About this course

This beginner course rebuilds your calendar from a reactive inbox of invitations into a deliberate weekly system. You will set up focus blocks, themed days, buffers, and meeting-hygiene rules using real features in Google Calendar and Outlook. By the end you run a repeatable weekly plan and coordinate asynchronously across teams and time zones.
