I’m a very busy person and I’m always at a computer – either at work or at home. I like to have an easily updated, accessible calendar nearby at all times to help me keep track of everything that’s going on. I find the best way to do this is to have calendar plugins on each computer that can interact with one another. However, my requirements differ. While I want a calendar with all my appointments, tasks and events displayed prominently on my computer desktop at home, I don’t want that same calendar projected at work for all the office to see. I do want my items accessible, but in a slightly more private area. The solution I found works best includes the following:
\n
\n1. At work, I have to use Outlook as my email program to keep emails compatible with everyone else in the office. To avoid installing more programs and keep some level of privacy, I decided to use Outlook’s calendar tool.<\/p>\n
2. At home, I use Active Desktop Calendar, a fun and useful calendar program that displays the current and next month on your desktop, along with upcoming events and todo lists.<\/p>\n
3. To keep from having to input calendar entries more than once, I use my Google Calendar exclusively to update events. I then synch both Active Desktop Calendar and my Outlook calendar (by using the Remote Calendars plugin<\/a>) to download my Google Calendar every time they load, to keep up to date. I find this is an extremely useful solution to my calendaring needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’m a very busy person and I’m always at a computer – either at work or at home.
