A few weeks ago, I met with Moira Fuller for a strategy session. We talked about ways I could grow my business while staying aligned with my energy. One of her suggestions was to be more intentional with my schedule by blocking certain days for meetings and leaving others for focused work.
That conversation reminded me just how valuable my calendar scheduler has been. Some of my clients have been hesitant to use one because they worry it might feel impersonal. The truth is, a scheduler does the opposite. By automating the logistics, it frees you to bring more of a personal touch to your meetings.
Here are 6 reasons why I encourage clients to use a calendar scheduler:
1. No time zone confusion
It is easy to double book when working across time zones. A scheduler does the math for you. If you are in Florida and your client is in California, or even across the pond, the system adjusts automatically eliminating this problem.
2. Save time finding a time that works
Without a scheduler, it can take ten emails to lock in a meeting. With one link, your contact picks a time that works. It is simpler for them and less stressful for you.
3. Automated reminders
No-shows decrease when reminders are sent automatically. These small touches help everyone stay on track and make you look polished and professional.
4. Easy rescheduling
Plans change. With a scheduler, rescheduling is as easy as clicking a link. It saves time and allows you to be flexible.
5. 24/7 Convenience
Your scheduler works even when you’re not. People can book when it fits their schedule, even outside of business hours. It shows flexibility and makes working with you easier.
6. Control over your calendar
You decide who can book, when, and how often. You can block off certain days, limit the number of meetings in a day or week, add buffer time, and even require approval before an appointment is confirmed.
Final Thought
My conversation with Moira reminded me that being intentional with your time is one of the best ways to protect your energy and serve others well. Calendar scheduler can make this easier and actually helps you save time, look professional, and show up at your best, which is what clients appreciate most.
Tidycal is my go to scheduler; which one do you recommend? What are the benefits for you and your clients? Let me know in the comments!
