How to Organize Your Time on an iTouch

Most see Apple's iPod Touch as a device for entertainment. However, with applications that come on the device, your iTouch can also aid in productivity. If you are interested in planning and implementing a more efficient schedule for work or home use, iPod Touch's iCal application can help you organize your time and sync your schedule on your computer.

• 1

  Turn on your iTouch and tap the "iCal" icon on the main menu screen. The calender will open to the current month, with options to view your calender as a list, by day or by month at the bottom of the screen.

• 2

  Tap the "+" button in the top-right corner. Tap "Title and Location," then use the touch keypad to type in a name and place for an event, such as "Brunch with the Ryans" at "Ham and Eggs Restaurant." Tap "Done."

• 3

  Tap the "Starts and Ends" field and use the scroll wheel to enter a date and time for your event. If this is a regular event, like soccer practice, tap "Repeat" and select how often you would like the event repeated (every day, week, two weeks, month or year).

• 4

  Tap "Alert" to set an alarm that will remind you of your event and help you stay organized. The event can be set from anywhere from five minutes to two days before the actual event.

• 5

  Tap "Done" when you are finished. The events you add will appear as dots on the appropriate days on your calendar.
