10+ Easy Google Calendar Shortcuts To Power Up Your Productivity

These handy tricks will streamline your entire planning process

Google Calendar seems like a simple tool at first.

Create events, maybe a task or too — pretty easy.

In reality, it can be turned into an entire life-managing software, with a bunch more features than you may have initially expected.

Today, I’ll be covering multiple shortcut and features that are tiny but time-saving, so you can further level up to a gCal pro.

‘T’ For Today

This allows you to go to the current date, and even the current time.

‘G’ For All Dates

Search whatever date you want for easy navigation.

This is a bit useless, but you can type in ‘today’ and it will also transport you to the current date.

‘C’ For New Event

This will create a new event after your current event.

It’s super helpful for planning out your entire day or even your entire week — no more mouse required.

‘/’ For Search

Want to see exactly what day you had that meeting?

Or how many times you’ve taken an outdoor walk in the past few weeks?

You can search all your events’ titles to find results fast.

Keep in mind your search term doesn’t have to match the title exactly — if you search ‘Meeting’, ‘meeting with john’ and ‘work meeting’ will both show up along with regular ‘meeting’ events.

‘Q’ For New All-Day Event

Personally, I love using the all-day section for my tasks that I can simply knock off as I go along(it’s one of the three steps I use to plan my day every morning).

This shortcut makes it a lot easier to do that, along with just normal all-day events — say, birthdays.

‘+’ For Search For People

While not a feature I personally use, if you use Google Calendar for work or just have a lot of acquaintances connected with it, you can search your calendars for people easily by simply going ‘Shift =’
