Cambridge Dated Planner Perfect For Families By Tina Lehman on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
When I went from being single to being in a family of five within a span of three years, I needed something to help keep all of us organized. The Cambridge Dated Planner fit the bill perfectly.
This planner is small enough (probably 5" x 7") to fit on the countertop without taking up a lot of space, but large enough to not get lost in the clutter. Each page that opens up has a week's worth of spaces to fill with appointments and meetings. Each day is segmented into times, but I have never used this option because we generally only have one or two appointments per day, at a maximum.
The Cambridge Dated Planner is good only for one calendar year, but they are inexpensive enough so that purchasing a new one each year is doable.
If you have a very busy schedule, or more than three or four people to keep track of you may want a day timer that has more space. There is also limited space for planning on the weekends, if this is a concern. But the Day Timer by Cambridge works well for my family of five.

Frogdoc, when my husband was alive I used several of these to help keep us on track. For the price they really are an excellent way to keep on task.
I am never without a planner! I'll check out this brand the next time I need one.
So I guess if I buy one of these, I can get rid of my Post-It pad? ;-)
Sounds like a very comprehensive place to keep all appointments straight, glad it works for you and your family.
I love these!! I don't have a PDA & for some reason, I'm old school & like to write things down on post its or in my daytimers!!
Your a busy lady I see how one of these would really come in handy.
I like this product. It might be old fashioned to write things down, but I prefer to see it on paper! They are not that expensive either.
What a really good price for a daytimer! I've always wanted to use one of these, but I'm one of those people who constantly flutters about, no time obligations really anymore. I'd be the one with the book that still had empty pages at the end of the year, lol.
I live for these kind of products, I love to be organized. And bless you for keeping your family organized as big as it is. Thanks for sharing.
My husband uses this exact planner... does just as well as the expensive ones!
