For many of us who work from home, we need to track events for different areas of our lives. Apple’s iCal has a feature which allows this and makes it very easy to do. Recently, the post below from MacTips provided some tips on how to make it even easier to do.

I really enjoy the feature in iCal that allows me to arrange my events into multiple ‘Calendars,’ which each have different colors. Typically, to choose which calendar an event goes into, you just select that calendar from the sidebar and new events will go into there, or you will select the calendar from the Edit pop-up for your event.

A cool alternative way to assign a calendar to an event is by simply dragging-and-dropping it. Select any event and drag it over any of the local calendars in your calendar list, and the event will be reassigned to that calendar! Oddly, iCal does not allow transferring multiple events simultaneously using this method.

Another way to switch an event’s calendar is to Control-Click on it and select Calendar, and then whichever calendar you want it reassigned to. This method works on multiple events if you select more than one by using Command-Click or Shift-Click.
