By repeating them you 'introduce' them in your own day to day activities. Always use your Mac Desktop Calendar to your advantage. After all, these photo calendars are right here to help you to improve manage Your time and effort!
So then, using a schedule, how can you start to 'super manage' your time?
1: The first approach is to make notes about future plans and meetings right on your desk calendar. (You can also do this if you have a desktop calendar on your PC or Mac, or if you have a company diary or business schedule). The key is, when you know a specific date for a task, to jot it down immediately.
This is a good habit to fall into, and the quickest way to learn to get this done habit is simply by doing it often, perhaps for 30 days (or longer). It'll then turn into a normal a part of your daily planning or weekly planning procedure.
2: Another way to better manage your time would be to simply 'plan the night before.' This is another routine that will feel strange until mastered, till it's part of your daily planning process. Choose a specific time every day and resolve to do the next times planning when that time plants up.
The great thing about this is it lets your subconscious mind turn over the projects you've written lower, during the night. Sometimes you'll get up in the morning and know exactly how to approach or work through an otherwise challenging goal. You'll find it really helps to give yourself some 'mental' planning space.
3: The third way to use a desktop calendar successfully is by creating in a due date. Write the deadline to the calendar itself. By having a deadline you tend to force yourself to get things done quicker, and put a specific degree of urgency on jobs.
You know this works well - think about if you need to catch a flight somewhere. You know you have to be at the airport in a certain time - or you'll skip your airline flight. So you start thinking about all the things you need to do, and what difficulties you might be confronted with on the way.
Having a due date gives you an urgency and pushes you to get the goal or project done in the allotted time.
The activities above are habits that will feel quite uncomfortable at first. Remember, everything in hard prior to it's simple. Changing habits takes some real practice to get correct. The best way is simply by repeating the actions every day for a month!
