How Do You Use Your momAgenda?
August 30, 2010 2:46 PM
A friend on Twitter recently asked me how I use my momAgenda to stay organized. I know that many, many of our customers have their own unique way of customizing their agenda so that it works for them, and I am really interested in hearing what you do that might be unique or different.
As for me, it's really pretty straightforward. In the monthly section, I schedule in my workouts (I later transfer those workouts to the weekly views). It may seem odd, but it was not until I started scheduling in my workouts consistently, that I actually started to do my workouts consistently! Now I get a lot of pleasure out of completing my workout each day and checking it off. I even check it off if it is a rest day! Here is my monthly view for September; I am training for a half-marathon in October so there a re lots of runs scheduled:
As for the weekly views, I put my personal and business appointments in the top half of the page. I make my weekly to-do list in the space on the far left that says "my week." On the lower half I put my kids names in each of the boxes and put their activities in the corresponding days. When any of their activities intersect with mine, I will write it in my section as well. For example, today Matt has football, so that's written in his box today. My babysitter will bring him there but I am picking him up, so I will write in my section, "5:30 - pick up Matt." Here is a weekly view from my day planner:

I use my momAgenda to write my to do's in the my week section on the left as well. I only have two children so I use the other two spaces for my husbands schedule and our pets, like vet appointments and such. I also use the movie section to jot down when I see a movie I want to watch and when its coming out at the theater because I always get busy and forget, then if I don't make it to the movies I have a list of movies I know I wanted to see when they come out on dvd. When I hear a current song or an old one that brings back memories I would like to purchase and I can't do it that minute I jot it down in the music section so I can buy it for my ipod when I have time. I use the monthly views for any recreational event I would like to attend so I don't forget and it's easy to find. I also have the large pockets in which one I use for loose papers and the other I use to put my husbands love notes he writes me in that year so they are all in one place in case I want to remind myself how sweet he is if I seem to forget. And that's how I use my momAgenda :)

I would love to be able to use my MomAgenda but can't because the app has a bug which means the calendar is a year out which makes it useless.
Nobody seems to want to respond to this issue or to offer a fix. Very frustrating and very poor customer service.

Thanks for the information on how you use your momAgenda. This is the 1st year I have used it and am getting excited to buy my next one for 2011. I also use the section on the left under My Week to schedule all my Things To Do, I only wish there was more space as my lists usually does not fit in the small box.

Ruth,
Several people posted on Aug 31st about the various problems they're having and the admin responded that they are addressing the issues. They didn't go into any detail as to what they're doing, though.
I sincerely hope that they not only do an upgrade that fixes these issues -- and fast -- but that they post that they've done so on fb, this site, etc.
I know that doesn't help you, and I'm really sorry that nobody "official" has responded to your post, but I thought I'd let you know what what I read there.
