Sorry, millennials, adults don't need cute stickers. What happens when they run out of "I cleaned the litter box!" stickers?

Personal stuff goes in Outlook, family stuff goes on a printed church calendar on the wall in the kitchen accessible to both Mrs. Sivana and me.

I like the “I didn’t Kill My Roommate” sticker.

I might get one of these for my stepson.

He is thirty-two and has a lot of growing up to do.

Parents/grandparents have nobody but themselves to blame. An entire generation doesn't get this pathetically effed up on its own. Every generation has defectives, but for an entire generation to be defective is a massive failure on the part of those who raised them.

When the SHTF you can already tell who has no chance. There are a few basics that could aid a person in dire circumstances. Reminders of learning those basics would be better on a calendar. Like ‘Learn to tie some knots, hitches and loops’. Like ‘Learn how to make a fish hook and line from common materials’. Like ‘ Learn how to start a fire without matches or lighter’. Like ‘Learn how to obtain contaminant free drinking water on the fly’ etc etc etc. Heck. I am getting on in years and live in a city. But I have taken the time to learn a few basics. Millenials are a smarmy bunch who think the light shines out of their rear ends. But its all illusory. All tech dependant.

The stickers are reusable, I mean after all it would be seriously flawed otherwise. They would have to adult to remember buying new stickers. 8>)

I’ve heard of 20-year-olds who can’t tell time from a clock with an hour and minute hand.

I use a calendar to keep track of appointments. I also use my phone as back up. I use the hard copy as a diary. With all my doctor appointments, it is one thing the dear husband can keep him up dated.

My hypothesis is that the lack of cell phones, turned everyone born before 1985 into planners.

You had to make plans to meet people after school or you may or may not be able to find them.

You had to plan everything ahead of time because once you left the house, your access to information was drastically reduced.

All those children who grew up with instant access to phones and now, smart phones, with instant access to everything, have different brains. Why plan lunch when you can get a craving, open your phone and have Uber eats bring it to your door in 20 minutes?

Why think ahead, plan, organize and prioritize when information is immediately available? Their brains don’t work the same. The fact that they are now required to do things at certain times requires planning. This is something they didn’t need so it’s a foreign behavior.

The goal-oriented success calendar comes with 100 colorful removable stickers, with uplifting phrases such as, “I cooked for myself,” or “I put money in the bank!”

Uplifting phrases? More hollow self praise for the simplest tasks. What next? Participation awards for breathing?
