Ep 109: TIME-Streamlining Your Schedule, Calendar Efficiency Tips

Today, we're diving deep into the world of calendar efficiency because, let's face it, finding that perfect work-life balance is a constant juggling act. But don't worry; we have fantastic tools and strategies to help you stay on your game.

First, let's talk about digital calendars and my favorite, Google Calendar. I swear by it! The seamless integration with all my email addresses makes life a breeze. Plus, the ability to color code events and tasks is a game-changer. Green for work, dark green for clients – it's like having a rainbow of productivity at your fingertips.

And speaking of productivity, have you tried Calendly? It's my go-to for scheduling podcast recordings. Their user-friendly interface and automated features make scheduling a piece of cake. Just remember, when you're recording, make sure you've got a quiet and tidy space for that professional touch.

But it's not all about work; family matters, too. I've linked my kids' calendars to our family one, so we're all on the same page. No more surprises or double bookings! And for that extra oomph, I've got an Echo Show in the kitchen, displaying our family calendar for everyone to see. It's a real game-changer.

Here's where it gets interesting – the digital vs. paper calendar debate. I'm all for digital calendars, but there's something oddly satisfying about physically crossing off tasks in a paper planner. It's like a mini victory with each stroke of the pen. So, why not have the best of both worlds?

To supercharge your day, try a daily action plan. Set those specific goals, intentions, and priorities. It's like having a GPS for your day – you know exactly where you're going.

Juggling all aspects of life can be tough, but it's totally doable with the right tools and strategies. So, embrace those digital and paper calendars, make a killer daily action plan, and watch your efficiency soar.
