Internet Tidbit: Calendly
Have you ever had to play phone or email tag over and over trying to get a meeting set up? Next time you need to schedule something with someone, use Calendly instead. All you have to do is connect your Google Calendar to the site, and Calendly will know your availability. It can then coordinate with others to find all possible meeting times. Someone looking for a meeting time with you can even make their own appointment with you. The service is free, but if you want to schedule group meetings you would want to upgrade for $10 a month.
Car Tip
If you have a cracked taillight or turn-signal cover and can’t get it replaced right away, you should cover up the crack. Auto parts stores sell orange or red tape that can cover a crack. This will keep water out and prevent further damage to the light compartment until you can get the cover replaced.
Green Living Tip
Keeping under the speed limit will help you burn less gas and increase your miles per gallon. Your gas mileage will be better if you avoid sudden starts and stops. You should also avoid revving your engine. Not only is this more energy efficient, but it is also safer for you and the drivers around you.
