Relieving stress by keeping all information in one place, easily reachable whenever.

Introducing one of our staff members' shared calendar real-life use with his wife. The husband and wife have created original ways of using TimeTree, posting shared memos like "Grocery List" and "Might be relevant for us".

"We use it not only for our schedule but also note down any events that could be relevant beforehand."

What kind of appointments do you have in your shared calendar?

My appointments, my husband's appointments, shared events, information that may concern us, and grocery lists. Aside from directly creating events, we also save information that may concern us. For example, when the cake shop we frequent is closed for holidays or when there will be a festival nearby and such.

"By saving the grocery list as an event, I make use of the memo notification function."

Are there any unique ways you make use of TimeTree?

I would say saving grocery lists as events is one way. The event title is set as "Grocery List", I use the memo section as a checklist for items we must buy. It's useful as information isn't lost, and at times when I wonder "What was I supposed to buy?" I can check that immediately.

"In any case, if I first write it down to TimeTree I don't have to worry"

Please tell us again what the merits of sharing schedules using TimeTree are.

I think being able to convey things to the other person on my own terms regarding my routine, without having to personally contact them is good. Before using TimeTree, "oh I have to tell them the next time we meet" but eventually forgetting happened too frequently. In contrast, if I sent a message on the spot to tell them, afterward I would end up being unable to find that specific message. Using TimeTree, making notes suits my routine, also I don't have to worry info will be lost so it's great! It makes me think "In any case, if I first write it down to TimeTree I don't have to worry."

Thank you very much for the informative interview!
