Interesting you should mention using Google calendar for that. I have a LivSimpl tip that’s really similar.

It’s mostly my fault, though not entirely. I sometimes don’t use the planner just out of laziness. During the school year it’s useful to keep on top of readings, lunch meetings, and when I have them, interviews. But during the summer I do the same thing almost every day — I go to work and come home. So I simply don’t need a calendar much. During those times I set up Google Calendar to email me alerts when I have something out of the ordinary scheduled.

Thanks for the comment. Out of curiosity, why don’t you “use it as much as [you] should”?

I don’t use a moleskin planner, but I do use something similar. I have a cheap little spiral-bound planner about the size of a checkbook that breaks a year down by week. It has several lines for each day, which is usually sufficient. I’ve found it especially helpful to keep up with readings for school and appointments or meetings. I don’t use it as much as I should, but when I do put it to use, it’s very helpful.
