Shownotes
Our topic today came from a random conversation I had with another business owner who was lamenting how confusing it was to avoid double booking herself between her work calendar and her personal calendar. The fact that this was an issue for her kind of blew my mind. The fact that it *wasn’t* an issue for me blew her mind. A great reminder to me that not everyone whiles away their life figuring out how to get tech to work effectively.
Today I’m going to lay out how I manage my calendar, why I do it the way I do, and what tools and integrations I use to make everything work. We will definitely be talking about things like:
-
G Suite
-
Plutio
-
Assistant.to
-
Doodle
-
Book Like a Boss
-
Zapier/Integromat
