Comparing ways to move around the Outlook and Google calendar *

Earlier this week I posted a tip on LinkedIn, comparing ways to move around the Outlook and Google Calendar. For those of you who are not on LinkedIn I thought I'd share this quick overview:

Outlook has the added benefit that you can jump to a date using English words and formulas, which I love.

OK, that doesn't work in Google, but if you are still typing 10/09/2021 to jump to tomorrow's date you can save yourself some time by typing 10/9. No need to type leading zeros or years.

That's it. See you next week when you'll be the first to hear - as normal.
