In Phase 1 of the TWEAK IT practice, you create your TWEAK IT snapshot, which is a calendar and priority list system that allows you to track your actions and priorities at work and in your personal life in one complete picture.

To make creating your TWEAK IT snapshot as simple as possible, we suggest you use the most common calendaring and priority list systems. Preferably, stick with and build upon the one you are already familiar and comfortble with.

In the book, some caledar options discussed include:

• Outlook or Google work calendar and personal calendar displayed together. 
• An Outlook work caledar with a Google personal calendar opened in a separate url, but easy to refer to.
• An Outlook or Google work calendar and paper personal calendar open and easy to refer to. 

Here are links to online tutorials:
