367. Artful Agenda vs Google Calendar With Katy Allen
If you love paper planners but your actual life has to be digital, you have probably felt stuck between two bad options. Go digital and lose everything you love about paper, or stay on paper and miss half of what your family adds to the shared calendar.
I have been recommending one tool for this for years, and today I got the founder on the show.
My guest is Katy Allen, the creator and owner of Artful Agenda, the only digital calendar software I give The Pink Bee stamp of approval to. Katy built it after she had to quit paper planners entirely, because her husband's tour schedule and her kids' schedules lived in Google Calendar and she was not about to do double entry. So she built the paper planner experience she missed, stickers and pretty layouts and all, on top of software that actually syncs.
In This Episode, I'll Cover:
- The difference between a digital planner and actual calendar software, and why that distinction changes everything about what you can do with it.
- The one feature Artful Agenda has that Google Calendar, iCal, and Outlook all get wrong
- What to do about the shared calendars you can't control, like the school or PTO calendar dumping every meeting onto your view.
- How to pull work, personal, and the kids' stuff out of three different calendar systems and see it in one place without picking a side.
