Manage your schedule more effectively using Calendar and Reminders!In the days before personal computers and mobile devices, we had to rely on paper calendars and to-do lists to help us organize our time and activities. Now, we have powerful tools, like Apple's Calendar and Reminders, that are much more responsive to our needs. Put an event on your schedule, invite others to join, or set yourself an alarm (or more than one). Or, keep a list of to-do items, add to it and view it on all your Apple devices, and share your list with family or friends.In this book, veteran Mac journalist and editor Scholle McFarland will guide you through getting to know these incredibly helpful apps, including lesser-known (but handy) features. For example, did you know that in Calendar you can set an alert for when you need to leave for an event, based on the travel time calculated using the location you entered for the event? Or that Reminders can prompt you to do something not only at a certain time, but also once you've reached a specific destination, like the grocery store?If you've never taken the opportunity to explore Calendar and Reminders, this book will show you how to make them an important part of your daily routine. If you've already been using Calendar and Reminders, you'll learn how to use them more effectively, troubleshoot common problems, and delve deeper into their capabilities.Whip your schedule into shape and tame your to-do lists with Take Control of Calendar and Reminders!Let Scholle walk you through how to get the best out of Calendar and Reminders, including how to:Customize Calendar to your liking, from setting time zones, to color coding specific calendarsCreate events, making them repeat at regular intervals or on certain datesSet up notifications and alerts, so you never miss an eventInvite people to events, or share your calendar with themCreate, manage, and share lists in RemindersSet alarms in Reminders at a certain time or a certain placeUse Siri to save time when creating events or remindersEasily check events and reminders on your Mac, iPhone, or Apple WatchTroubleshoot common problems in Calendar and RemindersShare calendars and reminders using iCloud Family Sharing
