I'm a bit of a calendar luddite. I do keep track of my appointments electronically, but I don't sync them to Google calendar: I add them manually in my phone, and don't ever look at the calendar on my computer. Yes, other people think I'm strange.
At times I still find it useful to look at a calendar on something that's not electronic. Even fairly recently, I used to buy a paper calendar to help me track the major milestones of a big project, but I finally stopped that.
One thing that's still useful is being able to glance at what a month looks like without having to get out some device, and that's where this little perpetual calendar comes in handy:
It's a tad more than 3" wide and just about 2" tall, and from the side is shaped like a slightly bent L so it stands up on my desktop. I got it at the Walker Art Center at some point, or maybe someone gave it to me. I don't remember. (It has a 2006 copyright on the bottom.)
As you may be able to tell, you slide the dark metal part across the silver part at the beginning of each month to line up on the correct set of numbers.
The only slight problem it has is in months with 30 (or 28) days, but I'm a grownup and can deal with that inaccuracy.
