How to Use a Mouse Pad as a Calendar

Personalizing your mouse pad makes working at your computer a little bit livelier and homey. You can even use your mousepad to help you get a little more organized. Try using your mouse pad as a calendar; it's easy to do.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Decide what type of calendar mouse pad works best in your office. If you choose an insert mouse pad, you change the calendar monthly and can even add a photo. A standard yearly calendar mouse pad means all the months of the year are available at a glance. An interesting type of calendar mousepad is a tear-as-you-go monthly variety.

2. Make sure the calendar mouse pad you decide to purchase includes a protective sheet that cleans easily with a damp cloth. Mouse pads tend to get smudged from use and need to be cleaned instead of replaced.

3. Realize if you use a calendar mouse pad, hanging a calendar on the wall becomes unnecessary. Hang photographs or paintings instead, adding color and flair to your office.

4. Schedule an appointment by glancing at your calendar mouse pad. See today's date and compare it to your appointment calendar in your computer.
