Maximize your Online Calendar Use

We can manage the battle of too-many-things-to-do, by becoming more efficient at using our calendars. Many of us have moved beyond the paper calendars and now have our alerts, birthdays and more scheduled in an online calendar. LifeHacker has put together a list of 10 Tricks so we can optimize our online calendars with several helpfull ad-ons. The best part: most of these are free!

The Web 2.0 social-site explosion has created a wealth of scheduling services, but we’ve always liked the simplicity of tools like Doodle, where you just ask folks via email what times work for them, and the site returns the most compatible matches. Need more than just a time slot? fasterPlan creates web-based, customizable billboards, so you can ask which park works best for a reunion, who’s a vegetarian, and so on. If nothing else, your over-burdened inbox will thank you.
