Optimize Your Calendar by Color Coding 🟢 🔴

A calendar is a great tool that most of us already use. Oftentimes, we use it to schedule things in the future, but rarely does it keep us accountable to the things that didn't get done.

Accountability is one of the reasons why I color code the events in my calendar. When an event is completed, I mark it green. This way, those that aren't marked green will stand out when I review the previous week during my weekly review.

In addition to accountability, color coding helps me quickly visualize what my day looks like, the type of meetings that I have, or if I need to be physically present somewhere.

Over time, I'm sure you will continue to customize the colors in your calendar in your own unique way.
