    I was forced to learn about Google Calendar because I needed a way to organize appointments with my clients. It was frustrating trying to find a You Tube tutorial that didn't make me dizzy with confusing content. Out of all of the available tutorials, this video was not only comprehensive, but it was also designed for people having little-to-no background in Google Calendar. Thank you, Anson. I intend to turn to you for all things Google from now on!!!!
  • The UI/UX for Google Calendar is an absolute masterpiece in my opinion. So intuitive and sleek while being optionally robust and technical. The event creation dialog starts off being minimalist and lightweight and quickly becomes verbose if it's needed. When I began using it (it's my first digital organizer tool), I felt I mastered it within an hour of tinkering, meaning someone could become a power user gradually over a short time span just by regularly using the app. It's remarkably powerful while maintaining a sleek exterior.
  • This was the most comprehensive and clear instruction for Google Calendar that I found. Job finished, thanks to you!
