## Calendar events are easy…or is it?

99.9% of the time, I don’t need anyone telling me how to send calendar invitations in Google Calendar.

But, when it’s a Quarter Business Review (QBR) Meeting with our Senior Director, you can bet I’m triple-checking **everything** with my manager and the rest of the team!

## Enter: Calendar event drafts

I use the “@” command in Google Docs to add a calendar event draft so my colleagues can give their input:

We would use the same doc to align on talking points and order of presentation:

Once everything is finalized, click the calendar 📆 icon to create the event in Google Calendar!

💡

****Note:** Unfortunately hyperlinks currently do not work in event drafts. Hopefully Google fixes this soon!

## ⌨️ Keyboard shortcut

- Type “@heading” to quickly add section headers. Don’t forget you can change default fonts for headings as well ([instruction in previous issue](https://www.jeffsu.org/productivity-ping-65/))
