Many of us use Google Calendar for reminders about appointments and Zoom calls, but there's so much more you can do with the app. And because it's free, everyone from beginners to seasoned organizational pros can use it to streamline their schedules.
1. CREATE A NEW CALENDAR
Work tasks, personal meetings, and other day-to-day errands can really clutter up your schedule. Luckily, you can create separate, color-coded calendars for each aspect of your schedule. No need to look at a wall of blue boxes.
To add more calendars, click the plus (+) icon next to Other calendars on the lower-left side, then choose Create New Calendar. Name and color-code the new calendar however you want. When finished, you can check or uncheck the box next to the calendar name to show or hide its tasks on your main calendar so you only see what’s important.
2. HOW TO SHARE A GOOGLE CALENDAR
Sometimes it’s useful to share your calendar with others so everyone can keep track of important events. People you share your Google Calendar with can see it in their own calendar view and choose to hide it if they want. You can also customize and restrict what they see.
Find the calendar you want to share from the list under My Calendars. Click the three-dot menu next to the calendar and select Setting and sharing. In the settings menu, click Share with specific people > Add people.
