Wall Calendar #1

I got sick of online calendars I don’t check and wall/notebook calendars I don’t update; so I went ahead and started drawing on my wall in my room.

It’s a simple idea, but the most important feature of anything organizational should be something that makes it more likely you’ll use it all the time.

This wall calendar invites random items to be stuck on, so if I do jot down important notes, I can just stick them up and be happy with that. woh.
