Calendars have gone backwards since the Bronze Age. It's time to evolve

There is a lot to be said for a 1980 style Filofax. You can look at it and make entries when someone is talking to you on the phone at the same time. It's very tactile, made of soft leather, and the paper is very high quality. Writeing on the paper with an ink fountain pen is pure pleasure, but if it's a moveable appointment you can use a pencil and your rubber will not ruin the page. It's simple to order next years pages in around September, or you can have an academic year diary. If you lose it you will regret not being better organised, but you could reconstruct most of it from your various electronic records.
