Calendar Management

Plan your time starting from your calendar.

We discuss how to plan our days and weeks starting with our calendar. This is crucial to time management, as a calendar is the best tool we have that outlines all the time we have available to us.

How to run it.

When to use it

Use Calendar Management to help people take control of their time by starting with the calendar. Discussing how to plan days and weeks around the time actually available brings realism and structure to how work gets scheduled.

Use it when

  • People feel their calendars run them rather than the other way round.
  • A team wants practical time-management habits.
  • Days are filling up without deliberate planning.

Not the right tool when

  • The focus is managing tasks and to-do lists. Use Task Management.
  • You want to reduce time lost to email. Use Email Management.
