There is something about a new calendar.  It is fresh and clean and uncluttered.  Each day is scheduled ( a must for those of us with OCD); planned just as we wish.  This, of course, lasts for a day?  Then life happens, and appointments are scratched out and rescheduled, problems arise;  emergencies happen;  life with all its various changes.  But for today,  my planner is fresh and clean and uncluttered.
