![The Apple Calendar Features You Arent Using (But Should)
Your calendar is likely the most boring tool in your toolbox, but it is also the most powerful because it never lies to you about how much time you actually have.
In this video, I explain why Iโve stuck with Apple Calendar for over 25 yearsโdespite the popularity of Google Calendar and Outlookโand how I use it to manage my content, business, and personal life without burning out.
I cover everything from the hidden Option-Drag feature that makes planning a breeze to the Calendar First rule that will save your daily to-do list.
