Follow up, do people still buy calendars? I was just starting to type “wut. people still buy calendars??” until i saw that. Phones kinda made them obsolete.

Less useful most definitely, but those are still used. I have one at my home, though yeah that sees minimal use. Usually next to the fridge and birthday invites or any invites are usually stored on the fridge. It's a quick glance to the calendar to see where that specific date lands in the week. Similar reason why we have one at work. At manufacturing, all the runs we do have shipment date and it's easier to just glance at the calendar on the wall to see how much time there's left to determine most efficient way to organize different runs.

I've had a smart phone since before the term existed. Paper calendars still have their uses.
