When my husband and I spent five years living and working on the road, we became experts at traveling light. We both worked in hotel reconstruction, which meant we often had only a few days’ notice before moving to the next town. Everything we owned fit in his pickup and my Kia, and that was it.
At first, I unpacked everything each time we arrived. I wanted to feel settled, even if it was just for a few weeks. But it didn’t take long to realize that unpacking every single thing only made each move harder. It added extra time, stress, and clutter. Eventually, we learned to unpack just the necessities, like the Ninja Foodi, an induction burner, and a few daily essentials. The rest stayed packed and ready for the next stop.
That experience taught me something powerful: you don’t have to unpack everything to function well. Sometimes less really is more efficient.
That same mindset came to mind recently when I helped a client set up her TidyCal account. The entire setup took under an hour because, she only had one meeting type and we focused on what mattered most. We didn’t try to use every feature right away. Instead, we started with the basics she needed to begin booking meetings smoothly. She can add the extras when she’s ready.
What I love about TidyCal is how simple and flexible it is for a one-time lifetime payment. You can create unlimited event types, connect multiple calendars, accept payments, add buffer times, and include intake questions, all without worrying about recurring costs.
Setting it up can be easier than you think:
- Connect your Google Calendar.
- Add your meeting details.
- Customize your availability.
- Connect your preferred meeting platform
- Share your booking link.
That’s it. No clutter, no overthinking, just a clean and professional system that helps you schedule meetings with ease.
If you’ve been using Calendly and paying monthly, TidyCal can feel like that first time you decide not to unpack everything. You still have what you need, but your systems stay light, flexible, and ready for whatever comes next.
To make your own setup even smoother, I created a Google Form template you can copy and customize. It’s designed to help you organize all your meeting details, availability preferences, and payment options before you log in to TidyCal.
Grab your free TidyCal Setup Prep Form and make a copy for your business. You’ll have everything ready to go before setup begins, without unpacking all the extras.
Sometimes, the easiest way to move forward is to carry only what you need for just the next step.
