Weaned from paper diaries

Posted by otterman on 4 November 2009

Saw these NUS diaries at the Raffles Museum the other day and realised I’m finally weaned from these, thanks to Google Calendar.

GCal is my homepage to keep me alert about viewing and making appointments. Each appointment is also SMS’ed to my handphone (its free) and includes the location and notes. This is particularly helpful when stumbling about some strange venue and an SMS arrives with the proper address and relevant handphone numbers!

I share my calendar with my honours students so they are able to schedule meetings and field trips with me. Looks like I am scheduled for two this week, in between marking, argh! Maybe paper was better after all.
