Most people who can hire EA’s or personal assistants struggle with the decision - especially if you’ve never had one before, it can feel like a luxury more than a necessity. That is, until you take the plunge, and see how much more you can get done with the right assistant on your team!
But what if you’re not in a position to hire someone? Well, it turns out you don’t have to miss out on the productivity boost - you just need to learn the lesser-known features of your digital calendar, and make the tool work for you, rather than against you.
Thankfully, Patrick Lightbody knows a thing or two about calendars. After running not one but two startups, Patrick developed a calendaring system to make sure nothing fell through the cracks - and he was especially committed to carving out more time for his health, his wellbeing, and his family.
And now he’s sharing his system with you, through Reclaim, software that turns your calendar into a virtual assistant.
Patrick shares how you can use Reclaim to up your calendar game, and he shares which existing Google Calendar features can help you get started.
Connect with Patrick in the support chat at Reclaim.ai
