change default reminder time

I, like many of my co-workers I suppose, are attached at the hip to my Exchange calendar. And in today's world of smartphones and always being connected one thing it true. My phone is basically wiggling every 10 minutes to tell me something.

Looking in the past I have found a few trick that have made my life simpler, for example I don't look at work email on my phone, EVER. It is bliss. And I find myself so much less distracted when I'm in a meeting for example.

My schedule is typically full of 1-hour back-to-back meetings for most of my work days. During a meeting I am notified 3 times that I need to leave for the next meeting (the default reminder time in Exchange). Well this simple little gem will reduce my pocket wiggle (and subsequent ghost pocket wiggles) by a quarter. Now hopefully I won't dismiss the notifications and actually show up on time to meetings... Enjoy!
