1.Secure your hobby time with "goal"
Have you ever thought you don't have time to start a new hobby, such as reading, bicycles, or knitting?
Google Calendar has a nice function of "goal" that finds time for such hobbies and small schedules.
What you need to do is choose a "goal", how often, how often, how often, when you want to do it in the afternoon or evening)?Just let the Google calendar inform you.
If you enter your hope, the Google Calendar will automatically put your time for your hobby.You can also set notifications to remind you when it is time.
As time goes on, Google Calendar will start to grasp the user's habits and schedules, and even if you forget your hobby time for 1-2 hours, you will ultimately adjust it.In addition, it is smart, so it will not be covered with other events.
The creation of "goal" is supported only in the mobile version, but after setting it will be displayed in the web version.
Tap the " +" icon at the bottom right of the app and tap "Goal".After that, let's proceed according to the explanation on the screen.

If you often host a meeting and play the same settings every time, you will end as soon as you change the default time and authority settings with Google Calendar.
Open the Google Calendar, click the gear icon on the upper right to open the settings.Alternatively, press the shortcut key "S" on the keyboard to open the settings (the shortcut keys are described later).
Select "Planned settings" under "General" in the left panel.This time, in the setting of the right panel, we will change the default meeting time, the authority of the participants (the invitation of other users and the schedule change), and decide whether to automatically add the invitation to the calendar.
Also, if you use the function of "speeding up the meeting", the 30 -minute meeting can be set to be automatically terminated 5 minutes before and one hour of meeting 10 minutes before.It is a wonderful function that allows you to have super efficient meetings.
3.Display the secondarytime zone
If you live in the United States, you may be bothered by the time zone.If you live on the east coast and your friends and colleagues are on the west coast, it is surprisingly difficult to grasp the time.

To enable this feature, open the Google Calendar and go to the "Settings> Time Zone".Select "Display the Secondary Time Zone" and select the secondarytime zone from the form below.

Another useful function for those who work with people in different time zones is the display function of the Google Calendar global clock.
If you choose the city you need, the Google Calendar will display the time of the city on the home screen.
