Now, where was I?

In case you forget where you should be when, and even why, here are a couple of sites that can help: planzo and meet-o-matic. Meet-o-matic is great for meetings when you are trying to get a group of people to agree a date. It doesn't look very smart but it does work. I've been using it for a couple of years but may not need it now that I've found Planzo. Now this looks awful but you can make it look better quite easily by choosing some better colour combinations than any of the standard sets offered, and it is very very smart in action. If it weren't for all the others sending you Outlook tasks and meeting requests, you could easily do without Outlook now and, of course, as very few of us have Outlook out of the office anyway, it may just be time to try and persuade colleagues to change to Planzo instead. Take a look (and don't get put off by the ghastly colours - you really can improve them later!) It comes from the Frappr stable (where you can see photos and profils of many of the Further Education ILT Champs and other groups) and is also, like most things I recommend, quite free.
