Google Calendar keeps my business running smoothly and organised. Without it, I’d be lost.
With numerous business tasks competing for my attention, I rely on Google Calendar to consolidate them all. It’s my business brain, only tidier.
Here’s what makes it a lifesaver:
Colour Coding: Client work has its own colour, admin has another, and personal time gets one too. At a glance, I can see exactly how my week is shaping up.
Reminders: No more “Oh no, I forgot that call!” panic. My Calendar pings me before an event, so that I can turn up prepared (and on time).
Boundaries: Once something’s in there, it’s locked in. It prevents me from double-booking myself and ensures I actually leave space for breathing room.
What I love the most is that it’s not just about appointments. I also block out time for focused work, planning, and even switching off. It sounds small, but treating those things as important as a client meeting has made a massive difference in how I work.
So yes, coffee is excellent, but Google Calendar? That’s the real secret weapon behind Outlaw Girl Services.
Quick Tip: Try colour-coding or blocking out time in your own calendar this week, even for the small stuff. You’ll be surprised how much calmer and in control it makes you feel.
