Google Calendar Reminders for Study and Office Work
Use reminders and events to manage classes, deadlines, meetings and exams.
Create an event with reminders
- Open Google Calendar (app or calendar.google.com) → + Create → Event.
- Title clearly: Class 10 IT Practical Exam – Lab 2.
- Set date and time; add the location or Meet link.
- Notifications: add two, e.g. 1 day before and 1 hour before (choose Notification or Email).
- Save. For an all-day item (holiday, fee last date) tick All day.
Repeating schedules (timetables)
| Need | Repeat setting |
|---|---|
| Daily revision 7–8 pm | Daily |
| Coaching Mon/Wed/Fri | Custom → Weekly → M, W, F |
| Fee due every 10th | Monthly on day 10 |
| Exam season only | Weekly, Ends on a date |
Make a separate calendar for each area (left menu → Other calendars → + → Create new calendar): Study, School duties, Family. Each gets its own colour and can be shown or hidden.
Tasks vs events
- Event: has a time slot (class, meeting, exam).
- Task: something to complete by a date (submit project, pay fee) – Create → Task; tick it when done; unfinished tasks stay visible.
- Notes from Google Keep with reminders also appear here.
If reminders do not ring
- Phone Settings → Apps → Calendar → Notifications: allowed, with sound.
- Battery optimisation can delay notifications – set Calendar to “Unrestricted” on Android.
- Check the event has a notification and the correct time zone (Settings → General → Time zone).
- In a browser, allow notifications for calendar.google.com.
A weekly plan that works
Block fixed things first (school, coaching, travel), then add 2–3 study blocks of 45–60 minutes with 10-minute breaks, and one buffer slot on Sunday for missed work. Review every Sunday evening and move what did not happen.
Reminders के साथ event बनाएँ
- Google Calendar (app या calendar.google.com) खोलें → + Create → Event।
- साफ़ title: Class 10 IT Practical Exam – Lab 2।
- Date और time सेट करें; जगह या Meet link जोड़ें।
- Notifications: दो जोड़ें, जैसे 1 दिन पहले और 1 घंटा पहले (Notification या Email चुनें)।
- Save करें। पूरे दिन वाली चीज़ (छुट्टी, fee की आख़िरी तारीख़) के लिए All day tick करें।
दोहराए जाने वाले schedules (timetables)
| ज़रूरत | Repeat setting |
|---|---|
| रोज़ 7–8 बजे revision | Daily |
| Coaching सोम/बुध/शुक्र | Custom → Weekly → M, W, F |
| हर महीने की 10 तारीख़ को fee | Monthly on day 10 |
| सिर्फ़ exam season | Weekly, किसी date पर ख़त्म |
हर क्षेत्र के लिए अलग calendar बनाएँ (बायाँ menu → Other calendars → + → Create new calendar): Study, School duties, Family। हर एक का अपना रंग होता है और दिखा या छिपा सकते हैं।
Tasks बनाम events
- Event: समय वाला slot (class, meeting, exam)।
- Task: किसी date तक पूरा करने वाला काम (project जमा, fee भरना) – Create → Task; पूरा होने पर tick; अधूरे tasks दिखते रहते हैं।
- Reminders वाले Google Keep notes भी यहाँ दिखते हैं।
अगर reminders नहीं बजते
- Phone Settings → Apps → Calendar → Notifications: allowed, आवाज़ के साथ।
- Battery optimisation notifications देर से ला सकता है – Android पर Calendar को “Unrestricted” करें।
- जाँचें कि event में notification है और time zone सही है (Settings → General → Time zone)।
- Browser में calendar.google.com के लिए notifications की अनुमति दें।
काम करने वाली साप्ताहिक योजना
पहले तय चीज़ें block करें (school, coaching, सफ़र), फिर 10 मिनट के breaks के साथ 45–60 मिनट के 2–3 study blocks, और छूटे काम के लिए रविवार को एक buffer slot। हर रविवार शाम review करें और जो नहीं हुआ उसे आगे खिसकाएँ।
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I set two reminders for one event?
Open the event → Edit → under notifications click Add notification and set, for example, 1 day and 1 hour before.
Can I get Google Calendar reminders by email?
Yes. In the event’s notification setting choose Email instead of Notification. You can also set default notifications per calendar in Settings.
Why are my Calendar notifications late on Android?
Battery optimisation or Do Not Disturb may delay them. Set the Calendar app to Unrestricted battery use and allow its notifications.
