Technology tip: Google calendar reminders
(www.myorganizedbiz.com) - 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 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.
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.

Why do you wait until 5am to know what you’re doing that day? I also use Google Calendar for tracking my responsibilities, but I check the upcoming week every Sunday, and the next day’s schedule the night before. What if you had something to do at 6am and couldn’t make it in time?

I don’t schedule things at 6am. ;)
I would actually use a different reminder in that case - usually my cell phone calendar/alarm.
