When is Good?
Scheduling meetings for our high-profile scientists is a combination of planning and luck. And while Outlook is our back-end tool, not everyone uses it because Apple computers always insinuated themselves into the fields of science and education. But regardless of what tool is used, there’s a strong need for figuring out what day will work.
There are tons of convoluted online options available. But in the end, something straightforward and fast is what’s needed.
Head over to When is Good and you will easily be able to poll people for their availability. In the end, you’ll have the dates and times that work. Then you can send the schedule, confident that you’ve picked a time that (probably) won’t be changed.
Better yet, you don’t even have to create an account if you don’t want to. This service is about as lightweight as you can get, but it takes a lot of the complexity out of making meeting arrangements.
My workmate, Nan, also recommends trying Doodle. It’s another super-simple scheduling site.
