Tips & Warnings
There are several ways to use your calendar. Print out the calendar and enter events in by hand. You could also type all of the events for the upcoming month into the calendar and then print it out. Or you could keep your calendar on your computer and manage everything from your desktop.
Choose a calendar design and layout where the date is not too large. This will provide you with greater space to enter events and information.
