One thing with me is that I always chase top organization, from setting products in my Shower organizer and Pantry that decantes to keep all events and activities. But I am picky in that I need my systems to be simple, seamless and above all comfortable. Add a busy husband and a five -month old in the mixture, and our household’s desire stability wherever we find it. I have dabbed physical to-do lists (and I will admit that I love the ritual to cross things) and have relied strongly on the Google calendar over the years, but I have officially moved on to a new obsession that has completely changed how my family remains sound: Skylights max digital calendar ($ 620). I know, the price is steep. Still, when I come in, it has made such a difference in our daily that I think it is well worth it.

What I like with the skylight calendar Max
There are many things I love with Skylight Max Digital Calendar, but what stands out most is how intuitive it is, and how easy it makes it for my husband and me to stay on the same page. We used to constantly get our wires crossed about who did what, and a shared Google calendar never really stuck. But with this unit we have each our own skylight profile: his events appear in blue, mine in pink and everything we do together can be assigned both of us (or the whole family) with just a crane. Even our baby has a profile. While his “schedule” is mostly the doctors’ meetings right now, it makes it so much easier to separate baby -related events from my own and find them quickly.
Another feature I love is how easy it is to synchronize other calendars. For example, when I accept a Google invitation to a working meeting, it automatically appears on my skylight. Each profile even has its own unique e -mail address, so about a friend and I make dinner plans I can only forward the details (or even a screenshot) to my skylight, and the event pops up on the calendar. Worth noting: You must activate two -way synchronization first, but set it in your account settings (on your phone or the skylight itself) takes only a minute. From there you can choose between two -way synchronization (so edits you make on skylights appear in your other calendars) or one -way synchronization, which pulls outside events in but will not press skylights. The latter is practical if you would rather keep some things that just live on your skylight.
And if synchronization is not your thing, you can always enter events directly on the device or in the skylight (or make a mixture of both, as I do). I often use the app on my phone, and it is as streamlined as the wall -mounted calendar. Events are automatically updated over all connected devices, so everyone in the family can see what happens without even touching the calendar on the wall.
There is more to Skylight Max Digital calendar than just, yes, the calendar. It has a task section where each family profile gets its own virtual sticky remark. You can assign yourself (or each other) to-dose, setting flexible or specific due date and check out things as you go. There is also a custom reward section (something I know will be practical when my little one gets older), plus a meal planning feature that lets you map breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks for the week or even the month. You can create customizable lists for everything from food runs to Package for a trip. This is what it looks like in the app when you open it (left image) and when you click on tasks (right image).

And last but not least, photos: Skylight actually started as a digital photo frame, so the technology is built directly. When the calendar is not in use, you can either show a favorite image or get that bike through a gallery, just like a digital frame.
What to think about about the skylight calendar Max
Obviously, the biggest thing is to think about the price. It is an investment, to say the least. Can my family work without it? Absolutely. But has it made our daily and more streamlined day? Without a doubt! I wouldn’t say it’s something everyone needsBut if you have longed for a little more structure (whether you realize it or not) it can just be exactly what click. One thing that is worth the flag, however, is that you need a skylight plus subscription to unlock all features, which have another $ 79 per year. (I know, Bla.) Without it, you do not have access to photo splays location, meal planning section or pursuits.
Another thing to consider from a visual perspective is that if you buy the bench version you can turn it from horizontally to vertically (and back again) whenever you want, and the screen will rotate automatically. But if you wall mount what I did, however, you must choose an orientation in front, so horizontal or vertical. When mounted, it cannot physically rotate without taking it down and reassembling. I address this because I originally chose horizontally, but after a few months of use I think vertical may have been the better conversation. Since we tend to juggle lots of activities in a single day, the higher view would probably make everything easier to see in a moment.
