What they did
1) Connect Gmail and Google Calendar in Muse. Use read-only email access where offered and create a separate Kids (Muse) calendar for approved writes. 2) Name the school senders and parent threads that count. Text access requires Android SMS or the Muse Mac app with Messages permissions. 3) Sign in to sportsYou inside Muse's browser; restrict the task to reading team calendars and coach posts. 4) Schedule an 8pm brief covering tomorrow's events, changes, conflicts, and preparation. Require source references and prominent warnings when a source cannot be checked. 5) Read the brief and approve proposed changes to the separate calendar. Keep sending emails, texts, and team posts outside this task.
How it went
The author says his evening review now takes a few minutes and proposed schedule changes arrive daily instead of waiting for a weekly manual review.
Worth knowing
A sportsYou calendar feed is an alternative to a browser login, but it omits coach posts. The article's sample brief uses illustrative events.
