It seems as if there is never enough time in our day. Juggling work and leisure, a piano lesson, hanging out with friends, dinner with family, and a consistent sleep schedule can be overwhelming. Being overwhelmed stems from not feeling in control of your actions, which can lead to anxiety about one’s self-progress. Google Calendar minimizes this issue of not having enough time with its intuitive design, making it possible to have control over your time and design your schedule.
Google Calendar is a user-friendly and effective productivity and time management calendar system. Its minimalistic, clean design, with the use of whitespace and color schemes, allows a wide range of users to use it with ease. Users have control of various calendar views, including Day, Week, Month, and Year, which can be switched to have an overview of their schedule. One of its notable features is its responsive layout, which can be accessed on a computer, phone, or tablet. Ensuring a consistent user experience across devices helps manage your schedule anywhere.
I have personally used Google Calendar for many years due to its simplicity in creating events and maintaining a schedule. Planning out my week minimizes the feeling of not having enough time because I am in control of what I want to do. The integration of the Tasks sidebar also helps in completing small tasks during the week.
To start planning out your time, start by adding priority events such as work or school. Then, add areas of interest such as creativity and sports. You can create multiple calendars to label and color manage. You can also have a shared calendar with family members to plan the next dinner outing.
We all have the same 24 hours. How will you design your time?
