I admit it, Google Calendar changed my life. I just joined the bandwagon this year and I am never going back to just a paper planner. Here are a few reasons why Google Calendar could change your life too:
1. It’s basically a completely portable planner.
I have my planner linked to my phone, so it is always on me. This is useful when you may not have your paper planner with you but someone asks you if you are free. It avoids the awkward “let me check and I’ll get back to you.” This will honestly just streamline your life and make planning so much easier.
2. The functionality
You can easily add color coding and other features to Google Calendar. It is a visual way to look at your month, week and day so you know when you will be especially busy. This allows you to plan ahead so you aren’t suddenly caught by a ton of work.
3. The connectivity
Google Calendar allows you to invite friends to events, allowing easy connection and of course planning. While you can take this as far as you want, it is helpful for group project meetings to make sure everyone is on the same page.
Here’s an example of typical week for me!
Add Google calendar to your life! I promise you won’t regret it!!
