If you have a busy day, week, month or lifetime coming up then it’s going to help to plan for it, right down to the minutes in the day. By using your Google Calendar to focus on one day at a time, you can create an incredibly detailed and concise agenda (appointment diary) for yourself, with event details, participants, times and locations. You can also integrate Google Tasks with your daily agenda, meaning that you can set up a primary task which will feature in your agenda and within that task you can add as many secondary tasks as you like, which will be displayed in the Google Tasks window next to your calendar. Once you have compiled your agenda for the day, week or month, you can view it, print it or have it emailed to you, as well as set up reminders for calendar events to be sent to you minutes, hours or days ahead of the event. You can also access your agenda from any device that allows you to log into Chrome. Once you start using Google Calendar to manage your days, you will start to see how this service intertwines with other great Google web apps, so run through our steps to get your own daily agenda started
