Take the Two Week Perspective

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).
