Google Calendar is Awesome!

So, I've been looking for better ways to keep my schedule straight, especially now that I'm adding a PT job on top of being a parent and trying to write a dissertation. I've been using Google calendar for a couple of months and it's working wonderfully. Here's what I like:

-You can set it up so that spouses, coworkers, etc. can view your calendar and have customized levels of access. I can just put stuff on there and my husband can look and see if there's a conflict. This way we don't have arguments over having sworn we told the other about something. I can see this being an asset in some jobs, too.

-Reminders! You can get them over email, pop-up on your computer, or--and I just learned about this today!--you can get a text message on your cell phone.

-Nicely set up in terms of easily-negotiated tabs and color-coding.

-Tasks will show up on the day they're due.

-You can get your agenda emailed to you once a day at whatever time you choose.

-Can sync with various technologies like Blackberry and iPhone.

Hope this helps someone. It is really helping me.

Google

Scheduling is a problem - not so much doctor appointments but social commitments is hard or I might remember the commitment but forget to do something involved with it. I'm gonna give google calendar a try.

I use Windows Live Calendar for this

This is the reason I started using Windows Live Calendar. I set up a separate calendar for each of my kids, myself and my husband and they are all color coded so I can quickly look at my phone and see who has what and when. I add in there all of my to-do's for the day and it's been an absolute live saver. I even can share out the calendars with my husband so we can all keep up on the goings on in the house and with three kids there are a lot of them.
