The comments are mixed, from

to

EA hack: No more time zone math! 🕒

Today’s 2-part Tech Tip covers a tool that will save you an hour a day on scheduling meetings and converting time zones.

Part 1: Drag and copy availabilties

Instead of tediously typing out each time window you'd like to send someone, you can just drag them on your calendar and then copy paste.

Part 2: Convert up to 5 time zones instantly

To schedule across different time zones, just type out the city, country, or time zone before you copy paste the times.

Your selected times will automatically be formatted to each time zone.

Ok, you caught us red-handed… this is a shameless plug for Vimcal EA. 😳

With Vimcal EA, you’ll never do mental time zone math or manually type out time windows every again!

What once took 5 minutes now takes 5 seconds.

Schedule a call to try Vimcal EA, a calendar built just for executive assistants.

Next week’s tech tip will be a continuation on helpful browser shortcuts inspired by a reader who wrote in to share their favorite shortcuts.
