Google Calendar App Updated With New Goals Feature [Video]

Google has announced a new Goals feature for its Calendar app that helps you find the time to reach your personal goals.

With all the things you need to do in a given week, it’s probably harder than ever to find the time—even when your goal really matters to you. That’s why starting today, we’re introducing Goals in Google Calendar. Just add a personal goal—like “run 3 times a week”—and Calendar will help you find the time and stick to it.




Here's the highlights...

Goals are easy to set up
To set a goal (like “Work out more”), simply answer a few questions (like “How often?” and “Best time?”), and you’re all set. From there Calendar will look at your schedule and find the best windows to pencil in time for that goal.


Goals adjust to your busy life
Calendar can help you adjust in a number of important ways. For example, Calendar will automatically reschedule if you add another event that's a direct conflict with a goal.


You can also defer a goal at any time, and Calendar will make time for it later.



Finally, Calendar actually gets better at scheduling the more you use it—just defer, edit or complete your goals like normal, and Calendar will choose even better times in the future.

You can download Google Calendar from the App Store.
