Windows Calendar is an easy-to-use application that can help you keep track of your daily to-dos. You can create appointments, organize a task list and even share your calendar with others.
To access your calendar in Vista, go to the Start button, and locate Windows Calendar. (Google has a free calendar similar to this if you are not running Vista).
With Windows Calendar you can easily create appointments. After an appointment is on your calendar, you can set up an alert to remind you when the appointment is approaching. You can set Windows Calendar to alert you minutes, hours, or even days ahead of time, depending on how much advance notice you want.
You can also set up recurring appointments. Perhaps you attend a weekly book club meeting, have a standing haircut appointment every six weeks, or pay your mortgage on the same day each month. With Windows Calendar, you can create one appointment and then instruct the calendar to set up a series of similar appointments at the intervals you choose.
You can also create tasks and multiple calendars if you choose. The Calendar can not yet drive you to your appointments but just about all else! Have fun with it!
