I use the Google calendar, with different types of events in different colors sub-calendars

• One the things, that only I need to know (eg. Refill the automatic cat feeder, dentist appointment)
• one shared with the wife, so she can see, if I have plans to see friends or similar, and she has a similar I can see
• one shared for the daughters appointment
• one shared that contains my work schedule
• Public holidays (Maintained by Google, so always up to date)
• Birthdays and anniversaries All of them displayed on a widget

One Calendar, one task list and a few physical lists.

• the calendar: Thunderbird and FossifyContacts + DAVx5 with my mail provider
• the list: Thunderbird (want to change that) and tasks.org

Using GrapheneOS and Fedora Kinoite

If someone knows a good, simple, best GTK (yes I love tons of GTK apps on KDE) task app that doesnt distract, please recommend.

I use Google account calendar and tasks. On my phone I use Google Calendar and Tasks.org app, syncing both with Google account. On my computer I use Gnome Evolution for everything including email — in me experience it’s far more compatible with Google than Thunderbird.

I have several subcalendars: a personal one for events I add manually, one for holidays, one for birthdays and anniversaries (which is generated automatically basing on contacts data), one subscribed from Facebook events, one for film releases and one for garbage truck schedule. Only the personal one and garbage one are manual, all other are synchronised from someplace else

For tasks I use 3 lists: a personal one, one for university stuff (though I graduated so it’s sitting idle) and one for work tasks. The last one is only for stuff important enough to not keep it only on my work phone and Outlook, like sending in timesheet.

Yes I do differentiate between events and tasks because they have entirely different purposes.

Yes it makes sense very much to have a separate holiday calendar because you can easily sync it and not fill in holidays manually and also colour ccode it inside your calendar app

I have multiple calendars, but I’m not exactly happy with my setup so I’m interested in what kind of answers you get.

I have maintenance calendars for both the house and my car for things like replacing filters, cleaning fans, changing oil, etc. It’s mostly regular recurring maintenance, but I also add any car projects in the car maintenance calendar (e.g. replace head gasket, overhauled cooling system) for record keeping.

I have a foraging calendar where I note when and where I’ve found different things e.g:

• July 11th Chanterelles National Forest
• Sept 3rd Pawpaws, State Park

After that I have a Personal calendar which is where I pretty much dump everything else like Dr appointments, friends travel plans, reservations, etc.

1. I have my personal calendar and work calendar. When I’m in school I also have a class calendar and a homework calendar (all day events that start and end corresponding to when assignments are given and due). I also have access to my sister’s personal and work calendars because we live together and share a car. she has the same permissions for my calendars with view settings so she doesn’t see my work meeting names and vice versa.

2. I use Google Calendar so tasks are their own thing. I do use them for specific tasks that seed to be performed at a certain time or day, but don’t require a full event such as taking out the trash or submitting an invoice.

3. It depends. I’m fine with the default public holidays calendar, but you may have different needs.
