Why integrate your calendars?

Although this may seem like a niche problem, many of us are working with many different calendars without even realizing it, your work life may be planned out on Google Calendar and your personal life on IOS Calendar. Consolidating all of this important information onto one clean interface of your choosing is a great way to start getting on top of things and ensuring you never miss a date.

Here are some additional reasons to integrate your calendars:

1. Avoid double-booking

By syncing calendars, you can prevent scheduling conflicts between personal and work events, ensuring you never commit to two things at once. If you work on separate calendars, chances are, you won't notice that there are two events planned for one time frame. On a single calendar view, double booking is obvious.

2. Stay organized

Having all your events in one place means you can easily see your availability. You can shift events around without having to click back and forth and rest easy knowing everything you need is accounted for in one place.

3. Automate updates

With automation tools like IFTTT, any new event added to one calendar can be copied to another instantly. You can input an event on one calendar platform, like iOS Calendar, and the same event will appear at the right time on another app, like Google Calendar.
