Summer is synonymous with the beach, terraces, traveling and, above all, resting and disconnecting from the daily routine of work and studies. It is also a time of year that some people use to try to improve their productivity at work or studies and thus reduce the number of hours they spend in front of the computer. The best way to do it is by using applications to manage day-to-day tasks , both at work, in studies and in private life.
With these applications, we can plan in advance what we should focus our attention on, whether it is finishing a project, presenting a paper, scheduling a weekend outing, helping our children before an exam, finding time to go to the gym and get back in shape, go running, play with friends, among other things. One aspect that we must take into account, in order to disconnect the rest days, is to create different calendars for work, studies and family life.
Outlook-calendar
The Outlook calendar, available through the Mail application , allows us to schedule our daily, weekly, monthly and yearly tasks directly from our PC. In addition, by using the calendar of our Microsoft account, we can consult and modify the annotations from any other mobile device, since the changes will be automatically synchronized. The design isn’t the best or the most attractive, but it’s a perfect solution if you don’t want to use a calendar via the web or install third-party applications.
google-calendar
If we focus all our activity through a Google account, the best solution is to opt for the Google calendar. Although it does not have an application for Windows , we can organize our agenda through its website, which we can access through the following link. Just as we can access the Outlook calendar from mobile devices, we can also view and edit calendar appointments from any mobile device. We can also access the calendar through Chrome through an extension.
One Calendar
If the aesthetics offered by both the native Windows application, Mail and the web version, is not a solution, we can give the One Calendar application a chance, an application with a very simple and visual user interface (it allows the use of different topics) that allows us to quickly know all the appointments that we have in our agenda. In addition, it includes different types of view to know quickly, how busy we are for the week or the month. It is compatible with Google and Outlook calendars as well as Exchange, iCloud, Synology and others. We can download the application for free through the following link, but if we want to get the most out of it, it will be necessary to checkout.
Blue Mail-Email & Calendar
Another interesting option that we have at our disposal to manage our day-to-day schedule is found in the Blue Mail – Email & Calendar application. This application offers us the same functions as the Windows Mail application, however, its aesthetics and functionality are far superior to those offered by Microsoft. This application is compatible with Google, Outlook, iCloud, Exchange, Yahoo calendars among others. Blue Mail is a completely free application that is also available for iOS and Android mobile devices, so if we like that solution, we can transfer it to our smartphone.
