Filling up the calendar

I didn’t realize how lost I feel when I don’t have an appointment calendar with space for the next three months or so until the 2007 one from OCLC arrived and I instantly put in all of my upcoming events. Without the calendar it’s like there’s a vague temporal blur ahead with activites swimming in and out of focus, but nothing is fixed and things could be missed completely. When they’re written down they go into the memory in some kind of formal sense and I can then start planning. Weird, I know.
