Use your Outlook calendar to better organize the use of your time and to remember events important to you.

Time is valuable. It is something most of us wish we had more of. If you can better organize yourself, it feels like you are actually adding more time to your day! Your Outlook calendar can help with this. Add events, such as school events, work, or family events to your calendar. You can when you are free and schedule things, such as time for homework, right into your calendar. This will help you better plan to have assignments completed on time.

To add something to your calendar:

Select the calendar icon to access your calendar within Outlook.
There are two options to create a new event on your calendar:
1. Select the New Event button in the upper-left.
2. Navigate to the date on the calendar where the event will live and double-click on the time the event starts.
