One thing worth mentioning: there's a Google Keep Chrome extension that creates a Keep note from any webpage, saving you the copy/paste action that you showed in the video. Bonus: if you revisit that page you annotated in the future, the extension button will display in another color, signaling that you have a note attached to that URL

Nice. I use Google Keep, but did not know how well integrated it is with GMail and the calendar. I'll definitely be using this in the future

I've just started an admin job and I have never used Google Calendar before. Your videos are so clear and easy to follow, they have been a huge help to me. Thank you.

Stumbled upon your channel by accident. Ended up watching a couple of videos already and will be back for more. Thanks! Favorite tip from this one: that the related Keep note pops up whenever you open.a calendar event. Great way to keep information out of the calendar invite, but still connected. Archive tip was great too.

The favourite tip is to create a Keep note from Gmail, and getting the mail linked automatically added to the note. Super!

Excellent! I have used these products for 3+ years together and try to explain the benefits to other people without much success, now I will simply send this link. Clearly explained and I learned a couple of new things myself, this is so much easier than mixing several 3rd party products to try make a system. Thank you.

The last tip with putting the Keep link in the calendar description, you can hyperlink wording to lead right to the Keep note. (ex: "Task List" could be highlighted and the hyperlink is inserted)

GREAT TIPS!!!

I was already a fan of Google Calendar. Now I really love the productivity options. Your presentation content and pace was spot on. Give me more.

[yettastokes]

wow, I've been searching for a way to link an email to a meeting I've been invited to. You nailed it!!! Thank you so much.

[byusuf]

Loved this. I never knew that you could link emails to Google Keep. My favourite tip from today. Thank you 😊👌🏾

This was game changing! I’ve used Google Calendar and Gmail for years.

I’d always used the app Notes (on MAC and iPhone) to take notes on emails/meetings etc but this doesn’t link to Google calendar or gmail.

Now you’ve shown me the light of Google Keep and how to integrate them it is going to make life much easier! Thank you so much for this video! 🙏

Re: "Ugly Work Around" for KEEP note in Calendar event.
If you have HTML formatting enabled in calendar you will get a display with the horizontal hyperlink symbol displayed. Using that you can label the link to the KEEP note whatever you want.

[pegfischer]

The connection between Keep and Calendar is fabulous! Thanks for the many tips today.

[Hampers]

Love the idea of creating an event direct from the email using the three dots. So simple

[cperkins]

Finding this video is going to save me so much time. I had no idea you could link Keep and Calendar together. I have been doing this the hard way for weeks now. Lifesaver

[jessejames]

What a powerful video! I dont think you missed anything and all of the examples were my favorites.

[evelynrivera]

This is so helpful! I've used Gmail for a long time and really never noticed this option. Will save lots of time searching and bringing all of my information together.

[SheVikingAdventures]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I could not find the icon anywhere in calendar. It was so SIMPLE!. Had been researching for about 20mins until I came across this video. I appreciate this.

[miltonbrownrigg]

Absolutely love your content. This one was particularly helpful for me as I use all 3 tools. Keep up the brilliant work you present.

One more thing, you can use the url link to the labels to see all the notes for a certain label, like tasks or todo, etc. That way you can created a shortcut straight to that label. For example If you want a shortcut to your todo lists. Click on your todo label in keep and just paste or save the label or created it in a bookmark for you browser. Also, you can create a google keep widget on an android phone by label as well.
