COLOR MY WORLD
A meeting here, appointments there and several presentations spread all over. A typical calendar can look like a sea of commitments, no one different from another. Make it easy to tell them apart by using color-coding for key calendar entries.
•
Select specific colors to signify repeat activities in your calendar. For example, blue for staff meetings, pink for projects and green for presentations. Make a key using an index card and keep it close to your PC or planner.
•
When posting a commitment or deadline, color-code entries according to your key. For an electronic entry, use the label function to color block. For a paper calendar, use highlighters kept handy with your planner.
