Organizing A Calendar

Organizing a calendar is one thing I've had done for years! It began when I created my first Google account. Not sure when exactly, but I do know that I'm in double digits for years and it was long before smartphones.

This is the glue that keeps us as a family on track and where we need to be.

When the kids were little, I created calendars for them inside of mine. Helping to keep track of playdates, birthday parties, and doctor appointments. Now that they are older and learning to manage a schedule, glad I've instilled in them the importance of having a calendar system in place.

Individual Calendars

The kids and my husband have individual calendars in addition to the family calendars. Their own calendars have been set up to sync with the family calendar.
If anyone adds to a personal calendar, it will show on everybody's calendars. This ensures we are not double booking.

Adding a calendar is easy peasy

Navigate to settings, under setting in the top portion of the menu it has the option to add a calendar. Select add a new calendar. A window will open for you to give the calendar a name and description.
Once the calendar been created, you can go into calendar setting to share it with family members. You can either give them access to view or edit.
Repeat this process until you have all the calendars that you need.

Business Calendar

This same process can be transitioned into organizing a work calendar as well. A few examples to create:
Social Media
Customers
Billable Time
Non-billable Time
Meetings
You can choose to turn a calendar off and on from view.

Hope this is useful. If you would like me to help with organizing a calendar system, set up a discovery call and we can chat about it.
