Use a Google Calendar combined with a mobile terminal to implement (project member) calendar and time management (I)

Time, as we grow older, we will feel more and more valuable: all kinds of insufficiency, all kinds of waste, all kinds of delay. The only thing you can do is to reflect on yourself and slowly implement your own time management (instead of managing your time, it is better to manage yourself. Time is fair to everyone, with 24 hours a day, there is not much one second, but what everyone can use is totally different ). During this time, I am also reading books related to time management and trying different ways to improve time utilization and work efficiency. For example, when I go to work every morning, I will spend ten minutes arranging the schedule, write it in a notebook and try to use the mobile phone calendar. This provides a better prompt function. However, work is not a single person's business. It is the result of mutual cooperation between a team, especially software development. It is the result of the collaboration of multiple members and the management of time and schedule, it is also necessary to coordinate with other colleagues to let others know about your time block or their task arrangement. In this way, the project supervisor can know at any time whether the Task Arrangement of the members can keep up with the plan, members also try their best to avoid disturbing others when they are busy.
