I don't have anything to do right now, and that's even better than needing to be reminded. I make sacrifices to keep my schedule as slack as possible.

  On my calendar today: - Lunch with some friends. - A call with a client this afternoon. The first one is not "a sacrifice". The second is potentially going to make me earn one month of salary in a day of work. So yeah, I want that to be reminded to me. But even if you don't want a schedule (you are rich or don't work much, don't plan things with your friends, etc), well, a calendar is not just for what you do. E.G: I'm visiting my mother this week. Tomorrow though, I have an entry saying she is out of town. She told me that 2 days ago, and that's useful information for many reasons, but not something I want to keep in my head. Tomorrow morning, I will read it, and just integrate the information into my day. Now you might argue: friends and family or a big clients are important enough, you should not need a calendar to remember that. Or, you should not plan things with your friends, it's spontaneous. Or you should communicate with your mother. But that's not the point. I don't have a calendar because I have to. Nobody cares that I have one. I have one because it frees my mind of all those informations. This way I can focus in the now. When I'm having lunch with my friends, I'm not thinking about the client call, and yet, there is no chance for me to miss it. It's fantastic, given the price is a few seconds to add entries, and a few more to review them.
