That's funny. I use my phone sometimes as well. I could see a watch be very helpful as well. For me, I find the planners most helpful when dealing with work. I can write my lesson schedule down and easily check it whenever I have my planner with me. Then, I like using it as a diary, using the open space for each day to write down what I did and any notes about my children. I've done this part for the past two years and hope it will someday help everyone recollect how the kids grew up.
