Build templates for events that occur irregularly and paste them into your Calendar! Did you ever wonder why Apple’s built-in Calendar app has no Copy & Paste? I certainly did! Stop going through the tedious process of providing every event detail over and over again and use Calendar Paste instead to: • Schedule team meetings, • work shifts, • on-call duties, • productivity appointments with your lazy self, • events with durations like 3:45 which are ennerving to specify in the Calendar app. --- Attribution: Thanks to Daniel Bruce from http://www.entypo.com/ for the lock icon template!
