Any suggestions keeping personal appointments out of activity reports?

If I am not mistaken any appointment on my calendar will be counted toward my monthly sales activity. As a solopreneur, I put all appointments on my calendar. Those that are sales related, appointments with my accountant, family appointments, and other commitments that are not sales related. Is there a way of keeping these types of appointments out of my reports?

I tried using a separate calendar for client meetings but when you have an event you are sharing I found it came through odd on their end

    Hi @Brandon Wood 

    Probably the easiest would be to adjust your calendar sync settings in Pipedrive. You can exclude certain activity types from syncing and with that exclude them from your calendar and reports.

    I am not 100% sure how to do this. I cannot exclude any activities added to my calendar, I can only exclude certain activities in Pipedrive from being entered on my calendar. However, my non-sales appointments are not added from within Pipedrive but added from my calendar application. Maybe you can elaborate?

    Gotcha, in this case you can perhaps add them in a second calendar that you'll see outside of Pipedrive but isn't synced with the tool? In my Google I for example only have the Mike van der Valk calendar synced to Pipedrive but I have multiple calendars available in Google:
