How do business owners manage family and work calendars? A (busy) Scalepath member recently asked for advice on managing their work and family calendars. Here are some of the best tips from our community: Shared family Google calendar - informative, and tracks all family events. It’s non-blocking for my primary work calendar. This uses my personal Gmail, not my work email I then share this calendar with my primary work calendar Shared with spouse and children (once they have cell phones) If a shared event on my family calendar should be a blocking event on my work calendar, I add my work email as an invitee to the shared event. By doing it this way, if the shared event moves/cancels, so does the blocking copy on my work calendar. You can go the other way too - if the family needs to be aware of an event on my work calendar, I will add the shared calendar as an invitee on my work calendar. This example uses Google, but it follows the same logic across Outlook. What do you think about this process?

RAFE'S STRATEGIC ZOOM OFFICE HOURS Friday, May 10th from 2pm - 4pm Eastern Free Registration: https://is.gd/dontlookzoom Over the past two decades I’ve given dozens of talks and workshops on how to become a better poker player. Many times it was for charity tournaments where the bulk of the players were novices. Often the least experienced players ended up beating the most experienced. Sometimes I would hear tales from those I’ve coached winning or placing well in the very next tournament they played. This is because I taught them the deep fundamental principles of game theory, disguised as “simple tips, tricks and hacks”. I often start with this advice: Don’t look at your cards! Because poker is not really about the cards. It’s about making strategic decisions and taking effective actions, under conditions of inherent uncertainty, with something meaningful to you at stake. Which means that the same applied game theory that works for poker also works in business, and other aspects of life… even (as I’ve found) parenting! One friend recently shared with me that they’d been successfully applying the principle of Selective Aggression in their role as a City Council member. If you’d like to experience what this is like, please join me for my next Zoom Office Hours: RAFE'S STRATEGIC ZOOM OFFICE HOURS Friday, May 10th from 2pm - 4pm Eastern Free Registration: https://is.gd/dontlookzoom There will be two 50 minute sessions where I will help someone strategically overcome a challenge or address an opportunity. If you’d like to take one of those slots, DM me after registering. Each session will be “in the round”, in case you simply wish to observe or support the folks being coached. We will NOT record the sessions and everyone agrees to full confidentiality. Here are some examples of why you might want to join us: —> You’re struggling to fund your company —> You need to pivot your business model —> You’re evaluating an investment opportunity (or investment thesis) —> You’re making a huge strategic (or life) decision —> You have financial or legal strategy questions —> You need help thinking of creative solutions —> You’re concerned about disruption from — and want to capture opportunities from — AI, crypto/blockchain, metaverse, remote workforce, etc. —> You want to understand societal trends and see around corners —> The situation is complex, highly uncertain or overwhelming —> The stakes seem high RAFE'S STRATEGIC ZOOM OFFICE HOURS Friday, May 10th from 2pm - 4pm Eastern Free Registration: https://is.gd/dontlookzoom

Organization and planning are things we all strive to do well and sometimes it still looks chaotic on your computer, top of your desk, or in your office. Here are 3 tips on how to organize even when it seems chaotic: 🕰 Take time on your weekend (maybe an hour) and plan the week. What projects do you have to focus on? What priorities do you have? How much time will things take? Also take this time to file anything you need to, whether paperwork or on your computer. ✍ Each night plan for the next day. Clean up your area and leave your office in a way that will be enjoyable to enter the next morning when you are fresh and ready for a new day. 🗓 Time block on your calendar. Take those estimates on project times and insert them into your calendar for the week so that you can clearly see the time you have available for networking, calls, and new projects vs. what you already have on your plate. These are simple tips you can easily add into your week to help you start the year feeling good about your organization and not overwhelmed. #businessorganization #planningforsuccess #timesaver

How a virtual assistant turns chaos into calm. Do you feel like your inbox, digital presence and calendar are a bit messy? That's where a Virtual Assistant (VA) steps in, turning chaos into calm and confusion into clarity. An organised workspace is more than just a tidy desk. It's the foundation of clear thinking and efficiency. Imagine opening your laptop to find a neatly arranged digital space, where every file is just a click away, and your inbox is more zen garden than jungle. Now, let's talk calendars. A well-managed calendar is like having a personal roadmap for your day. It’s not just about squeezing in every meeting; it’s about creating a flow that works for you. This is where a VA becomes your time-keeping wizard, aligning your schedule with your priorities, ensuring you're not just busy, but productive. And when it comes to social media management, think of a VA as your online maestro who can transform your digital presence. P.S. DM me if you're ready to turn your professional life from a cluttered canvas into a masterpiece of organisation. Let's declutter, organise, and streamline your way to success. #VirtualAssistance

I know that a lot of people use Calendly to book meetings, so I thought I'd give it a try. This is the most frustrating experience I've had in awhile, so if anyone out there can tell me what I'm doing wrong, it would be great to get this sorted before my calendar blows up for DICE. 1. I've set the time zone display to be locked as Pacific, but when someone on the west coast looks at the invite, it shows the time zone as Eastern Time. -The time slots for booking line up with the hours I set for Pacific time, so is this just some wonky display issue? 2. Calendly isn't tracking the meetings that are already booked and removing them as options from the booking page. I don't know if this is somehow related to the first issue, but that makes using this to secure appointment times as basically useless. 3. Calendly doesn't seem to be syncing with my Google calendar even though I've added the account. So not only isn't it tracking and removing the invites it sends out, it isn't syncing to the meetinsg that already appear (or are added) in my Google calendar. Any help is appreciated. I officially now have too many ways to commuicate and digitally manage my life.
