Too Many Calendars!

In our district we have two email accounts, one through Outlook and one through GAFE. Having used both for a number of years now, I can honestly say I love both and I hate both! Like everything, there is good and bad. And I can choose to use one primarily, and forward the other, which I do, BUT, the calendars are not so easy to combine. I used to be able to sync them, but those days are over.

I have a personal gmail account and I have that calendar shared with my GAFE calendars, but it's those pesky Outlook appointments that get me. And in our district, some things just come through Outlook, I can't help it. But I do think I have find a work around for it.

If I have an event for the calendar, I usually start in my Outlook and create the event (because most of our Administration use Outlook I try to start there and include them as needed):

 

I enter all the pertinent information, then I invite people and (here's where I get it to my GAFE calendar) I invite myself, using my GAFE email address! When I go there to accept, it's now on my google calendar (and on my personal one because I have them shared) and in my Outlook because that's where I started!!

Might be a little extra work, but it's an easy fix to get my calendars to (well sort of) "sync". Try it out, see if it's for you. Or if anyone has any other ideas, help me out, let me know!!
