The calendar feature in Outlook is undoubtedly the central planning tool that many people use to organize their entire workday. However, it can just as easily be used for private appointments.

## How to create a new calendar:

-   Open the main Outlook window.
-   Click **Calendar** at the bottom left to switch to the calendar pane.
-   Right-click the displayed calendar.
-   Select **New Calendar**.

The **Create New Folder** window opens:

-   Enter a name for your calendar in the **Name:** text field.
-   Make sure that under **Folders contains items of type:** the type **Calendar** is selected.
-   Click **OK**.

The new calendar appears in the calendar list. You can now work with the new calendar just as you did with the previous one, and of course switch back and forth between the two calendars.
