Now, what you have to do in this case, is to simply get benefitted with the magnificent reveal of Google Calendar where you can enjoy scheduling your life online, allowing you to manage multiple schedules at the same time.

The Google Calendar is easy to handle and better than your mobile phone’s scheduler in every way.
