When you first log on, you only have one calendar. Any appointments you create will be in that calendar and will have that calendar’s color. In the example above, the calendar color is blue.

Step 1 Click on the “Create” link to create a new Calendar. Step 2 Name the new calendar. Step 3 Click the “Create Calendar” button.

A new calendar will appear and google will automatically assign it a color.

Step 1 Click on the disclosure triangle next to the calendar you want to change. Step 2 Click on the color square of the you want for the calendar.

Click and drag a new event just like you would in almost any other calendar. Then Step 1 name the event. Step 2 click the “Calendar” drop down menu and select the calendar in which you want the event to appear.

Each calendar is a different category. You can have multiple categories for your personal and professional life.

You can create as many calendars as you need for all of your categories or until you run out of color choices.

You add new events in exactly the same manner assigning them to the calendar which corresponds to the appropriate category.

Now you can clearly see how how much time you are spending in each area of your life. Note that any white space, space not occupied by categorized appointments is time not focused on a specific area of your life. Can be quite revealing.
