Are you looking for some scheduling tips<\/a> to help you better manage your calendar? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you need help streamlining events and engagements in your schedule? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may not have thought about it before, but there is skill involved when it comes to scheduling meetings and appointments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You must be thoughtful about which event you place in your calendar and where. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And what’s the benefit of having a carefully created calendar?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll save yourself time, energy, and money! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this post, you’ll find six smart tips to help you schedule appointments<\/a> and meetings into your calendar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schedule break time between meetings and appointments.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Back-to-back meetings<\/a> can be downright exhausting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what’s the solution? Give yourself a break! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do your best to schedule a five to fifteen minute break<\/a> between meetings when you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can use this time to use the restroom, make a photocopy, or review some documents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other ideas include following up with an order, make a quick phone call, or walk to the conference room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s more, having taken a much-needed break, you\u2019ll feel refreshed and ready to tackle your next meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Send meeting invites.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Streamline the scheduling process by sending out meeting invites via email in programs such as Microsoft Outlook or Google Calendar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With just a few clicks, you can invite attendees, set a date, time, location, and provide general meeting notes or information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attendees can either accept or decline meetings. Once someone has accepted a meeting, it will appear in their calendar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Should you have to update meeting information, you can easily resend updated meeting information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time block yourself.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Time blocking is a time management method<\/a> in which you set aside a specific amount of time to complete a certain task. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s quite easy to do. Simply identify a task you\u2019d like to complete, and schedule time to complete the task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s an example of this in action. If you needed to finish writing an article and do some filing at work, you could set aside an hour to write the article, followed by an hour of filing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set recurring events in your calendar.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do you have a weekly or monthly meeting<\/a> at work or at school? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Save yourself some time by adding recurring events into your digital or online calendar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This way, you won\u2019t have to re-enter items into your schedule, or worry about accidental double-bookings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Should a meeting be cancelled<\/a>, or rescheduled, you can just as easily delete, or adjust the meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set specific times for meetings.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Be specific when it comes to arranging meeting<\/a> times and length. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sweeping generalizations aren\u2019t very helpful when you\u2019re trying to match up schedules!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, instead of saying, \u201cOh, let\u2019s meet for a couple of minutes in the afternoon,\u201d you\u2019d want to say something like, \u201cLet\u2019s meet from 2 P.M. to 2:30 P.M.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes it clear to both you, and any other attendees, as to when the meeting will take place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schedule personal time for yourself.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Feel like you have no time for yourself during the week? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set aside some personal time in your calendar. This gives you the space you need to relax, decompress, and just escape from the world for a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go ahead and block out a couple of hours for yourself during the weekday and weekend.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It doesn\u2019t matter what you do during this time, you could meditate, soak in the bathtub, catch up on your favorite podcasts, build a bird house, or bake a cake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
