Do you let other people view details on your calendar?

Question

There's been a bunch of discussion recently about "closed calendar" companies vs "open calendar" ones.

Closed == I can see that you're busy, but not what you're busy for
Open == I can see that you're busy, and I can see what you're busy for

It seems there are lots of pros and cons to either scenario, and then a lot of nuance in-between. I'm curious to get this community's perspective on the matter!

I keep my calendar open. I mean obviously you can’t see the content, but you can see schedule and availability. This is done by calendly app which also allows our customers to directly book time 🚀

@jesse_lempiainen1 Ah, so you keep it to "free / busy" availability only -- technically I think that would be called a "closed calendar". The open calendar world is all about keeping your details public to your coworkers. Thanks for responding!

I take this calmly, most often I have a printed calendar in my room, where I write down important dates. I also want to share a site that I recently found where you can find a good printable calendar: https://printablecalendar.net/ I really like their designs, I'm sure you will like them, I definitely recommend to look here
