What I love about Google Calendar cc-by lemasney<\/h3>\n

The Playlist for my weekly video series “What I love about…” is growing! This week is what I love about Google Calendar — the answer is productivity.<\/p>\n

Number two of fifty-two is on one of my essential tools for productivity, time management, customer relationship management, task and to-do, and scheduling, Google Calendar! This was prompted by a conversation I was having with\u00a0Peter Bromberg and friends on Facebook about what I use for productivity and time management, and I said Google Calendar. When I got some feedback that their experience was less than stellar, I decided to share a screenshot of my GCal:<\/p>\n

\"Google

Google Calendar Week of Dec 6 2015<\/p><\/div>\n

When they saw it, they asked if I would share my experience to demonstrate Google Calendar, and this week’s video is my answer.<\/p>\n
