I use my MS Outlook calendar for everything. You can set reminders years in advance! I print weekly pages on Sunday evenings for my planner (in a daily format), have the DDS write important afterschool stuff in their school planners, and then anything that requires DH's attention/presence gets added to his iGoogle calendar...he uses it for work and I have access to it from home....if I ever have time to really play with the iGoogle print options and find one I like, I may switch to that.

One thing that DOES help is blocking appointments: we all see the dentist at the same time (DH usually at least in the same week) We're on the same schedule for eye exams (DD17 every year (contacts), the rest of us every 2) and DD17 and I are now on the same yearly "wellness" check-up schedule with our medical care provider.

I'm afraid I don't have many appointments to "make," just the basic, dental/medical/eye wellness stuff...our lizard doesn't get shots so.....I'm not much help!
