1 articles · Updated · ZDNet · Jul 24

Summary

  • ZDNET outlined four lesser-known Google Calendar features it says can streamline weekly planning beyond basic event reminders.
  • Google Calendar can attach Drive files to events and create appointment schedules, letting users keep tickets or reports handy and avoid back-and-forth emails over meeting times.
  • Desktop users can also enable keyboard shortcuts—such as Ctrl+C for a new event and Ctrl+W for week view—and use cal.new to jump straight to event creation.
  • A daily agenda email rounds out the list, sending each morning’s schedule automatically as Google Calendar pushes productivity features beyond simple event tracking.
