Why Use a Physical Calendar?
Using a physical calendar is helpful beyond the obvious reason of being reminded of important events. A physical dry erase calendar can also help you recognize yearly or monthly patterns. For example, if a particular customer always shows up to put in a large order on the 2nd week in March, June, September and December, you know you need to make sure you are stocked so you can release their order. It can also help you perform post-mortems so that you know what to expect next year. For example, at the annual kick-off, you can expect a lot of traffic on that day next year because of conflicting events in the same office. Therefore, you can allocate more time to set up in the morning.
Teachers can use interactive calendars to help young students improve memory retention. At the end of every day, teachers asked their students, "What did we do today?" The students added their daily events to the calendar and even learned some spelling in the process. And instead of saying "nothing" when asked, "what did you learn today?" the kids were able to recall the day's events.
