It was an effort to help you organize your precious time better, making sure you focus on top-priority tasks. The problem is that many people spend <strong>more time in meetings<\/strong> than actually executing work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enter the <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/calendar\/answer\/12377581\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">new Time Insights update<\/a>. Only <strong>available to top-paying members<\/strong>, you\u2019ll be able to add colors to various meetings and tasks with labels. When you enter the insights menu, there\u2019s a section that lets you organize the timeline by color. If you don\u2019t have a label for one of the projects, you can quickly add one there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other option is going into the meeting details and <strong>adding a color and label<\/strong>. It will still show up on the insights menu. In this way, you can quickly see who or what is eating up all of your time, and then adjust accordingly. It\u2019s an excellent way to improve productivity, especially when you want your focus on a specific task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"736\" height=\"485\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/08\/Color-coded-categories-on-Google-Calendar-help-you-stay-organized-2.jpg\" alt=\"Color-coded categories on Google Calendar help you stay organized\" class=\"wp-image-198751\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/08\/Color-coded-categories-on-Google-Calendar-help-you-stay-organized-2.jpg 736w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/08\/Color-coded-categories-on-Google-Calendar-help-you-stay-organized-2-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/08\/Color-coded-categories-on-Google-Calendar-help-you-stay-organized-2-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/08\/Color-coded-categories-on-Google-Calendar-help-you-stay-organized-2-150x99.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 736px) 100vw, 736px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This update is at least better than the last <a href=\"https:\/\/google-calendar.en.softonic.com\/articles\/google-calendar-creepy-update\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">creepy Google Calendar update<\/a> where colleagues can see where you are when you\u2019re <strong>supposed to be working<\/strong>.
