Think, Organize, Communicate & Collaborate

For a quick and easy way to keep track of your family’s comings and goings, there is no better to communicate than with a calendar whiteboard or planner. But not just some ordinary, run-of-the-mill calendar from the Sierra Club or ESPN. No, this calendar should have only one single, solitary purpose – to help you and your family stay better connected.

Quartet® has many unique monthly planners with easy-to-clean writing surfaces that deliver exceptional performance at home or at the office. The Envi™ Dry-Erase Planner Board is a versatile organizing tool that not only functions as a monthly calendar, but is also a magnetic bulletin board as well. And with a set of bold, quick-erase ReWritables® Mini-Markers, each family member can have their own personal color for quicker identification.

For ultimate visibility and efficiency, place the planner in the most high-traffic area of your home (which is normally the kitchen). Quartet’s ReWritables have fine marker tips that deliver precise, readable lines that are perfect for messaging. And the dry-eraser marker caps let you quickly edit and update family status reports with ease.

Pick the planner size that fits your budget and family needs. Obviously, the bigger the planner, the more message space is available. But as they say: “Brevity is the soul of wit.” Messages or family notes should be short, sweet and to the point.

Many whiteboards or planner boards have magnetic surfaces, so you can also post noteworthy items, such as straight-A report cards and local family-restaurant coupons.

This inexpensive social planner can keep you better informed of your family whereabouts and help provide peace of mind.

Using a whiteboard to communicate with your spouse and the kids probably won’t significantly reduce your monthly phone bill, but you might want to schedule family meeting about it. Just put a note on the board.
