Google Calendar

Google calendar is a time management tool we use to dedicate dates and times to callbacks.   If you want to stay organized with your contacts, you have to know when you are or are not available when scheduling callbacks.  
Calendar Settings
In the top right corner of your calendar next to the ("more") button, you will find a ("gear") with a dropdown menu.  

In that drop down menu click on ("settings").

Under ("general") settings you should change your default for event duration from 60 minutes to 30 minutes.  Next, change the start of the week from Sunday to Monday.  Then ("save").
Calendar Labs
In the same gear and dropdown menu, select ("labs").  In this menu you want to enable the following features & options.
  1. who's my one-on-one with?
  2. year view
  3. background image
  4. jump to date
  5. next meeting
After enabling these features hit the ("save") button at the bottom of the page.
From the apps grid, click on calendar and then go to ("month") view.

From this view you can click on any day of the month you like to create an event in your calendar.

A box appears asking you to describe the event you are about to create.  Select event to commit a time and date to an activity.
You will notice two key widgets on the right side of the calendar.  The ("next meeting") and ("jump to date").  You will use these two widgets often to help you stay organized.
