Overview

Color-coding events helps you instantly understand where your time goes and distinguish life areas in your calendar. Whether you’re juggling work, family, fitness, or focus time, assigning colors to each calendar and specific events makes your combined view more meaningful at a glance.

Why Use Colors and Tags?

By tagging and color-coding events in Morgen, you can:

  • Instantly see how your time is spent (time in meetings vs deep work vs personal time, etc.)
  • Make more informed decisions when planning your week
  • Spot imbalances, like too many meetings or too little focus time
  • Create a calendar that’s not just functional, but also visually clear and calming
