Đang tạo bài học...
1
I use Google Calendar every single day of 2025
2
and I don't think I would have hit any of my goals without it.
3
What most people don't realize is that Google Calendar can actually be super aesthetic and fully customized to fit your life, not just for work meetings.
4
I've been getting so many questions on how I get my calendar so aesthetic, how I use Google Calendar, planning systems, and today I'm gonna show you exactly,
5
step-by-step, how I use it and how I make it look so Pinterest-worthy.
6
If you're an aspiring content creator or current content creator, this video is also going to give you a little bit of an insight on how I plan out my content.
7
That is going to be a portion of this video as well.
8
And I'm also going to do a real plan with me session so you can really see how I use it.
9
I just thought that would be so cozy and fun.
10
Even if you aren't a Google Calendar user, we can plan together.
11
Grab a cozy drink, get your notes ready, and let's get into it.
12
Is this distracting?
13
My cat has joined the chat.
14
Here's my email, and here's how you would find your Google Calendar
15
and you click on this grid icon that's next to your profile icon
16
and you have all of the Google apps essentially and then it just opens up to your calendar.
17
Your phone, you can download the Google Calendar app in the app store so it has its own app.
18
You don't have to go to the Gmail app and do it that way.
19
Here is my monthly view of December.
20
December is a completely closed out month
21
so I thought I would show you guys kind of what it looks like from a month glance.
22
This is kind of stressing me out.
23
I actually hardly ever use the month view.
24
I think the only time I use a month view is just to see dates.
25
Day view, this is kind of what that looks like.
26
I also hardly ever use the day view just
27
because I need to be able to look a few days in advance as well.
28
I'm not someone that just lives in the present and so that's why I always use the week view.
29
This is typically what I'm looking at all the time pretty much and this is exactly how I plan as well.
30
So I'm also going to go into more of a tour of my calendar.
31
Over here on the left this is also important.
32
Also you can see the month view here as well which is so so nice.
33
You don't have to always go here to see the month.
34
It's always going to be here.
35
I never use this button either because you can just tap into the day and do essentially the same things here.
36
All of my calendars.
37
Think of calendars as categories and so here are all of my categories
38
that I use for my life just for extra context.
39
For anyone that doesn't know, I do social media for a living.
40
So content creation, brand deals, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok.
41
I'm also a small business owner.
42
I have a Palmer Clay shop.
43
So short form content.
44
I like to separate my short form content with my YouTube content just
45
because those are two completely different sectors of my job.
46
And then shop, that's for my small business.
47
And then admin, which I honestly don't really use that much anymore, but this is essentially just when I have heads down time and I'm doing not necessarily editing,
48
but I'm doing emails.
49
Collabs, I like to separate my brand deals from my content creation
50
because that's also its own sector and I tend to have a lot of tasks for.
51
While a lot of these are essentially to-dos.
52
To-dos in my mind are personal to-dos.
53
Like they're not related to my job.
54
They're related to personal life.
55
And then I have outings.
56
This is a big one as well.
57
I love having this its own separate like bright color
58
because it is important that I know
59
that okay I'm not going to be home and
60
that those periods of times or that travel plans that we out of town.
61
Personal I also you don't really use.
62
And then reminders.
63
This is a big one.
64
This one's pretty obvious why it's this like pink red color.
65
I mean, hello, it's like a big deal.
66
Try not to abuse this feature too much.
67
I try to really keep this for like, this is really important at this specific time.
68
Don't miss it.
69
And the last one is editing.
70
I also realized I stopped using this.
71
They're on my calendar.
72
So that's like a tour of what my life essentially looks like and the color coding system.
73
We are at a blank calendar.
74
If you've never used Google Calendar before, this is what you're going to see.
75
Basically, I thought it would be really helpful to kind of go through the features of Google Calendar, but kind of as I use them.
76
Now let's get into actually planning.
77
Google Calendar doesn't let you delete some of these for some reason.
78
I don't know why, but they just kind of are there
79
and I just leave them unchecked so they are not visible on my calendar.
80
This one though, you're allowed to at least rename.
81
I would write down all of your areas of your life on how you would plan
82
and categorize everything and then once you have
83
that written down then come back to Google Calendar and now you can make all of your categories.
84
So what I do is I put an emoji
85
and Google Calendar kind of alphabetically organizes it but that's not exactly how I wanted it to be displayed.
86
So I put numbers that way it stays chronologically organized so I'll just put one and then I'll put an emoji.
87
I literally just go to Apple emojis copy paste
88
and then this first link right here
89
and it has all of the Apple emojis and
90
if you type in a keyword like cloud it'll come up
91
and then you click on it copy and it's safe to use that link and then paste it and there you go.
92
You have your Apple emoji there.
93
That's all I do and then this plus button you add calendars
94
and then create new calendar and then you go ahead and do
95
that for all of your tasks once you have all of
96
your tasks it should look something like this you just obviously won't have these colors
97
so we're going to do that together
98
so you open up your Pinterest what mine looks like
99
and try try not to get distracted
100
and I type in google calendar color scheme
101
and then you should see a lot of these pins come up
102
that have these like codes underneath it those are the ones you want
103
so this is the one that actually came up on my pinterest feed one day
104
and i saved it you're a macho girly there's literally matcha themes
105
so i would find probably multiple this one's even really cute
106
too this is my favorite step by far a blue calendar so
107
and it's completely free you know you can completely copy these
108
codes these codes are not owned by these people fear not
109
oh my god ocean milk for my coastal granddaughter girlies there's
110
blue aesthetics i don't know why my pinterest is being weird right now astel blue
111
that is so cute guys there's
112
so many color palettes out there for whatever your aesthetic is
113
remember i was talking about those codes earlier now is where we're going to use these codes
114
so go back to your calendar and go to your first calendar
115
and do you see how all these colors appear see we're gonna add a new custom color
116
and we are going to put that code right here 4998 you want
117
that hashtag don't forget at that hashtag and then save.
118
So make sure that calendar is checked on.
119
If it's not checked on, you just won't see it.
120
And now when you add a task, it'll be that color that you add.
121
So I would go ahead and do that for all of your calendars.
122
Remember, if you write on the colors, you can just find more pins, find some that are close to that current palette that you're looking for, or honestly, you have free will, you don't have to listen to me.
123
Do whatever you want there, because I know there are not enough codes in one pin usually for the amount of to-dos
124
and responsibilities we have in life.
125
So go ahead, find all your colors and make that palette aesthetic.
126
I also have another tool I want to share with you guys if you don't want to do the Pinterest route, colores.co.
127
This is a website where completely free to use, you basically just, you can generate your own color palettes
128
and they come with that handy dandy code that we need
129
so it's really fun even though this is actually really cute you hit the space bar
130
and then it'll generate new color palettes for you
131
if you're like oh my god wait i like this green color you toggle lock the colors
132
that you like continue hitting that space bar
133
and it'll give you more colors toggle lock until you find another color you like
134
and so on and so forth copy
135
that code in to what we had just done for Google Calendar with that hashtag and then you're good.
136
So now that you have all of your color, guys, you've like literally done all the work.
137
Your calendar is officially set up now and you can start planning.
138
Once you start living your life and start using it, after a few weeks you'll get a sense of like what categories are important to you.
139
You can change your categories because you're really going to learn what makes sense for you.
140
It's not going to be perfect from the get-go.
141
Make sure all of your calendars are checked on.
142
If you're using this for the first time, calendar would still look blank and that is normal.
143
I love this button too.
144
This today button I use all the time jumps to the current day you're in.
145
It's so great.
146
So let's go to a blank week.
147
Actually, I clearly I plan in advance, but here is the next week that I am planning for.
148
So I do have some stuff in, but this is just like my pre-planned videos and I come up with random things the week before.
149
So I'll add them in.
150
That's one of my favorite things about Google Calendar is it's
151
so easy to plan for the future and put reminders down for whatever day time you're looking for.
152
Let's say you're planning all you're going to do is click
153
a spot on the day you're planning for write in the task name
154
and after you wrote in the task name make sure you're in this event and not task.
155
I know that's like really confusing the task can't be like
156
you're limited that's the literal only reason why everything is quote unquote an event
157
because i like to keep things color coded to the colors
158
i have picked then here is where you can actually change the category
159
so all of your categories will appear
160
and you can also change the time here the day as well
161
if you want and then
162
if you change it to wednesday guess what it'll pop up on wednesday
163
but you can literally click anywhere
164
and be able to customize what day what time what category the actual task is collapse
165
and then you can estimate how long it's gonna take
166
and then save also another cool feature is you can drag so like
167
if you're like oh wait that's actually the wrong time it's
168
supposed to be at one o'clock put it to one
169
and it's actually one to three one to three now
170
so simple you can also add tasks on top of tasks
171
this is an example let's say this one is a reminder
172
and it can go directly on top
173
so reoccurring tasks this is a reoccurring task for you
174
if you have like a reminder
175
that you want you know every friday at 2 p.m you can do
176
that in google calendar and let me quickly show you how write what your reoccurring task is
177
and then you make sure you're in the right category for it
178
and then you set the time you go to more options here as well you'll see repeat options
179
and then you can do custom options on monday wednesday friday
180
and then ends never done save
181
and there you go it comes up as you can see
182
right there monday wednesday friday until eternity i will say though
183
if you edit a reoccurring task
184
so for example let's say i have my post idea
185
and then you save it it is going to ask you edit reoccurring event just this one
186
or this and following or all of them
187
so I always change it to this event
188
and then as you can see it only changed that specific one and not all of my reoccurring ones.
189
So you have learned everything that I do and how I plan all aspects of my life.
190
Make sure to download that mobile app because I use
191
that all the time when you're on the go and you have something comes up and you have something to do.
192
Your phone is usually likely always with you so you can just add it in the mobile app.
193
It's so simple.
194
You do it the same way you would do it on a computer, except, you know, your mouse is your finger and you just tap it
195
and you change the settings you need to and you're good to go.
196
Well, my two problems with physical planners were that it's hard to always have a physical planner with you all the time.
197
Like a lot of times my physical planner would stay at home
198
or would stay at work when I used to work a nine to five.
199
And I would think of things I need to do when I'm like out with friends or something.
200
And then I'm like, damn, I don't have my planner.
201
And google calendar once you add it one place it syncs everywhere else
202
so if you're out with your friends
203
and you think of something to do add it using the mobile app
204
and it'll also add to your calendar
205
when you open it up on your computer it has literally saved my life
206
and it takes a lot of stress out of your brain
207
and your body and mind from having to remember everything also the time blocking it is
208
so easy first of all to just like plan two years from now
209
if you want to which is so great you can't really do
210
that with physical planners you know they end at some point you have all of your times listed here
211
and it's just creme de la creme you're not just like
212
following the to-do list you can actually put what time you're doing what
213
and once you plan the entire week out i just think
214
it's just like how can you not want to try it out for yourself after all of
215
that you know that was my little spiel on google calendar
216
and now let's get into the plan with me before we start a quick word from our sponsor okay
217
so you guys know i'm constantly upgrading little corners of my
218
apartment the one thing i didn't realize i desperately needed was a proper desk chair
219
so so I'm partnering with Calami to share their new Atlas chair, which honestly might be the best chair you can get under $300.
220
I started by assembling it myself, and it was actually super straightforward.
221
Every piece is labeled, the tools are included, and it took me less than 20 minutes, which is saying a lot because I normally procrastinate anything that involves screws.
222
Once it was set up, the first thing I noticed was the support.
223
The Atlas has this breathable mesh back, adjustable lumbar support, and a really plush seat cushion.
224
It feels sturdy but still soft, like the perfect balance for long editing days.
225
I also love that the headrest and armrest are adjustable so you can customize it exactly how you like to sit.
226
And the tilt function is chef's kiss.
227
I didn't realize how much I was leaning forward before until I sat in this.
228
So if you're looking for a comfortable ergonomic upgrade without spending a fortune, the Atlas chair by Kalami is truly one of the best desk chairs under $300.
229
I've been using it every day and it makes my workspace feel so much more comfortable and put together.
230
I'll have the link below if you want to check it out.
231
Thank you, Kalami, for sponsoring a portion of today's video.
232
So for planning, the other thing that I use is my notes app or physical notepad.
233
That's always really nice to have, especially on your Sunday planning sessions where it's like, okay, I'm brain dumping everything that I need to do, everywhere that I need to be, a grocery list.
234
I use the notes app on my phone.
235
Again, like things with me everywhere and not just, you know, at my desk at home.
236
Do your brain dumping session on all of that.
237
And once you have that, you can take that and organize it to each category.
238
So I'm going to go ahead and do that off camera and then get back to you guys.
239
okay hi guys i'm back i spent some time i finished
240
my notes app a lot of times things come to me
241
though as i'm planning to i actually end up adding
242
and changing my planner every single day i spend i mean i'm not like meticulously changing it like crazy usually
243
when i plan on sundays for the most part a really good overview
244
and a lot of that tends to happen i think
245
that sunday planning session
246
or whatever the first day of the week is for you personally in your life some people that's monday
247
but that initial first planning session for the week ahead does
248
so much and is so so crucial for me anyway
249
so i'm just going to go through all of the things
250
that i wrote down on my notes and then transfer
251
that to my calendar and then anything else
252
that comes up make sure i add
253
that in to you usually the first thing
254
that i plan is my short form content stuff i'll write in like details of the video here and
255
if you're linking anything you can link things there as well
256
this is an example for this video this is how i
257
plan this video this is how i plan my content as far as like the details of what i'm filming
258
and what needs to be in the content i also do on google calendar
259
and it's so nice i just love this i love this
260
so much it looks so cohesive and you can just go in
261
and change it so this is what it looks like in the actual event
262
if you are curious and you can go ahead change it add things whatever okay
263
so that's kind of what i have for my content that's
264
essentially how i plan my content to sum it up i
265
have a reoccurring task for whenever i'm posting videos like for
266
short form content i'm always posting at 12 p.m 12 30
267
and then i brain dump my ideas on my notes app
268
and then i add an interview calendar the exact video
269
that i plan to post and then within
270
that as well you're able to type in like notes for
271
that video if you have it and for content ideas that's a whole video in
272
and itself so i'm gonna finish up planning just
273
because i'm taking forever doing this
274
and that's pretty much how i organize my life using google calendar
275
if you have any other questions definitely leave them down below i'm going to be responding to comments
276
and i want to help you guys out
277
because i don't use every single tool that google calendar has to offer
278
and no pressure you do not need to use every single tool there is
279
so much which i appreciate that google but i definitely don't need it
280
so if there's something that you're curious about
281
and i didn't talk about in the video definitely leave it down below
282
and i'm happy to answer and just a reminder
283
that your google calendar is not meant to be stressful it's
284
meant to be cozy it's meant to be something you look
285
forward to doing every morning it's supposed to make your life
286
so much easier and and be a place for you to write down everything
287
so you don't have to keep it up in your head definitely give it a try on making it aesthetic, picking a color palette that you like.
288
Trust that that alone will motivate you so much more
289
and you'll always remember to look at your planner because it's so pretty.
290
And let me know in the comments down below if you plan like this.
291
I would love to know.

- Từ dài — đặt trọng âm cho đúng: adjustable /əˈd͡ʒʌstəbəl/, categorize /ˈkætɪɡəˌɹaɪz/, chronologically /ˌkɹɒnəˈlɒdʒɪkli/, procrastinate /pɹoʊˈkɹæs.tə.neɪt/, eternity /əˈtɜɹnəti/
Những âm người Việt thường gặp khó:

- Âm /tʃ/, /dʒ/ và /ʒ/ — tiếng Việt không có, đừng đọc thành “ch” hay “gi”: emoji /ɪˈmoʊ.d͡ʒi/, adjustable /əˈd͡ʒʌstəbəl/, generate /ˈd͡ʒɛn.ə.ɹeɪt/, chronologically /ˌkɹɒnəˈlɒdʒɪkli/, matcha /ˈmɑ.t͡ʃə/
- Âm /æ/ — mở miệng rộng hơn âm “e”: calendar /ˈkæl.ən.də/, planner /ˈplænɚ/, palette /ˈpælɪt/, hashtag /ˈhæʃˌtæɡ/, blank /ˈblæŋk/

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?
Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
