Google Calendar now helps you to reach your goals

 

It's not long since the Reminders feature arrived in Google Calendar on the web, a few months after it debuted in iOS and Android. Now Google is rolling out another new feature that makes it easier to find time to reach your goals -- whether this is indulging in a hobby a few times a week, or just trying to do some regular exercise.
 
Goals in Google Calendar is not about ticking items off your bucket list, but automating the process of adding reminders to your calendar without having to manually search high and low for the necessary time. Just indicate what you want to do, and how often, and the rest will be taken care of for you. But it gets better...
 
Everyone's plans change. Things crop up, schedules alter. Goals in Google Calendar can help. The feature not only finds empty slots in your day to house your run or yoga sessions, but if you later schedule another event that clashes, it will be automatically moved for you. No more excuses for missing out on a session at the gym!
 
There's an element of learning to Goals as well; the more you use the feature, the better it gets at picking suitable times to schedule events. This is something that is influenced to a certain extent when you elect to manually defer an event. If you keep delaying a reminder first thing in the morning, your calendar will learn that rescheduling later in the day would probably make more sense.

For now, Goals in Google Calendar is available to iOS and Android users, so just make sure you have the latest version of the app installed to make us of the feature.
