Google Calendar is an essential productivity app that keeps you on top of events and tasks in work and life. In this video I’ll show you how to use the app to keep track of personal and business appointments, set up reminders so you don’t forget important tasks and events, and get calendars from other sources that keep you informed.

If you’re like me, you’re familiar with the feeling that there’s something you’re supposed to be doing … and you’ve more than once realized it started 30 minutes ago.

Google Calendar is a free resource that can help you keep track of appointments, meetings, birthdays, and even weather forecasts.

You’ll need a free Google account if you don’t already have one — and you should probably have one anyway. Once you set it up, you’re good to go. This short video will show you how to add events, set up your own calendar, and set reminders to be sure you don’t miss anything.
