Colour coded calendars

Strategy

Instead of giving someone a list of appointments, create a calendar grid and mark each time slot with a different colour.

This strategy helps people who struggle with organisation, time management, or reading to quickly understand their schedule visually.

You can also try:

  • Mark recurring events with the same colour
  • Mark events that are somehow related with the same colour
  • Add pictures or icons to the same events
  • Include travel time in the schedule
  • Put two entries on the calendar: one for departure and one for appointment
