This video is so great. You just took me to all the details and I wanted to know in a way that I'll understand. I tried using google calender like six months ago and I searched for tutorial videos but any of those really helped me. So Thank You.

This is-sorta like Outlook. I never knew you could do so much on Google calendar. And she does a good job of explaining it. That was a lot of information in a short time. She talks fast so it keeps your attention and also keeps you focused on what she is saying. Great job 👍 ✨

there’s a default calendar for tasks that let’s you do what you did in both 3:38 and 9:30.

it’s connected to google task which you can also see in the sidebar on the right just below where google keep is. enter the task and time in a checkbox, and it automatically adds to your calendar. check the task calendar in your calendars and you’re done
