5 Calendar and Contacts hints
Ensure you’re always on time and that you never forget a face with the Mac’s built-in personal organizers
1
View the sidebar
Click the Calendars button to open the Calendar List sidebar. Use the checkboxes to show or hide events by calendar. There’s a smaller calendar to help with looking up dates; drag up on the line above it for more.
2
Fine-tune Calendar
In Calendar’s General preferences, weekends can be omitted from Week view by setting “Days per week” to 5. “Scroll in week view by” sets the arrows around the Today button to advance by a week or a day.
3
fast detail entry
Drag over the calendar to set an event’s duration over hours or days, then enter details. Or, more quickly, click the + button and use plain English, such as “Lunch with Tatyana on Friday from 12 to 2.”
4
Time to leave
Double-click an event to edit it, click the time and date row, and set a “Time to Leave” alert to be notified based on your and the event’s locations, live transit conditions, and View > Directions in the Maps app.
