The Caped Crusade

For those of you who listen to NPR’s Pop Culture Happy Hour podcast, you know who Glen Weldon is.  He writes about “books and comics books for the NPR website,” per the intro, and he’s a giant comic book nerd.

Welcome to Part II of You’re So Organized, where I wank on for 2000+ words about how much of my life I run with Google Calendars, and feel the chilling vulnerability of letting everyone see exactly how goofy my brain is. My brain is very goofy. In Part I, I gave an explanation of the basic tools in G:Cal, including new appointments, repeating appointments, and scheduling reminders in advance. Now it’s time to talk color and managing separate calendars! Before … Continue reading Organizing Absolutely Everything with Google Calendars: Part II – Color and Calendars

So in our planners giveaway, over 200 of you asked for an entry about how I use digital calendars from Google to manage most everything in my life. Ok! Let’s do this!
