Google Calendar allows you to create and have access to multiple calendars so you can keep track of different types of events, shared availability, and the availability of certain resources.

Having multiple calendars is a great way to better organize your availability for meetings. The trick is to add multiple calendars that represent “layers” in your planning. For instance, you can have the following calendars:

1. Your work (i.e., Google Workspace) calendar
2. Your personal (i.e., Gmail) calendar (for example, with your kid’s soccer practices)
3. Your work calendar, which is shared with your colleagues.

You might not want to be available during your son’s soccer practice. Or maybe you do not want to be available when your partner is not available.
