I personally like google calendar because it is easy to use. But the main factor is I log in to my google account everyday. So, I can actually manage almost everything with single log in!

I love Highrise and Google Calendar. Both are really helpful for me. Google Calendar keeps me on time and since I can share calendars and even display events to my website, it’s useful for friends and family too. Google Cal also allows you to have multiple calendars that you can color code and see from one account. This is a great way to keep track of projects, time lines, and household schedules. Great article post…
