How Much (or Little) Does a Calendar Cost?
What if I told you that the tools you need to manage your time can be had for free? During the parenting class I teach to those who are often challenged on many fronts, we have a lesson on time management. I tell the students that they need three tools to manage their time at a minimum: a calendar, an action list (some call this a to do list), and a pen.
Interestingly, over 50% of the students cannot produce for me any of the three.
I wonder from time to time how much of the barriers of these things is cost. Yet this year, I’ve received at least five calendars as essentially free gifts from businesses that my employer have relationships with.
Free.
In past years, I’ve given these away to some of my students, but very few of them have actually used them. It’s not stopping me from doing so. At least if I give them the tools of time management, maybe some of them will actually use them.
