More Meetings For Your Calendar
When Google first introduced their online calendar module, I was intrigued, and particularly impressed with the smooth incorporation to GMail. Over time, though, the number of potential appointments seem to have been increasing in the sidebar of my GMail app, culminating tonight with an email exchange with one of my friends:
What’s the rule for a potential calendar event? The word “meeting” and some unit of time? Is it possible to be approaching too much of a good thing? I’d frankly be interested to do a quick review of event emails, to try and determine a consistent structure. Regardless, I have a feeling that off-handedly mentioning that meetings only take one hour at work compared to grad school doesn’t constitute an actual calendar event.
But at the end of the day, I wonder if I’m a good example of a calendar user. I’m good at putting my meetings into the calendar, but I stop using it shortly thereafter. Maybe I’m not the ideal Google Calendar user.
