Getting Organized With Google Calendar

We’ve all heard the phrase “time is money”. Yet how much time and money do we waste by not (finally) getting organized?

If you are still carrying around a paper-based “day-planner” or dog-eared pocket calendar full of illegible “to-do” lists, I have a suggestion for you: Google Calendar.

Google Calendar is a free online/mobile organizer application to help you keep up with your daily tasks, meetings, appointments, and payments.

You can create multiple calendars with Google Calendar, and you can choose to share any (or none) of them with family, friends, associates – or whoever you want to share with.

In a way, Google Calendar is like having your own personal assistant – continuously alerting you to the things you need to take care of.

How Does Google Calendar Work?

Since it is a web-based application, Google Calendar will run on virtually any operating system, as long as you have a Web browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Chrome, or Safari.

And it is very easy to use!

Just log-in and add your event to your calendar- with details such as time, place, duration, etc. That’s it.

Your events will be stored online, and now you can view your Calendar from any location that has internet access. (Now at least you’ll never lose your calendar!)

But what good is a calendar or to-do list if you don’t have access to it all the time?

No problem.

Just sync Google Calendar up with your cell phone and your email address – and you’ll receive email notifications, or text message notifications.

Want a text or email from Google Calendar one day prior to a dentist appointment, or 7 days before your mortgage is due?

Google Calendar will handle it for you! Your reminder will appear in your email in-box, or on your cell phone (or both!).

To get started with Google Calendar – simply visit Google Calendar and set-up your free account.

But hurry – before you forget to do it!
