Digital calendars are not designed to help us respect people's time. They are time-record systems rather than time-intelligence systems.

My calendar doesn’t help me make better decisions about how to use my time.

The calendar isn’t connected to my email, to-do list or project management tool, and it’s making it harder to collaborate and keep track of what’s going on.

Putting the tasks in my calendar is a never-ending task in itself.

It sometimes feels like I need to take a break from distractions, not from work.

I should be able to launch the right apps from the calendar interface - zoom, task management, etc’.

Why can’t I snooze an event or a task like I do with emails? Why doesn’t a snoozed email show up on my calendar like a task?

It’s impossible to blend work/life in the same calendar in a seamless way.

When people see an ‘empty’ space they assume it means I’m free.

Certain times are better for certain tasks (commute for catching up) but my calendar can’t consolidate them and the interface gets messy when I overlay tasks on one another.

My calendar is one of the most important tools, but it’s by far the least sophisticated and advanced.

I’d rather edit a suggested schedule based on my tasks and habits than create one from scratch.

Meetings aren’t categorized by topics / attendees / types, which makes understanding trends and workflows harder than it should be.

A calendar shouldn’t feel like a place for someone else’s agenda.

I have too many apps to manage my time, day and output, but none give me a complete solution.

Calendars manage time, but not energy, which leaves me overworked, overbooked and in a sometimes too tired to enjoy my time off.

The demand on my time is bigger than ever and it’s getting harder to focus on the most important tasks.

There got to be a better way to share events without inviting people.

My calendar makes it hard to coordinate across timezone.

My calendar doesn’t reflect my availability on other platforms even though they are ‘connected’

Shared calendars make it easy for people to ‘grab’ someone else’s time, and it’s hard saying ‘no’.

Some meetings are useless, others are badly planned, and some get cancelled last minute - my calendar should know what to do about them instead of letting me do all the work.

Templates. We use them everywhere, why not in meetings?

If it’s not on the calendar, it won’t happen, but if it’s in the calendar, it doesn’t mean it will.

Things often take more time than allocated, and I find myself ‘borrowing’ time from other events to complete - it’s planning fallacy on a daily basis.

The traditional calendar view is only effective for the single user - it doesn’t work well in a team setting.

✅ Success!
