Google Calendar’s Secret Codewords

Greetings all!

As I was reviewing my upcoming week in Google Calendar, I realized how much I enjoy seeing an event image. One of my favorites - which, alas, I have not yet  planned! - is “synchronized swimming”!😊

You can see gym, lunch, dentist, and so much more at a glance on your phone.

To get an image, sometimes you have to put more than one word, and some images look strange or just missing - so this is not very intuitive. For example, “pay bill” makes me think of going to the beach because of the waves and potentially a hot weather warning.

There is no “meeting” or “contact” image but I did find “reach out to” (make sire to include ‘to’).

Also you cannot plan for “work” – is this a sign that work should not be on our calendar? I did discover “interview” and “week planning” are good approximations.

Do you have any useful or unusual Google Calendar codewords? Drop me a line!
