As a professional journalist and content writer, I understand the importance of staying organized and on top of deadlines. One tool that has been incredibly helpful for me and my team is a shared Google Calendar. In this blog post, I will guide you through the process of setting up a shared Google Calendar so you can boost productivity and collaboration within your team.
Step 1: Create a Google Account

Step 2: Access Google Calendar
After creating your Google account, navigate to https://www.google.com/calendar to access Google Calendar. Sign in with your Google account credentials, and you will be taken to the main calendar interface.
Step 3: Create a New Calendar
Once you are in Google Calendar, click on the “Add calendar” button on the left-hand side menu. Select “Create new calendar” and enter a name for your new calendar. You can also add a description, time zone, and other details for your calendar. Click “Create calendar” to save your new calendar.
Step 4: Share Your Calendar
Now that you have created a new calendar, it’s time to share it with your team members. To do this, click on the three dots next to your calendar’s name and select “Settings and sharing”. In the “Share with specific people” section, enter the email addresses of the team members you want to share the calendar with. You can choose their access level (make changes and manage sharing) and add a message if needed. Click “Send” to share your calendar with your team.
