okay so if you have an email in Gmail
which is what we're using right now you
can add it to your Google Calendar
there's just a couple steps on how to do
it so let's talk like we just got this
first email in our inbox it's asking us
if we want to go to lunch tomorrow and
we want to get that into our calendar so
you can see the calendars pulled up on
the right-hand side and I want to put it
in here the first thing that you want to
do is you want to open up the email so I
left clicked on it and now you're only
seeing the email that we're going to
work with and go up to the three dots
which means more and left click on it
come down to create event so this is the
option that's a little bit buried and
hard to find but here it is that's going
to put it in your calendar and it does
at first by bringing up a new window
with calendar Google com so this is the
calendar app and a couple of things are
going on here and the first thing that
you notice is it took the subject line
of the email and made it the title of
the event and that might work fine I'll
just take the question mark off and then
it gives it a time that's close to the
time it is right now so pay attention to
that and if you just save this it's
going to be at the wrong time because
this launch is going to be tomorrow so
let's change that and let's just type 12
p.m. and we'll just change a few other
things here to make this email work for
you as an event it took the body of the
email and put it down in the description
of the event here that's fine so we'll
leave that what it also did was added
the sender has a meeting participant you
can leave this on here or you can take
it off but if you leave it here it's
going to send an email to this person as
an invite so they're going to get an
email back that's an invite to a Google
Calendar event and one more thing that's
happening here is I'm using G suite
instead of just a regular Google account
so I had the paid version and it gives
me the option to find a time and if this
person that email me
was in my organization so kind of have
the same type of email address I could
see their calendar here and we could
pick a mutual time they don't happen to
be so that option don't really do
anything right now but I wanted to show
that to you in case you're doing this
inside of a company that's using G suite
I do have some more information on
Philly link to G suite in the
description of this video if you're
interested in it and not using it yet
there's a 20% discount for your first
year so you can check that out if you
want and one more thing let's add a
notification right because you might
forget that he invited you so ten
minutes before cuz you're close to the
restaurant your calendar probably on
your phone is going to remind you but at
this point we're done with this email so
what we can do is come up here and save
it and it's saying do you really want me
to email those people let's let's do it
go ahead and G sweet is saying those
people are external to your organization
are you sure and I said yes let's go to
tomorrow and see that this is in our
calendar now Google Calendar was being
kind of cute and it colored it red
because it came from Gmail so just leave
it that way that way you remember where
it came from and if I come back to Gmail
here I'm back at the email I see in the
right-hand pane that the event has been
added so now I'm just going to archive
this email I don't need to have it in my
inbox and there is one more thing to
keep in mind here that might make this
easier if you want to keep things as
simple as possible you could just snooze
this until the time that you want to
address it so if you were putting in
your calendar because you don't want to
look at it till tomorrow you can just
snooze it until then let's act like
we're doing that right now it goes out
of your email inbox but it stays in your
archives it's in here it's going to pop
back up tomorrow morning so that way you
kept your calendar clean let's say that
particular email was not an event it was
just a reminder to yourself snoozing it
is keeping one less app involved right
so you don't have to deal with your
calendar that way so we went over how to
take an email add it to your calendar
and maybe an option that's even cleaner
than audience
calendar which is snoozing it until
later so if it makes more sense to add
that as a task I have another video on
that a link to it should be up on your
screen right now you can also add it to
Google keep so there's all these options
right these apps are shown here on the
right and there's different ways to get
emails into each one of them and each
one of them will treat it a little bit
differently so I hope that was helpful
if you like that you can subscribe and
see a lot more like it thanks
