Google Calendar has been a huge part of the way my fiance and I keep track of what we are doing. We both have an individual calendar, and a calendar for things that we both are attending. We share these calendars with each other so when we login we can easily see everything that is going on between us. You can color code calendars so you can easily tell what type of event it is. I would highly recommend this for anyone who is struggling in keeping track of upcoming events. This has saved us a lot of time and has made making plans a breeze since we can access our calendar from anywhere. Needless to say without this we would probably miss a lot of things. Just head over to Google Calendar to get started.

Tips

1. Ever forget someones birthday? I know I always do. Create a new calendar called “Birthdays” and add an event into that calendar as a yearly recurring event with the event title as that persons name. Now every year you will see an event for their birthday.
2. You can add public calendars like Holidays etc. by clicking “Add” next to calendar, and click “Add Public Calendars”.
3. Don’t want to always view a certain calendar? Simply click the check box next to it to inactivate/activate it.
4. You can have Google Calendar notify you of upcoming events by phone (SMS) or E-mail by going to Settings -> Calendars, then click “Notifications” next to the calendar.
5. Want a reminder for a specific event? Simply edit the event and click “Add Reminder”
