– Example: • Monday morning grading, followed by student
appointments, followed by lecture• Tuesday morning yoga, followed by lecture, then student
appointments, then virtual office hours

Appointments

for both of you – Organizes your time and day more efficiently
based on your daily tasks• Free schedulers, such as, Appointy, allows
calendar syncing
