would strain a friendship. My friends usually give me a 2-month notice of the special events planned so I am able to plan better. I could easily check my calendar and decline if someone invites me on the same date. It makes life less stressful.I have found that in relation to achieving your goal as you envision your future, a pocket calendar gives you an organized display of how you will achieve your goals one day at a time by doing one little thing each day that will get you closer to achieve your goals.
In my calendar, I also make sure I jot down on specified dates my financial obligations for the month so I won't miss a payment.
So whether it be as simple as a christening of a friend's son or going to a doctor's appointment, a pocket calendar helps you to be organized and up on your toes most of the time.
