Anyone here using the Google Calendar sync with MLO 5?

[Joel]

I was curious to know who is using the calendar sync with MLO? If so, are you using it solely for work or for both work and your daily life in general?

I ask because I'm trying to use it for both work and my daily life but need a workflow that will work for me since the mobile apps are missing calendar sync. Currently, I use the Day View in Google Calendar as my "overview" for the day.  I make sure to sync MLO with GCal at the end of my day so it will be updated for the next day. When I need to add tasks during the day that I need to see in my overview, I add them to Google Calendar. However, occasionally I will need to add a task or time-block in my calendar for something that exists in MLO. Because I'm not at my PC, I can't hit the sync button so I have to create a new event in GCal and give it the name of the project in MLO manually. 

For those who use it both for work and daily life, what are you doing? Something similar? Is there a different way I could be using MLO with the calendar sync? If I can't find a good workflow then I'll have to move my stuff to another app like Todoist or something else that does sync with GCal but I'm not wanting to do that at all if I can find something that works.

I tried to use it, but it is not convenient for me.

I'd like to have multiple GCalendars in MLO, rather than create a specific calendar for MLO.

I whis I could use any of my appointment as part of a project, wether it is a personnal, family, work, children calendar. It's not possible.

Worse, when completed, the "task" being also an event end up to be deletedbecause they are not kept lifetime. I wish I could decide manualy if and when has to be deleted, or at least, the "task" being deleted, being able to keep the appointment in Google, for future reference if needed.

That said, for the moment I don't use it, and I hope MLO will someday be able to synchronize avery google calendars, like somes PIM apps do (Essential Pim for exemple).

Thanks for your response Oliver. I see what you mean. 

At this point, I'm now just curious if people are using it at all and if so, for daily life and/or work. Anyone else?

Coincidentally I was looking at that feature 2 hours ago. While I'm not convinced I am going to use it, if I do it would be from my Android version. And correct me if I'm wrong it is not on Android yet.

[Susanne Araf]

I use it for both, work and daily life.

I tried it once, but I didnt see the point of duplicating calendar entries in my todo list. never used it again. 

[John Hughes]

On the IOS version of MLO, I use the Today View to see events that are already on my Google calendar. I don't use the new sync feature mentioned here: https://www.mylifeorganized.net/support/sync-with-google-calendar/

Maybe I will try it again in the future. 

[Joel]

Okay, this is what I suspected - doesn't seem like a lot of us are using it. Thanks for responding guys. Was just curious.  ;)

[robisme (Olivier R)]

BUT. I repeat, I wish it would sync every calendars, then I would have a heavy use of it. (plan and follow up of events).

I use it and am pretty happy with it.  I use it for one special use case: something in the calendar that must take place on a particular day or day/time.  If you use it for generic "tasks due by" stuff you'll be sorry IMHO.

I don't use it. I'd prefer a Gantt view of my tasks that I can zoom in and out of.

[Joel]

Dan, I try to use my calendar for "must do" items only but I keep reverting back to adding things that don't necessarily have to be done at that time. I've come to realize that's where my problem lies - scheduling stuff that doesn't have to be scheduled.

My tuppence worth... I don't use Google Calendar. I use Outlook Calendar, which syncs to my phone nicely with Deja Office (this syncs my Outlook Contacts too).

My Calendar is used for appointments, meetings and events that happen at specific times, to make sure I don't double book unwittingly.

I manually duplicate the calendar items in MLO, so when I process my daily Starred View I can see how to fit in my other tasks around the appointments

Yes it takes a  wee bit longer, but less stressful than looking for an elusive and /or precarious technical solution
