It seems like just yesterday Google Calendar came out, however, it’s celebrating its 10th birthday today. To help you forget how old you are now, the company has added a new feature to the service. Here are a few things you should know about it.
1. GOOGLE CALENDAR GETS GOAL ORIENTED
Google Calendar is getting older and so are you. As we age and our brains decline in functionality, it may be more difficult to keep our priorities in check. Fortunately, the newest feature helps you set personal goals to keep you on track.
2. SAY GOODBYE TO THE DIRTY WORK
A large part of why we don’t follow our personal goals is because it’s simply a lot of work. Between going to the grocery store, working out or going nuts over Dark Souls 3, it’s not easy to find the time and energy to set goals. Google Calendar’s new feature will do the dirty work, finding time for you to accomplish your objectives. But how?
3. JUST ANSWER TWO QUESTIONS
Google Calendar does a lot on its’ own, but in order to do the aforementioned dirty work for you, it needs a little help. All it takes is an answer to two simple questions. By answering ‘how often?’ and ‘best time?’, the feature will find the best place to pencil in the goal of your choosing. From there, the goals will automatically adjust their timing throughout the week.
4. AUTOMATIC RESCHEDULE
Things change throughout the week, day or even up to the minute. It’s these conflicts than can disrupt meeting your personal goals. Sometimes it’s unavoidable. Say your boss added a last minute meeting at 4:30 pm while you were supposed to meet Gunther for coffee at 5:00. Google Calendar will automatically reschedule if another event is added that disrupts a certain goal.
5. IT WILL ADAPT
Perhaps, one of the most useful aspects of Google Calendar is how it will adapt. This is not just a feature that your fire up and that’s that. The calendar will grow and learn with you. The more you schedule the better the feature can adapt to your ways. So feel free to edit, defer or even complete your goals more frequently. From there, the feature will only improve.
