A simple way to choose colors

• Choose clearly different colors for personal and work schedules.
• If you belong to several teams, focus on recognizing yourself within each team.
• When color is not enough, add a short clue such as the customer, location, or job type to the title.
• After changing a color, open a busy date in the month view and check that it is genuinely easier to read.
