T

hose regularly using the Google Calendar can rejoice as the tech giant has added a new feature that allows you to set a personal goal and let it help you find the time to stick to it.

For instance, after setting a goal to "read a book", you will then need to answer a few simple questions ("how often?", "best time?") and then you are good to go. The calendar will look up your schedule and updated it accordingly to that particular goal. It can also do an automatic reschedule if you later add a new event that is conflicting with that goal.

"[Google] Calendar actually gets better at scheduling the more you use it—just defer, edit or complete your goals like normal, and [Google] Calendar will choose even better times in the future," stated Google in a press release

For those who have not tried the application yet, you can start by downloading it on your smartphone; available for Android and iOS. 

Take a peek at the app's official video below. (kes)
