If you want to keep a few calendars or day-timers that remind you of a special time in your life, then make sure you keep them someplace where you can look at them from time to time. Grandma laughed about it and I told her it is my brain book and I scheduled nothing without consulting it. It zipped up so I could tuck notes in and had everything in it. "I think I still have my first planner from when my kids were young and I was care-giving 2 old ladies also.Even the little one I'm using as more of a personal journal this year, I probably won't keep all the pages, just some of the weeks I don't want to forget." Now that I make my own planners, I pull out pages that are special, that maybe I journaled about a vacation on, or jotted down some things about an event we went to that I don't want to forget. And because it kind of started me on the planner path I'm on now. Mainly because I used it to record all my youngest's milestones for his first year. "I have one old planner and I keep it for a few different reasons."Maybe it's time to make an album out of all the Norman Rockwell calendars I have.".Here are a few ideas from members of the 365 Items in 365 Days FB group: Or if you want to keep adding a few special pages each year, you could put them in a shadow frame. If you've been "meaning to" use them for decor but haven't done anything with them for a long time, set yourself a date to do it by, and if you don't decorate with them by then, let them go.Īnd you could take a few sentimental pages of calendars or planners and make a collage with them. I used to think I'd plak-it some of them for decor but I never did so eventually I tossed them. If you've kept some old calendars so you can use the pictures for decor in your home, then choose your favourites and actually frame them or hang them or whatever you're planning to do with them. Some calendars can be repurposed or displayed though. But then the old pages are clutter if you don't need to refer to them any more so you can let go of those. Actually, some planners and calendars you can keep using if you write the dates in yourself. I mean once the year is over, you can't really use them again because the dates are all different the next year. I don't really know any ways you can reuse old calendars. Ways you can reuse/repurpose/display old calendars Having it on the computer of annual events is so much faster and easier." So I can print a new one if I need to quickly and I don't spend time writing in all the events. I print a year's worth on my computer and just copy birthdays/events over. "I don't use store bought calenders much.Like I just looked up what we did on a particular weekend this month the last few years because there's an annual date then for a particular event that I want to keep up with how we handle it." "I'm trying putting pages in a binder for recurring items.And it seems much of my date keeping is now done online, so there is nothing that takes up physical space!" I don't save any of these things personally. If there were any other important dates to remember I can jot those on my online calendar. "I make sure to transfer important dates each year when I get a new calendar.Here are a few tips from the 365 Items in 365 Days FB group members for keeping important dates / memories without keeping the physical calendars, planners, or daytimers: Or start a generic calendar so you don't have to keep copying them from year to year. If you really need some of the dates from your old calendars or planners, you could copy them into your current calendar with the year they took place.Enjoy using that space for something else or just having empty space :) How often do you actually do that? Most people rarely, if ever, actually ever look back at them.
Think about your old calendars, daytimers, and planners. Remember the definition of clutter: anything you don't need, use, love, or have the space to store. We might even keep old calendars because we liked the pictures in them a lot. Or we might want to keep them as a record of everything we did that year. Old calendars, daytimers, and planners can be hard to let go of because we think we might need to refer back to them sometime to see when certain events or appointments took place. Today I'm going to share tips for decluttering them, as well as share some ideas for repurposing or displaying them.
Some of you probably just toss them at the end of the year, but many people hang onto them. Today in the Decluttering Sentimental Items series, we're decluttering old calendars, planners, and datebooks.
