Using Your Daily Calendar

The Daily Calendar page is intended to show you your day at a glance, and help you focus on the tasks and priorities you have identified as most important to you. 

The page displays your Task list, Calendar, and Actions list. You can see what you have prioritized for today, and what you need to accomplish. Inspire Actions which are due (or due in the immediate future) are also shown so you can factor those actions in with your day's plan.

Use the Daily Calendar page to block out time on your calendar to work on tasks by dragging your tasks directly from your task list to your calendar to create a calendar event.

NOTE: If Inspire is linked with your company’s Office 365 suite, creating an event in the Daily Calendar will also sync to your Microsoft Outlook account.
