THINKBIN FAMILY CALENDAR SOLVES BACK-TO-SCHOOL CHAOS New Calendar Keeps Busy Families Organized
August 11, 2004 -- Getting organized is one of the biggest challenges facing busy families today. And with the kids heading back to school in the fall, managing everyone’s schedule can be overwhelming. Now parents can get--and stay--organized all year long with Thinkbin Family Wall Calendars designed specifically for families.
The newly-revised 2004-2005 Thinkbin Family Calendar is a highly effective way for millions of families with school-aged children to manage their busy lives. The large-format, family-friendly calendars begin in August—the start of the academic year, and the “real” New Year for families with school-aged children. Available in two sizes, the 17-month calendar provides ample space to efficiently track the activities and obligations of all family members.
“The Thinkbin calendar is a back-to-school tool that will help families get organized for the new school year and beyond,” says Susan Anderson, co-founder of Thinkbin, and a mother of three herself. “Being organized reduces stress, saves precious time, ensures that important appointments are not forgotten, and allows us to recognize when we’re simply overscheduled.”
• Large daily blocks divided into Morning, Afternoon and Evening allow for recording activities chronologically and viewing them, at a glance, to see where you have free time or scheduling conflicts. • “Reminders” and “To Do” Sections ensure important tasks and details are not forgotten. • Ample space to record frequently called phone numbers and a Next Year Planner keep you organized for the year ahead. • Available in two sizes: Large (17” X 24” open) for families that prefer extra space to write and Compact (11.5” X 18” open) for smaller spaces.
Thinkbin Family Calendars were created by Susan Anderson and Claudia Browne, two enterprising mothers—each with three school-aged children--who failed to find a calendar that could meet the needs of their busy families. In 2000, they set out to design and publish their own, and the Thinkbin calendar was born. Since that time, thousands of Thinkbin calendars have been sold everywhere through school fund raisers and their web site, www.thinkbin.com.
