Ever wanted to have your work calendar and personal calendar all in one, and be able to see them separately?
I’m not a “naturally” organized person, but would love to be! Growing up I was often late for school because I could find one shoe, but not the other. Sad, but true, I just happen to have missed that ‘natural organizer’ gene.
In my desire to be a more organized person, I get pretty excited when something works And I’m willing to go a little extreme in order find ways to keep myself organized, which leads me to this wonderful tool, Google Calender.

Hi David. Glad you found it informative. It’s a pretty awesome tool. Now if it could provide integrated scheduling I’d be over the moon with joy :)
Like David, I wasn’t even aware of the Calendar. Perhaps they need to advertise more. But, thanks for posting this. :) Have a great day- Rochelle.
Hi Rochelle. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your comment. Nice to meet you here.
Super tutorial Aileen, there’s somethings I wasn’t aware of with the Google calendar, you’ve just sharpened me up. You’re pretty good at ‘voice overs’ too. Movies next?

Hahaha Movies were a previous life – so I’ll say, not next. :) I really do enjoy this tool. Now if only it could do my laundry and dishes too :) that would be heavenly!
Aileen,
A very practical and helpful post! I use Google calendar specifically for work related matters and it helps to coordinate all my activities in easy to use and updatable way. We use this in a contract that I am coordinating currently and it makes it easy to get all the different parties and departments on the same page by giving them access to the calendar. The best thing is that it’s free! I also intend to look more into BaseCamp and other project management software, but haven’t had the time to get around to it. Have you ever used any other software, or have any recommendations?

Hi Joe. I have used BaseCamp and I like it a lot. It’s not free and I’m pretty darn frugal – I’m on the fence about making the commitment. I usually power through all the open source options first, but basecamp is pretty fabulous as far as project management. Here’s a cool wiki that compares a lot of the options out there http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_project_management_software I haven’t yet found a perfect system that integrates everything (schedule, project management, customer info CRM) but I’m on the look out!
Google Calendar has given me so many problems recently. Does anyone else experience glitches? Like adding events and then not seeing them, or seeing them double?
