The Power of Google Calendar Integrations
As a business coach for female entrepreneurs, one of my primary goals is to help my clients find balance and efficiency in their daily lives. One tool that has become indispensable in achieving this balance is Google Calendar. By integrating all my calendars into one cohesive system, I can finally take a deep breath. I've once again streamlined my work and maintained my sanity. This is why I’m so passionate about sharing all of the tech and automation that can help support you and your business.

Seamless Integration for Business and Personal Life
As an entrepreneur, my days are packed with meetings, coaching sessions, and personal commitments. Juggling multiple calendars was a recipe for disaster. Now, I have the Google Calendar widget on my iPhone and desktop to see everything coming up. Anxiety relief! This integration has helped me maintain a work-life balance crucial for my well-being and productivity.
Why It’s Important to Integrate an Online Scheduler
I know, I know. I used to love my physical calendar, too — Passion Planner was my fav. I love how she started and was excited to support a boss bad. But, I when I was still fighting the advice from many successful entrepreneurs before me to shift to an online scheduler, I started finding myself rewriting to-do lists, having to write in pencil because of the number of times my schedule shifted throughout the month, which led to smears all over the page, not having my scheduler handy, and wasting time. According to a Forbes article, businesses implementing digital productivity tools like Google Calendar see a 20% increase in overall productivity. So, their advice clicked. And now, I’m sharing these helpful tools to navigate entrepreneurship more efficiently.
A few other quick reasons why I love Google Calendar:
→ Enhancing Collaboration
My husband and I often found ourselves in a loop of repetitive questions about our schedules. “What are you doing today?” he’d ask for the tenth time. With shared calendars, we’re now on the same page, which allows us to plan better together.
→ Integrations
Tools like Trello, Asana, and Slack can sync with Google Calendar, ensuring all my tasks and deadlines are in one place.
→ Automated Reminders and Notifications
I no longer worry about missing important meetings or deadlines.
→ Color-Code Every Meeting / Event
I can quickly identify work-related tasks, personal appointments, and shared events with my husband, making it easier to manage my time.
→ Phone to iPad to Desktop
Accessibility across all devices so I can get real-time updates anytime.
How to Get Sync Calendars on Your Phone
Go to your Google Calendar (widget or app). At the bottom middle, it says “Calendars.” Then, you can click “Add Calendar” in the bottom left corner and select which calendars you’d like to see synced. It took me a minute to find this because it doesn’t say “add calendar” until you click “Calendars.”
By embracing Google Calendar integrations, you can transform how you manage your time and enjoy a more balanced, stress-free life, like me! Reach out if you need any support so you can be confident that you're using the best systems tailored to your needs.
