001: Setting up a shared family calendar

Описание: This episode introduces the first of several foundations to a great life admin system: a shared family calendar.


Mia and Dinah discuss how they previously both used multiple calendars and that there was no single point of truth of what was happening. They describe how they went about setting up a shared family calendar available on all their devices, Mia using Apple iOS and Outlook and Dinah using Google Calendar. They include all family activities and recurring household tasks in this one calendar and share it with their partners, creating a single view of all family events.


The benefits of a shared calendar include:


• creating a single point of truth of what's happening when

• sharing the responsibility of all family activities without separate complicated instructions for your partner or children

• allowing both adults in the household to easily arrange their own social life and events.
