Effective appointment calendar software should have the ability to create multiple categories, display a monthly view, create reminders and provide recurrence capability. In this article series I will go in-depth into the above features and show the valuable benefits of each one. When your appointment calendar software can create multiple categories for you, it puts you at a great advantage for being able to organize your life so that tasks are accomplished faster with better accuracy. For instance, some appointment calendars only give you appointments and events as categories. Well, you know your life consists of more than just appointments and the blanket-catch- all events. How about daily to do lists, projects, soccer and tennis schedules? Wouldnt it be more valuable to be able to break this specific information into its own categories? Sure it would! For each category, you should be able to have a yearly calendar. You should be able to save daily information, set recurring information and have reminders for that category. Lets say your are a solo entrepreneur. Undoubtedly you will have a "to do" list at the office and a "to do" list at home. With an appointment calendar with the ability to create multiple categories, you can now split those to do lists and provide a separate yearly calendar support system around each lists information. As you can see, the benefits of multiple categories are far reaching. If you take a moment and begin to brainstorm the categories that you could use to organize your life, it will quickly become apparent to you that we have barely scratched the surface regarding category possibilities in this article. You should also see that appointment calendar software which only allows two categories does a great disservice to your complex and busy life. In part 2, we will explore the concepts and details of a monthly view. Talk with you then! (c) Copyright 2005 Olan Butler All Rights Reserved |
