Turn your calendar into a virtual assistant with Reclaim co-founder Patrick Lightbody

<p>Most people who can hire EA’s or personal assistants struggle with the decision - especially if you’ve never had one before, it can feel like a luxury more than a necessity. That is, until you take the plunge, and see how much more you can get done with the right assistant on your team!</p><p>But what if you’re not in a position to hire someone? Well, it turns out you don’t have to miss out on the productivity boost - you just need to learn the lesser-known features of your digital calendar, and make the tool work for you, rather than against you. </p><p>Thankfully, Patrick Lightbody knows a thing or two about calendars. After running not one but two startups, Patrick developed a calendaring system to make sure nothing fell through the cracks - and he was especially committed to carving out more time for his health, his wellbeing, and his family. </p><p>And now he’s sharing his system with you, through Reclaim, software that turns your calendar into a virtual assistant. </p><p>Patrick shares how you can use Reclaim to up your calendar game, and he shares which existing Google Calendar features can help you get started. </p><p>Connect with Patrick in the support chat at <a href="http://reclaim.ai">Reclaim.ai</a></p><p>***</p><p>My new book Time Wise is out now.
