Do you schedule everything in your life in your calendar or just work-related events?

I'm definitely in the "must schedule everything in my calendar" camp but I'm curious if that's just me or my life stage!

Hi Kyra. I'd agree that it's rather important to schedule everything around :). But it's also crucial to differentiate work and private life. As for me, I plan all my private stuff using Google Calendar. This is a versatile powerhouse that caters to a broad range of users. For business issues, I always use GanttPRO - the Gantt chart maker that serves as an advanced planner and daily task manager. With its help, I know that all my projects and tasks will be completed successfully. You can find out more about this tool here - https://ganttpro.com/daily-task-....

I use Google tasks for everything. So if I set a date on a task, it will appear on Google Calendar too.

Nice @romiojoseph! This is definitely a welcome addition to GCal. We just released auto-scheduled tasks in Mayday so that when you have something important that needs to get done, it makes time for it on your calendar. "Time is finite, and our to-do lists are infinite." πŸ˜…

I like to schedule everything in my calendar. I use it mostly for personal tasks because I can see what's coming up for me to do and reschedule as needed

@kyrio Work related items are scheduled on G Calendar, for all personal Items I set reminders.
Kyra Aylsworth
@aditya_chavan3 Yeah, reminders are helpful – I plot out my work and personal items in my calendar but use Reminders sometimes too!

I schedule it all! My wife and I have a shared calendar too which is especially helpful since we share a car
Kyra Aylsworth
@entreeden I can imagine you'd want to be well-coordinated for that!

Me too! I got a TO-DO list of all things I have to do. including making a to do list for the next day! πŸ‘€πŸ˜‡

@mansi_trivedi1 Ah, a true planner – I can relate! I'm just getting used to bringing my to-do list and my calendar together using Mayday.

I tried to do such scheduling at different stages of my life. It doesn't work for me. I like self-discipline, but not that much. But I totally understand people who live on a schedule, it's totally fine, if it works for them.

Work-related events only.
Kyra Aylsworth
@sviridov Nice, you must be naturally well-organized! Sadly cannot relate. ;)

Everything! I tend to be a bit forgetful... so the calendar is a lifesaver :)

Actually, it's in between. I use Google Calendar for my work and my actual calendar for my personal activities :)
Kyra Aylsworth
@eliza_crescini When you say your 'actual calendar', do you mean a physical calendar on your desk or in your home? It's funny, as dedicated as I am to my digital calendar (Mayday, of course) I also have a paper calendar on my fridge that is 100% necessary to run my household. ;)
Eliza Crescini
@kyrio Yes, it's an actual calendar! Haha! I still love doing the old way

I have 2 apps on my phone. Google calendars for work schedule, keep track of meetings and tasks. Morning bird for personal timetable, remind me of important events. The first one is kinda common to most of you, but Morning bird's absolutely a brand new name, right? I found it accidentially on this site: https://www.producthunt.com/prod.... This calendar is easy to use with friedly user UI.
