Just a quick update for those searching for Goals on their calendar... the goal function was removed by Google since Nov 2022.

[@kimberlynnoggle5568]

do you know of any free alternatives? the only other thing I've found to schedule tasks for you is Motion which is quite expensive

[@madd2377]

Why would they do that

[@ArtyGeek]

Such a coincidence since I just started using Google calendar yesterday!!!

[@BharathiBlogs]

Heyyy i too :)

[@dead3541]

Yo same

[@shusi8940]

Me too!

@Marina B I used a bullet journal!

[@anushkajamal]

Been using calendar since the last 2 years. It is my holy grail for university. I got my friends hooked on it as well👍🏻👍🏻

[@lilyrosepunkunicorm9871]

Cool

[@Elocinization]

So helpful! I hadn't been using Tasks to organize, but I'm realizing it's actually the best way to prioritize my high, medium, and low priority tasks without having multiple to-do lists everywhere on my desk.

The email agenda sounds golden because I always review my calendar the night before an email would be even better. Lots of good tips in this video thanks!

[@icylcy804]

Is so good to get information from another Brazilian, feels more trustworthy and like home, muito obrigada Mariana!!

[@Bukusubaru]

This is such an awesome video! I have been using Google calendar for years, and this taught me things I didn't know about. The goals feature is so useful, as it's more powerful than a simple "habit tracker" because it schedules the activity for you. I am excited to boost my productivity, thank you!

[@kimberlynnoggle5568]

Since Google removed the goals feature, have you found any free alternatives? The only other thing I've fount to schedule tasks for you is Motion, wich is quite expensive.

[@Bukusubaru]

@@kimberlynnoggle5568 If I have a repeating goal or habits to track I've been using Google Tasks! It syncs to my calendar and I can set it to recur at a specific time.

[@adityashrivastava007]

I use both Outlook Calendar and Google Calendar. The email agenda, shortcut and notion integration was really helpful for me. A Very good, productive video

[@gxxd_vibz_only]

I can't even put into words how much your videos help me. I'm so so thankful for your work. Keep up the good job ❤️❤️

[@AunaAmireArt]

[@ladyangeles8698]

[@cfloster]

Same!! I use my gcal for places I need to be and I use my passion planner for time blocking bc I write it that morning

[@Mara-qp3rl]

Is there a way to view tasks from another Google calendar on the computer? I know I can view other calendar tasks through my phone but for convenience, reasons would want to not touch my phone when I can lol

[@davidandheatherblacklock7989]

Is there a way to see how many events are scheduled each day? By the way, your video is very easy to follow and helpful!!!

[@joyk1288]

That button is a GOD SEND

[@jesidillon4593]

What's that mouse you have? Guessing more ergonomic?

[@notnataliex]

At 0:11 how did you turn on that option to add time on the left side? I see the layout of my google calendar but see no time breakdown :(

[@roldaoaguiar763]

it's funny seing some tasks in portuguese and others in english... i use the same approach, kinda messy but makes sense to me :)

[@ejs2804]

Does the IFTT also work the other way (adding an event on Google calendar and seeing it also on a calendar from iOS) ?

[@mahrukh_z]

If I set alarm for someone's bday in Google calendars, can we somehow make it repeating for every year? This was a feature, 10y back, in Nokia's calendars. Also, can we use it as planners? 👀

[@Dishanta_42]

Hey! I use Google calendar on my android phone. Can anyone please tell me how to colour code there? I can asssign specific colours to events, tasks and reminders. However I can't find a way to change the colour of a specific entry. For example: If tasks are green, I don't know how to change the colour of one certain task to let's say yellow. Any help would be highly appreciated!

[@federicat5383]

She already said in the video that you can't change the colour of every single task
