Take the Two Week Perspective

ByBecky McCray

The Two Week Perspective is a different way to view your schedule.

I use Google Calendar. I like the weekly view, but when you’re on Thursday or Friday, mostly you see the past. So I changed to a Two Week view, and made that the default. Now I see more of what’s coming up. I’ve used it for over a month now. (I shared it on Twitter over a month ago.) It helps me to better plan my weeks.

Simple. But effective.

Here’s the step by step instructions for Google Calendar:

  1. Click Settings (on the top right).
  2. In the middle of the list of General Settings is the Custom View. Change this to 2 Weeks. 
  3. Just above the Custom View is the Default View. Change it to Custom View (2 Weeks).

What calendar tricks do you use?

  1. Just changed my Google calendar to the 2 week view. If the current week always stays on the top of the display, I think I am going to like it a lot–much less visual distraction. Thanks for the hint.
