8 Calendar Mistakes to Avoid (for busy people)!  @JeffSu
Uploaded December 2023 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago
As a busy working professional juggling a full-time job and a YouTube channel, I actually DO NOT follow many of the “best practices” productivity creators have been sharing.

In this video, I share 8 crucial mistakes to avoid and offer practical tips for effective time management!

For example, learn why I prefer the Highlight Method from 'Make Time' over complex time blocking; and discover shortcuts to quickly create events in Google Calendar, like using 'cal.new' in the browser and integrating with app launchers like Alfred and Powertoy Run.

🌟 Pro Tips Included: Throughout the video, I sprinkle in pro tips to enhance your Google Calendar experience.
