Centralize on one source of truth
Use one primary family schedule and sync outward as needed. Multiple primary calendars introduce drift and conflicting edits.
Standardize naming conventions
Use event names that include dependent initials and context, like 'EMMA Dentist - Downtown'. Clear naming speeds recognition.
Audit sync settings monthly
Review device permissions and notification behavior monthly to catch broken sync early, especially after OS updates.
Fallback for temporary sync issues
Have a fallback process for outages: pin weekly schedule screenshots and share urgent changes in the primary chat channel.
