Summary

Dina Yankelewitz, a manager at Pearson, uses the app automation tool Zapier to automate an automated workflow that sends her a text message one hour before each meeting she has scheduled in Google Calendar, ensuring she always arrives on time and is prepared. This simple change has greatly improved her work-life balance by cutting through background noise of other notifications and allowing her to focus on tasks that require her attention. With Zapier's built-in SMS app, Dina can customize the message and timing to suit her preferences, making it a game-changing tool for managing meetings and improving productivity.
