Mastering Calendar Management for Maximum Productivity, with the companies I've worked with I’ve learnt that calendar management is essential for efficiency. From scheduling meetings across time zones to organizing travel, I’ve mastered tools like Google Calendar and Outlook to prioritize tasks and avoid conflicts. Effective calendar management has not only improved workflow but also kept teams on track and ahead of schedule, reducing stress and boosting productivity

Any tips for those of us trying to get our teams to use their calendars more? I have a couple of people on my team who refuse to update their calendars regularly and it messes everything up for the rest of us trying to schedule meetings. Would love to hear some tips!

OP all of these things you mentioned here are very important in our role. I think managing someones calendar well can make you a very valuable asset because that is one of those things that nobody wants to do.

I don't have a driving licence or a car, cause I have a health condition growing up and driving is not ideal for me.

I live in a city where the subway is accessible to clients, so it hasn't been an issue so far and sometimes I can Uber. And of course due to COVID, it's all remote now. I understand directors/partners usually travel much more and would worry!
