  Productivity Tip! Tell iCal to automatically add Facebook Events into your Calendar.

  Facebook events, we all get them. While some of them may be rubbish, such as a terrible show or a strange ghetto party; others may be highly interesting. Of course we want an easier way to manage our insane social lives, Facebook has a hidden feature for that; exporting out to our social calendars. If you have mobile devices, such as an iPhone, your iCloud will automatically be updates. Awesome!

  Here’s how you achieve this.

  1) Click on your events tab on the left hand side.

  2) When you scroll all the way down, there will be an option that says “Export.”

  3) After clicking on that, a pop up will appear giving you a link. Clicking on that link will automatically set up a subscribed calendar on your platform of choice.

  4) Enjoy automatic updates and all of that jazz.

  I stumbled across this on accident and it has led to organizational bliss. Hope you enjoy it.
