What is a calendar app?
A calendar answers when, not what. It is excellent for things that happen at a specific time, like a meeting or a flight, and poor at work that needs to happen eventually but has no fixed slot.
What matters here
- Events with a start and an end
- A day, week and month view
- Reminders before something begins
- Sharing so other people see the same plan
- A clear picture of what is already committed
What belongs on a calendar
Anything with a real time and other people involved. A dentist appointment belongs there. A task called tidy the desk does not, unless you genuinely decide to do it at three o'clock.
The gap calendars leave
A calendar shows commitments but not the work between them. That is why people put tasks on a calendar and then feel guilty when a meeting eats the slot. The two need to sit next to each other, not replace each other.
Sharing and visibility
A shared calendar is one of the few genuinely solved coordination tools. The failure mode is a calendar so full that nobody trusts it, which usually means every tentative idea was added as an event.
