In this video, I’m sharing a feature inside Microsoft Outlook (the web version), that lets you set customised working hours for your calendar.
While this might not seem particularly important, making sure your calendar working hours reflect your ACTUAL availability is a huge benefit. It will impact the way people are able to book calendar appointments with you, as well as the way other Microsoft apps use your availability - specifically apps like Bookings and Teams.
I also love the fact that you can have several available blocks of time in a single day - perfect for when you have that monthly reporting time when you can't be disturbed, or a regular workshop or meeting that needs some buffer time on either side (to prep, and to decompress afterwards!)
Check out this tutorial to see how you can adjust your own Outlook calendar to your real availability, so you can see if it's a feature that will make it easier for you to manage your schedule.
