Get Your Schedule Together
with Online Calendars

Was Pericles talking about online calendars when he said that "time is the wisest counsellor of all?"

He may not have had electronic calendars in mind, but the wisdom still stands today.

Website calendars and time management tools are used to keep our life in some sort of manageable order.

More often than not these tools are accessed online which means you can log in anywhere you have an internet connection.

And from there it's an easy matter to check schedules, arrange appointments, sync up with friends and converse.

Finding An Online Calendar

This page explores the different digital calendars available, so read on to find your favorite use-ability tool.

First up is the Google calendar - a reliable calendar interface that's easy to use and supported by the current crop of Google family products.

I do nearly everything on my Apple Macbook Pro!

There's also the Yahoo calendar which lets you allow friends to edit and leave personal notes, and integrates with other Yahoo web services such as the mail function, cell phones or palm pilots.

You'll have to log in to Yahoo with a user name before you can use their online calendar. (While there, check out the MSN calendar too).

Perfect Life Management Tools

Another is iScrybe (www.iScrybe.com) which describes itself as a "groundbreaking online organizer that caters to today's lifestyle in a cohesive and intuitive way."

One person said:

"What I love the most is the way Scrybe lets you browse the Internet and create thought pages, a clip book of images, text and links."

Any online organizer that can offer an ease of gathering ideas (thoughtstreams), taking notes while surfing the Internet and at the same time communicating to everyone you know is going to become popular quickly!
