also includes a map of the world, and information about cities, world
times, and national and international dialling codes.
• Entering a ‘work to do list’. This is best entered as a To-do list in
Calendar. You will be able to see outstanding tasks in the Day view, set
alarms to remind you to do them and cross out items when you’ve
completed them.
You may also wish to:
• Keep a meeting agenda or minutes as a memo or voice note attached to
the meeting’s entry in the Calendar. You can then retrieve the notes by
finding the meeting entry.
• Keep a record of expenses in the Sheet program. Here you can search
for items, add columns of numbers, work out totals and tax and so on.
