I use Morgen Calendar it basically does the same thing as Akiflow, for me and I don’t have to pay an expensive fee.
First. It is so useful
🥰
Do you calendar block for yourself and kids together? trying to meld our routines into something cohesive is SO difficult!
Totally get that. I block everyone’s life if they live with me haha. Sometimes it’s cohesive. Sometimes it goes awry. But we just gotta do what we can to the best of our ability! Anything specific about this that you struggle with?
I often think when I see you, it would be easier for me to return to a normal life in a house. Traveling full-time I always have some challenges. Most of them are driving time and internet problems. It’s very annoying because I can’t really do anything about it except give up and return to living a house. I wonder if there’s anything I could do while driving… (except listening to audiobooks, podcasts, phoning a friend) Have a great day 👋
I keep trying to use tools like this, but corporate email is locked down & they don’t allow you to load software onto your work computer, so work and personal tasks are separately tracked. It’s a disaster, because I never have my work calendar handy when I’m at the doctor, for example, and it never fails that the ONLY appointment available for something in two months is the EXACT day some meeting is happening. I always wonder how people who have normal W-2 office jobs manage to do this.
You should be able to export your work calendar or link it to your Google calendar. I forget how I did this, but it worked a few years ago. You still have to use their email client, but at least you can view your schedule.
Completely get this! I have my work calendar on my phone and am working on integrating my Google calendar into the same place. Still a WIP but it’s getting there.
I used to have a basic week plan with something assigned to each day. Then my kids grew up, my husband died, and it’s just me. It is VERY hard to set a routine unless it’s for doctor appointments or something. I try to plan, but then I usually have a health setback that ruins those plans. It’s very defeating. So, I just have to get up the next day and start over again, hoping to make progress.
I’m so sorry for your great loss.😢❤
What if you don’t have control over your meetings?
Do you have any advice for someone who works a full time with split shifts and would like to get things done, have a hobby and continue studying? 😢
