Little Note From Me
Hi everyone,
I hope you're doing well. I find that I do my best and feel my best when I have my life "sorted" and one of the ways I keep it sorted is with google calendar. In this video I wanted to share how I set up and use my Google Calendar, how I input To Do Items and Due Dates, and how including Office Hours really improved my organisation when I was in undergrad (uni). I also share some tips on sharing your calendar and setting up notifications. I really hope it helps.
If you're watching this video live then have some understanding with yourself - you don't have to be on the top of your game right now, it's okay to not be okay. But maybe setting some structure to your day will help you, maybe trying a new way to organise your life will feel like a fresh start.
Stay Safe, Stay Kind.
Emma

What I'm Grateful For
As I write this I'm honestly just very grateful to be where I am. Even with everything going on in the world right now I don't think I'd choose to be anywhere else, yes I'm away from my family but we are safe. Yes classes are online but I'm studying Medicine. Yes there is a global crisis, but I'm studying to be in the field that can HELP.

my calendar will be full of watch Netflix and crying myself to sleep can’t wait to set it up 🤓
may I suggest using tomato red for Netflix and blue for tears? 😂 we've all been there! Hope this semester/year/month goes better for you!
HOW do you not have more likes/subscribers? after watching a thousand videos of how to use google calendar, yours was the only one I could understand, it was so easy and to the point!
Hi there! Thank you so much that really means a lot. I'm so glad the video was helpful! I hope you're feeling much more organised now :)

this was one of the most helpful, most straightforward vids I've seen on google calendar that I've ever seen!! thank you so much!
Ah! That actually makes me so happy! I'm glad it helped!!
This has helped me be so much more organized for nursing school, and all of the craziness with COVID scheduling. Can't thank you enough!
I am so glad to hear that! Best of luck with Nursing school - I know first hand it's hard to be a healthcare student right now, but I'm sure you've got this!
I recently planned to start organizing my activities through Google Calendar and I discovered myself so confused as soon as I opened the app. Luckily, this video came up just when I was about to search for a beginner's guide on CZcams. Thanks Emma for this amazing video!
So if you can't tell... I've spent a lot of time using Google Calendar... and I like to think I've optimised the system for students. This is what works for me so I thought I would share it. Hope it works for you!
And here's the Todoist video to go along with your Calendar! czcams.com/video/CrIiNDO95UU/video.html

this was the best way to show us. thanks I was wondering how you extended the time but then I saw that you swiped it down . thanks
Did you ever do the todoist vid? I can't find it.
@@crazeechick81 I did! It should be linked in the cards of the video I’ll have to double check that.
But here’s the link czcams.com/video/CrIiNDO95UU/video.html
@@patriciafigueroa7588 glad you figured it out from the visual! Sorry I missed that point!
@@EmmaB_MD Thank you, going to try Todoist now, I've been using google keep all this time but I like the progress report Todoist gives you.
OMG your explaination is so clear and efficient. I didn't know where to start, and have been watching a few youtube videos since yesterday, yours is the best! Thank you for taking the time to share this. Et voila, thanks from Paris!
Aw that really means a lot to me! I'm so glad it was helpful :) Bonjour Paris , merci beaucoup d'avoir regardé (forgive me I haven't studied french in a while)!
This is very much helpful. Thank you so much for sharing Emma.
I just started my freshman year of college the other day. I followed your video and set my calendar up with you and it is so helpful! I added a separate calendar for due dates personally!
That's so great! I'm glad I could help :) Ah do dates on a seperate calendar is a good idea! (Hopefully it's always visible so you don't miss anything!)
Thank you so much for this video! I just started my classes at UW and this seems like such a great way to stay organized!
Aw I'm so glad! I hope it helps :) Good luck in your classes!
Just got started out yesterday, and I needed this very much to know how to add an event to a specific calendar. I couldn't do that before, but it was that small feature which made a huge difference in my calendar experience. Thank you❤
Glad you found what you needed! I really think it makes a difference!
Tysm! You have no idea how much I needed this! Had an assignment on creating a google digital calendar and had no idea how to do so at all! Haha.
Perfect timing! So glad it was helpful!
Just come across this video and it completely changed my gcalendar game! Thanks for all the tips and tricks 🤗🤗🤗
Thank you for this informational and very helpful video. I am excited to use google calendars this semester for my classes.
AHHH, not even half way through and I’m already loving this video. So straightforward and helpful. ❤️❤️❤️

This was very helpful. Thank you!
Awesome organization! I'm sure this will help me a lot this semester. Thank you so much!!

These are some great tips for all students. Going to be implementing this for my MSW classes.
Beautiful video with some additional writing in videos. Thanks a lot.
Thank You so much for this video Cindrella
i love the unchecking the office hours calendar idea!! i will definitely be using that this semester, thanks so much
It's so helpful, and makes the calendar so much less messy! Glad to help :)
Have been looking for this kind personal way of setting up the calendar as university student, I appreciate your sharing very much, thank you.
Excellent! I'm glad it was helpful! Hope you have a very organised school year ahead haha!
this was extremely helpful and I wish i had seen this when I first started college
This was a great video! They have updated it even further and its truely amazing.
Thank you! Yes Google Calendar is always so so good and staying fresh and updated!
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!!! I AM NEW TO TECHNOLOGY. I've been contemplating on purchasing a new Planner on Amazon! But after watching this video, I realize I can do it all on my computer and have it one place! This WAS VERY HELPFUL!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I am so glad it was helpful! Yes you really can and then you have it all with you when you need it no pens or pencils needed!
Super helpful this is the definitely the best to approach to office hrs that I have seen! Cant wait to use it next quarter!
I'm so glad to hear it! It really helped me in uni!
This really helped, thanks!
Thank you so much for making this video🥰, It helps me so much for making my weekly schedule organized. Still studying online😍🥰👍
This was so helpful and just what I needed! Thank you so much. Will make online school and clinic so much easier! thank you thank you thank you!
I'm so glad it helped! Oo with online school I sometimes went as far as including the zoom links IN the calendar boy did that feel good - one click and I was in class. (until the links started changing every week 0_0)
Loved this. So helpful .
thanks sis...your video really helped me a lot ...
I was looking for this kind of video since I started to look for some info about organization in a calendar. Thank you so much for sharing. New subscriber from Ecuador
I'm so glad it was helpful! Thank you for subscribing!
I like the video, good explanation. Thank you!
I've been doing something similar now for a long time. You one of the 1st though to go into details about using multiple calendars. I've done that but the hidden ones we'll that was a game changer. Going now to my calendar to separate a few things into new calendars lol. BTW using a calendar events for everything allows you to put notes in the description box. The notes come in handy for all kinds 9f things in I have a calendar I named Calls for all the calls with companies and such, the description box is where I put notes on the calls in who I talked to, reason for the call, and what the person said or did.
Yes! I found multiple calendars a game changer too that's why I had to share! and I 100% agree use the description box location etc to your advantage to help you stay organised!
Thank you so much for this video
omg I never would have come up with the office hours overlapping and being hidden away like that. so cool! thanks :D
It is so handy! Happy to share the trick :)
Helped me a lot! Thank you!
So glad to hear that!
Omg thank you this is really helpful🥺
Love this video, THANK YOU!!!
I'm so glad!!
This tutorial was so helpful. Thank you so much!!!!!!!
I'm so glad! It was a lot of fun to make and nerd out about organisation.
wow thank you so much for this video!! this was super helpful!!!
I'm so glad it was helpful!
This video was incredibly helpful to get myself even MORE organized with Google Calendar :) Thank you so much for the helpful advice! Request: I'm very new to using Todoist and you mentioned it in this video, it would be amazing to get a tutorial on your use of that application as well! Once again, thank you so much for you videos!
I am so glad it was helpful! Love getting more and more organised. I'm glad you've started ToDoistt and I'm hoping to get that video up ASAP.
I had it all planned but 2020 and online learning really messed with my Day to day habits and structure which is what I usually used it for. The new plan is to set it up for the new year and film that and share it (explaining as I go like in this video) and that way we can all start 2021 with it in place!
I hope you'll still watch it when it comes out!
Not sure if you're still working on setting up your Todoist but I've got the video up now! czcams.com/video/CrIiNDO95UU/video.html It'll be live in a couple days, I hope it helps!
Thank you so much Emma. It was really awesome 👍...though you're kinda fast with the tutorials, it's pretty fast for us newbies!
It helped me a lot! Thank youuu!
So glad it helped! Thank you for commenting
Thank you!
Loved this ❤
Great Video! Thanks Heaps. I am starting Medical School this year and this is very helpful
Amazing! Congrats on starting Medical School - it's an amazing journey lots of ups and downs but you'll get through!
I had almost given up on planning ,due to all the complex videos by other popular channels.
I can't thankyou Enough, Your simple & crisp explanation of the Calendar is the best so far.
Thankyou so much.
That makes me so happy! Glad I could help :)
This is soooo helpful!! Thank you!!!
I'm so glad it was helpful ☺️
Actually useful, watched a couple of these google calendar breakdowns before finding yours. Thank you!
So glad it was useful! ☺️
Very very helpful. Thank you!
I'm so glad it was helpful!
Thank you !!
Thanks a lot, Emma 😀😀
Ace Emma. Many thanks!
Just starting college, I hope this will help me keep myself organized, thanks (:
Im such a Lazy student, this has motivated me!
Just about what I needed.
Thanks Emma for the video. It was very informative.
I'm glad it was helpful!
Emma - Thank you so much for taking the time to complete this step by step! So clear and concise!
Thanks so much for the comment! I'm glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much Emma
You are so welcome! I hope it was helpful :)
Thanks mam its really helpfull 😊
thx! that really helps XD
Thank you so much, life saver
I'm so glad it helped! I'm a bit of an organisational nerd so happy to share my tips and tricks!
Hi Emma, great video. 👌I have a question on meeting notes in google cal, which I believe was added quite recently. I have a few different calendars and in some of them it comes up as an option, but in most of them not. My main one is part of a corporate account, and my colleagues get it, but not me. I have tried to google it but didn't get any hits, suppose since it is rather new and questions were not yet gathered... any insight would be greatly appreciated🙏
Thank you, you're a lifesaver 🥺❤
Aw I'm so glad it helped!
Massive Update I (somehow) just discovered - ToDoist now links with Google Calendar and it is a game changer! ... and I made a video on it! czcams.com/video/96ydrnBRPkY/video.html
Other links:
My video on why I love ToDoIst czcams.com/video/CrIiNDO95UU/video.html
How to sync the two - todoist.com/help/articles/use-google-calendar-with-todoist
And I can confirm the email account your ToDoist is created with does not have to be the same as your google calendar - I am GIDDY with excitement.
Thanks for this! Can you make a video on the extracurriculars and volunteering you do in Med school?
Definitely, it's all a bit on hold right now since we're not on campus but I'll add it to the list - will be more fun if I can talk about it and show it too!
I feel very well-taken care of by this tutorial, Emma B. :)
Like, I think can go organize my life with Google Calendar immediately,
Even though I haven't been one to dive into calendar apps previously.
Also, this video will probably be fun to watch in, say, 2033,
On account of how much changes over time with technology.
How much will Google Calendar change? How much will it be
Able to stay timeless in its quest to keep all things timely?
I'm not sure, but for the time being, I think it's absolutely neat to consider that there's potentially
A CZcamsr with a social [media] calendar containing moments set aside to reply to comments personally. :D
As a commenter, I try to write remarks worth reading, but there's an even greater sense of responsibility
Knowing that someone might have scheduled reading and responding to comments as a priority,
Such that they're doing it at a designated time to ensure that the interactions are of decent quality.
[I know for channels with low interaction it might seem easy,
But I once watched a BrainCraft video about her systematically
Interacting to 75,000 comments just by setting aside time weekly
So it's a concept where Google Calendar might come in real handy.]
Thanks for taking the time to comment. I definitely do think any video is interesting to view years later just to see how things have changed. That's really good that that creator is able to schedule their time to respond, I think it's really nice to try to reply to everyone who comments. Definitely shows the power of scheduling your time - you can accomplish a lot when you set aside the time to do it!
Damn, that was cool. I’ve been piling everything into one calendar and wondering what the blue bar was. Definitely considering the hidden calendar for gym open hours and office hours.
Gym Hours/Classes would be a fantastic use of a hidden calendar! Love it!
@@EmmaB_MD Thanks for the reply!
Just getting into the habit of creating a formal weekly schedule (I'm in a far easier degree), and initially having hiccups sticking to it- What spurred you to start? was it out of necessity? Or a mystical capacity to get excited to complete coursework on your own?
I've always been a hyper diligent planner... My Mom had a colour coded fridge calendar for us as kids... so I think it started there haha 😂 so not a unique talent in anyway just was born into a Type A family and now I find I'm actually MORE stressed if I don't plan things out!
In terms of sticking to course work... Discipline trumps motivation every time. So you have to find a way to be consistent do a little every day and then increase that "little" slowly. Often in uni we get course work that doesn't necessarily spark any interest so we will never be MOTIVATED to do it, but if we are disciplined we will get it done whether we have an urge to or not. That being said still also be disciplined about time for yourself - you'll never be interested in work if you're burnt out and exhausted.
Pretty general advice but I hope it helps!
nice, thanks
This video helped me a lot! Thank you very much.
By the way, you are so cute! 😷
Brilliant tutorial Emma :)
Thank you! I'm very happy it's been helping so much!
Thank you so much for this! I’m starting college in February and I’m having a hard time choosing a calendar. This helped so much! Quick question, do you use a school email or private one?
I'm so glad that the video helps! I use my school video - especially with online learning because some Zoom links would autopopulate in my calendar which was really handy! But a private gmail account would work just as well and you'd keep it even after you graduate!
A big fan of the Google calendar and colour coding :), just popped on to ask you how you're going? What week are you into your studies?
Wow! Sorry I never replied Leesa. I love google calendar - as we can see haha. I'm doing well (on break now so cannot complain!) so technically week 0 hehe. Hope you are doing well!
@@EmmaB_MD No worries Emma. I hope you enjoy the well deserved break and do something nice for yourself. I am well thanks, 1 more exam to go and understand those feels from your last video, but almost there..
Omg thank you so much for this video
I do exactly what you do apart from the having a different calendar for my to do list
I use the google one
I have do much responsibility because I am carer myself and I have to have 5 other people's calendar so I can keep up with all the appointments
Everyone says how to I do it?
Thanks to Google calendar I can
I have learnt a few things from your video though and I wanna thank you so much
To separate my social calendar and my appointments calendar
So thank you so much hun again
Shout out from Melbourne
Definitely subscribing to you
💜😊
Hi Lorraine! Thank you so much for subscribing I hope I can come up with some more creative organising tips for you - I'm a bit of a calendar nerd ;P Sounds like you have a lot of calendars and planning on the go - I'm impressed! I hope my tips have helped :)
@@EmmaB_MD hehe same im a calendar nerd to hehe
I sure do. Thanksg again 😊😊😊
how do you get the time to be displayed on the left vertically down the page? where it says GMT?
Well done!
Thank you!
Thanks for the useful ideas. I recently used Google Calendar from the Apple calendar. Its just easier to access it between different platforms. I don’t find the latest craze of digital planners too appealing when it comes to functionality, although they are attractive design wise. Do u use a tablet as well? The features I think on an App is not full.
Yeah! I was never a huge fan of the apple calendar (mostly because I started using google calendar before I had a macbook) so I've always just deleted the app and downloaded google 😅 I also like how it now can predict from my emails and automatically add meetings etc in.
I do have an iPad that I use mostly like a laptop that's lighter to take to placement. I just use the google cal app there too.
I agree - I've never been FULLY into digital planners. I just don't see how they are as portable from device to device. I did miss out on being able to make things as *pretty* as they could be in a digital planner but then I discovered I you can customise the colours of google calendar ... czcams.com/video/rlwAoU83TO0/video.html
And now all my complaints have been solved!
thanks
*****Permission to curse.****** This is the only fucking video that has actually helped me. after watching dozens of expert google calendar videos by centenaries that have done nothing for me but confuse the shit out of me, this one finally comes along. Thank you Emma, I like more than a friend. FUCK!
My mind is blown. The amount of time I could have saved if I knew this before is UNREAL
Hey Your video is awesome...I just wanna say this...You look like Taylor from Folklore and evermore era.... Have a nice day😊
Wow the highest of compliments! Thank you!
Does events take up my storage?
THANK YOUUUUUU
I hope it helped!
Omg you are soo cute .And your hairs 😍😍😍
this was very helpful for class schedule. What I am trying to do is have my son enter his assignments in his google calendar while he is in class and put them in with a due date. I am suprised that Google has never been able to make a good agenda feature for this. Do you have any tips?
Hey! Yeah there's a lot of different ways to manage it I guess. Personally I put the due dates in as little red events and on my ToDoIst (which is another app - I have a couple videos on it czcams.com/video/CrIiNDO95UU/video.html and czcams.com/video/96ydrnBRPkY/video.html).
But Google Does have Google Tasks - which is usually on the right hand side of google calendar if you're on the desktop site. It allows you to list each assignment as a task and give it a due date, you can even have "sub tasks" so if an assignment has checkpoints to meet each could be a sub task. I haven't used Google Tasks much because I like ToDoIst so much but it is an option!
Hope that helps!
How to sync desktop gcal with phone
Really cool hair 😄
I use it too, very effevtive
Glad google calendar works for you!
In the end when you said dont share your to-do calendar bc it would make look busy all the time, does that mean that you would mark your to-do calendar as free and not busy? Is there another way to have the to-do be busy but not shown to others? Great video by the way!
I just never actually "share it" so others looking to schedule with me shouldn't see it at all - so I only send invites for people to see school/work and maybe life calendars (either in full or just as "busy) my Todo calendar just stays with me so people are still able to schedule meetings even if there is a ToDo Item there.
BUT if you did share it you could have the setting to mark it as "free" and not busy you're absolutely right!
Hope that explanation worked! It's so much easier to show not tell, but hope I'm helping!
I absolutely need this video but I don't know why my google calendar doesn't work like this. I can't create new calendars and it automatically connects to all my gmail emails which I hate. Anyone has any tips?
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Can admin track other people locations and web browsing history?
To my knowledge nope, it's just a student gmail account so we have access to the g-suite. But you can make a gmail account that isn't attached to an institution if you wanted!
Just doing my semester-ly return so I can relearn how to use google calendar for the upcoming semester lol
such a nice soul
Hi. How to find available time in different calendars for repetitive meetings without having to look at day by day in mosaic or agenda mode? It's possible? Thanks a lot
Hmm I've never had to do this - as I don't often have to seek out meetings with other individuals. But just now when I tried I see what you're saying, it seems to me you can choose to view by day or week but not MORE than that so you'd have to flip through.
But you can at least get it into week view in the top right. Hope that kind of helps - not a perfect solution though!
@@EmmaB_MD Thank you very much is that I work coordinating classrooms and also many zoom accounts for teachers. So they schedule many meetings or classes for each of their courses during the semesters and finding space is a difficult task seeing it day by day.
When you turn on notifications from your computer does it automatically do that on your phone as well?
There's a couple layers to notifications.... so within the webpage you can set what you would like to receive notifications for (like which calendars or how long before an event etc) BUT you will still need to allow "push notifications" on your phone through your phones settings!
I've found most of the time the default is to allow notifications from the app on your phone - but always good to double check!
I’ll really appreciate it if you replied this message cause I’m so frustrated with this app. The part where you changed from Test Demo to School (at 4:32), for mine there’s no drop down menu for me to choose the calendar I want. So it’s stuck on the first calendar, like for yours that’s test demo. Please help me, if anyone also has an idea on how to fix this please let me know. Thank you.
When you first make a google calendar it only populates the first calendar (usually with the title of your name - ie. Test Demo) so when you start adding events it will only allow you to add to that calendar. The first step is to add a new calendar (like the School calendar). Starting at 2:33 I believe I start to explain this but I'll try to do so in text here. At 2:33 a pink circle will circle what I'm talking about in the bottom left on the screen. You should see a list of the calendars you have access to. In my video it is "My calendars: Test Demo, Birthdays, Reminders, Task" then a second list "Other calendars". Next to Other Calendars you will see a + sign. Click that and then select Create new calendar. Then you can title it whatever you are looking for (such as School) and it will appear in your drop down after that :). I hope that makes sense!
@@EmmaB_MD it did make sense, thanks alot
@@asantewaa529 Great! I'm glad!
