I like to keep everything in my work calendar and my bf likes his google calendar, so at the beginning of each week we go over what we are doing and put things in our calendars. I've thought about a shared google calendar but I really only want to look at 1 thing everyday so we don't share and it seems to work out pretty well.

The kids keep a huge school calendar posted on the wall with a box of markers tacked up beside it.

Wife and I both use Google Calendar for everything. We both have Droids so it's pretty easy to keep track of. We don't use a shared calendar but you can add someone else's calendar to your view so that it shows up in a different color.

When I lived with my ex, we actually used the whiteboard fridge calendar. Worked pretty well as long as we both actually used it (I did, she didn't).

I've been a Palm user for ages, so I have about a billion digital schedules. Fortunately, my phone merges them all pretty seamlessly. I just wish WebOS had the old PalmOS agenda view, because I'm pretty shit at remembering what's upcoming. I think that's in 2.0.

I have a virtual sticky note in my Stickies application that is my calendar. The calendar is kept in list form. We can both add stuff to it, though mostly I do.

Sorry, brainfart. I didn't get a lot of sleep due to the OBL stuff last night (happened just as I was supposed to be going to bed, of course). Rather than being a long discourse on how awesome I am at digital scheduling, I meant that as a preface to me saying that if you need help with Google Calendar sharing or anything to let me know. It's pretty easy if you both have GMail addresses, though you still need an easy way to get that information to you (whether it's a desktop widget, your phone, or iCal is up to your own gadgetiness). I used to never use them because unless I logged in to gCal specifically, I'd never look at them.

Right now, I use a Palm Pilot for my scheduling, which I never synch with anything because I like having my schedule in a separate device (partly because I keep client's appointments listed there and there are confidentiality issues, partly because I like to keep my work appointments and personal phone & computer as separate entities).

Ikkyu2 more or less relies on memory for his non-work events and on his office staff for work stuff. He's got an iPhone, which may be the best device for him to use for a calendar.

I use gmail and he doesn't, but we could certainly set up an address for him.

I guess with Google Calendar, I'm just not sure if we should have one calendar or two separate ones that we share with each other? I worked at a place that had an online calendar on which each individual's appointments would show up as a separate color, and I thought that was through Google Calendar, but I couldn't find that option this morning.

Ad Hoc verbally or via email or IM. Plus mostly it's predictable. Often we remember each others' schedules better than our own and need a reminder of our own appointments.

I really, really like google's calendars. I have moved to an iPhone and was concerned about how it would translate, cos I was an android user before, but honestly, I think I prefer the iPhone.

Making an event from the phone is super easy, and you can choose which, (I have three) calendars to which to add the event. My ex and I have a shared calendar that we use for the kids' events, and then I have two of my own (one is exclusively for bills/paydays, etc) and it DOES show up colour coded when I look at either the web interface, or the iPhone.

I do think, though, that it's way easier of both you and ikkyu2 has gmail addresses - I'd suggest if you are creating one for him, to use his calendar as the shared one, that way it'd be the most transparent for him to access through his phone!

I use Google calendar and a white board on the fridge. My husband and I have a lot of days off together. When we don't I always email him important upcoming events and my work schedule. And of course we look on the whiteboard.

We use a blotter calendar on the fridge. We did try to coordinate Google Calendars but it didn't work adequately for us because I manage my life via Google calendars and have, I think, 6 different color-coded calendars, and he had 2, and it was just too chaotic. It also didn't sync perfectly, for some reason. So we now update the fridge calendar and have weekly or so conversations to coordinate things. If something from LT's calendar needs to go onto mine I just manually enter it into my own Google "Personal" calendar.

We put a regular calendar up (usually one of those freebies from an animal charity) and my husband usually notes important stuff on it. It is on the wall near our dining room table. But really, he is the one that uses it. Our coordination is really that mostly we just talk to each other and send each other copies of confirmations and email reminders.

Oh, and I check with him and vice versa before I finalize scheduling things.

We each have a google calendar, with sharing privileges, but at the end of each month, I print out next month's calendar and tape it to the front door. The calendar on the door gets pretty marked up by the end of the month.

The mister keeps that stuff in his iPod. He sends me an email and I add it to my calendar in Windows Live Mail. He verbally reminds me every so often because even with email and calendar I can't remember shit.

I use my work (Outlook) calendar for everything, although I mark my own stuff with a 'personal' label. It syncs to my iPhone and iPad and I always have one or the other with me. Anything that impacts on home/family stuff I let my partner know and she does the same. She uses a DayTimer paper diary, although she's trying to wean herself off that and onto her iPhone.

I have a personal google calendar and a work Exchange calendar that both update to my iPhone. I live by those. He doesn't use a calendar, but he has a gmail account an I set google calendar up on his iPhone. When we are both scheduled to do something (tickets for a show, vet appt, etc) then I ad it to my calendar and send him an invite so at least he's aware of it. That seems to work for us right now.

I see I wasn't too clear. I do keep electronic calendars for myself -- via Outlook, which feeds into my Google calendar, as well as into apps on my smart phone and Itouch. I'm sure my husband also keeps an electronic calendar at work on his computer. But for coordinating with each other (after which we update our calendars individually) we use talk and email and my husband often notes our plans on the rescue calendar that hangs by our dining room table.

At our house we have a big chalkboard with a couple of buckets and some hooks hanging under it, on the wall right near the front door. Mail goes in buckets, keys hang from hooks, and chalkboard is split into sections for schedules for the two who have jobs, a tiny section for me to write in anything that I'm doing/want to do during the week, and a fourth bit where we can jot down errands that need to be run or things that need to be picked up from the grocery store ("beer" is on there permanently).

At our house we have a big chalkboard with a couple of buckets and some hooks hanging under it, on the wall right near the front door.

I would *love* to do something like that, but we don't really have the right layout for it. From the garage you come right into the family room, with no real foyer-type space, and we don't really use the front door that much.

I think I may try some combo of shared google calendars and a calendar on the fridge (I like the idea of printing the google calendar out), and see what we end up using more.

Thanks all!
