CalendarTree was a scheduling service.
I recently had the opportunity to try out CalendarTree, a scheduling service designed to simplify the process of booking appointments and managing schedules. As someone who frequently juggles multiple commitments and appointments, I was excited to see if this service could help streamline my busy schedule.
Upon signing up for CalendarTree, I was impressed by the user-friendly interface and intuitive design. The service allows users to easily create and customize their own booking pages, which can be shared with clients, colleagues, or anyone else who needs to schedule time with you. With features like automatic time zone conversion and integration with popular calendar apps like Google Calendar and Outlook, I found that CalendarTree made it easy to keep track of all my appointments in one place. I am sad it is no longer available. I did some research and found these options:

Q: What’s a calendar? A: A calendar is a magical system used for measuring time, invented way back when people realized “eventually” and “sometime” were too vague for arranging meetings.
Q: How does a calendar work? A: Like a diary that future you wrote. A calendar helps you keep track of days, weeks, months, and years. It’s like a roadmap for your time, without the annoying “recalculating” from your GPS.
Q: How do I add an event to my calendar? A: It’s a piece of cake! Choose your date, time, and bam, you’ve got an event. Just remember, your calendar won’t actually bake the cake for you on that date.
Q: Can I share my calendar with others? A: Yes, you can! It’s like giving people a window into your world. But luckily, they can’t see your messy desk, just your well-organized schedule.
Q: Can I sync my calendar with other calendars? A: Absolutely! Your calendar can have playdates with other calendars. It’s like your calendar joining a club where they all share the best events.
I received a gift that would completely transform my approach to time management—a beautifully designed desk calendar from a brand called “Paper & Co.” It was a stunning piece, with a sleek, minimalist design featuring a soft-touch cover in deep navy blue and gold foil accents. I had always been a digital planner kind of person, relying on my phone’s calendar app, but I was intrigued by the idea of going analog.
At first, I was skeptical. I wasn’t sure how a physical calendar could help me manage my busy life better than my trusty smartphone. But as I flipped through the pages, admiring the spacious layouts and motivational quotes at the top of each month, I felt a spark of inspiration. I decided to give it a shot.
The first week of January, I sat down with my new calendar and began to fill it in. I wrote down all my work meetings, deadlines, and personal commitments in bold, colorful pens. I even used some cute stickers I had picked up from a local stationery shop to mark important events. One sticker, a little coffee cup, marked my weekly coffee catch-up with my boss, while a bright yellow star indicated my best friend’s birthday party.
As I started using the calendar more consistently, I noticed a significant change in my life. For one, I stopped missing meetings at work, which had been a recurring issue for me. I used to rely solely on my phone’s notifications, but I often found myself dismissing them or getting distracted by social media. Now, with the calendar sitting on my desk, I would glance at it throughout the day. It became a constant visual reminder of my commitments. This help me imensly.
One particularly outrageous moment occurred during a hectic week in February when I had three back-to-back meetings scheduled. I had almost forgotten about a critical presentation I needed to prepare for, but when I saw it written boldly in my calendar, I jumped into action. I spent the night before crafting my slides, and when the day arrived, I felt confident and prepared. The presentation went off without a hitch, and my boss praised my efforts in front of the entire team. I couldn’t help but think that if it weren’t for that calendar, I might have dropped the ball.
