(2 mins)

Another week goes by…

Another week where you wonder what you did with all the time…

There is one simple solution.

?? COLOUR IT UP.

  1. Colour each meeting.
  2. Timebox your deep- and admin work.
  3. Review whenever you want to.

BONUS: even see who you spent the most time with!

How to quickly colour-code your meetings?

  1. Right-click any meeting.
  2. “+” add a Label.

Done.

Keep using the same colour for the same type of meeting - my example below:

  • Dark Blue = Sports (I see how I start my day)
  • Grey = Deepwork, etc

How to Review

When you start colour-coding your calendar suddenly gives you all of the insights!

  1. Where did you spend your time?
  2. Who did you spend it with?

On the left side of your calendar, click “More Insights”:

Still use the colour coding since PuddlePod, such a useful little hack. I don't seem to have the text labels option though (checking in both Gmail and Workspace accounts)
