I have such a crazy schedule at times. It’s hard to remember everything. Is it from being over scheduled? Distracted? Mommy brain? Maybe all of the above.
One technology item that has helped me countless times is Google calendar. But not just the calendar. It’s the daily event reminders.
Every day at 5 am, Google calendar emails me my daily schedule. And since I check email as soon as I get up – yes even before coffee – I know if I have any important meetings or deadlines that day. And for whatever reason, that works better for me than trying to remember to open a calendar program. If I have something scheduled early (which I try to avoid as much as possible), then I use an alternative. But usually the email is enough.
There are other helpful features from Google calendar (and others as well) that we can highlight as well. We’ll be sure to feature them soon.
So tell us, do you rely on reminders for events? Have you trained yourself to just check a calendar? Or maybe you use phone notifications instead? Let us know what works for you and your family.
