Regardless of what method you choose to organize, it only works if you use it. 

My husband uses an all digital calendar. This is great for work, but not working so well for home. After forgetting an event and constantly asking what the next thing is, I decided I wanted to create a paper calendar that is useful for him. Now, I just need to keep it up to date and encourage him to look at it. Right now, the calendar stays open on the desk in the living room and the layout is simple.
