An up-to-date calendar is the friend that makes sure you show up to appointments, meetings, recitals, and family dinners on time.
Your calendar helps you stay organized even when your schedule is so hectic that you are tempted to create a separate to-do list just to manage your original to-do list.
If you are an active Gmail user and regularly pick Google's tools over the competition, then there's just one calendar out there for you:
The excellent (and updated) Google Calendar 2018!
Need to invite a group of colleagues to a meeting or ask a friend to lunch? Google Calendar makes it easy to schedule events and add all sorts of extra details.
After you pick the time and date, you can add an address, set up a video conferencing link through Google Hangouts, make notes, upload files, and –of course– invite your guests.
Have a recurring event? No need to re-enter it every week.
Google makes some common-sense suggestions and lets you set custom times.
Sharing your calendar is easy. Just click on the three dots next to the calendar you'd like to share, then select Settings and sharing.
From there you can share your calendar with different people and manage permissions.
