Chapter 7

Staying on Top of Things

IN THIS CHAPTER

Work with Calendar events

Understand notifications and reminders

Learn how to utilize apps to stay engaged

Keep up with weather and friends

Life doesn’t slow down, does it? I’m realizing that the older I get, the more stuff I have to do; it’s just that today’s stuff is different than yesterday’s, or even last year’s. Not only that, the more things I have to keep up with, the more tools I need to help me stay on top of them — the tools Apple Watch provides are the focus of this chapter.

You look at how Apple Watch can help you interact with your calendar, notifications, and reminders. You discover how to use several apps that can help you tackle daily activities. For example, Calendar and Reminders can help you stay on top of a lunch appointment, while Maps can guide you to the location of the restaurant. And if all else fails and you get turned around somehow, if the person you're meeting also has an Apple Watch, you can use the Find People app to pinpoint their location.
