I suspect we don’t have to explain ‘social jetlag’ to you — trying to fit too much into your schedule can lead to symptoms not unlike the body clock disorientation that causes jetlag. A recent study confirms that trying to cram too much into your calendar can not only ruin your sleep patterns, it can also make you fat.
Dear Lifehacker, I’m looking for a way to sync my iPhone, Outlook and Gmail calendars all together, so when I make a change on one all of the other calendars update to the changes automatically. I have tried to use the iCloud control panel in Windows, without much luck. Even when I can set my iCloud and Gmail calendars as internet calendars on Outlook they show as read-only calendars and I can’t add appointments. Please help. Thanks, Calendar Clod

A useful but hard-to-locate tweak for Outlook: its calendar defaults to 30-minute appointments, but if you want to break up your day into smaller or larger chunks, you can also choose 5, 6, 10, 15 or 60 minute gaps. Just right-click on the Calendar, choose Other settings and pick your time setting. For more calendar trickery, learn how to customise customise how many days you can see ahead.
