Google Calendar Adds Productivity Features Without the Fuss

The company, Google, has launched an innovative update for Google Calendar, allowing users to allocate time for their tasks without the need to create fictional meetings. Previously, users have requested developers for the launch of such functionality.

In fact, tasks can be transformed into meetings, including the ability to set (and adjust) specific time intervals, enable the “Do Not Disturb” mode, and automatically decline meeting requests. It is also possible to set deadlines for such tasks. The limitation is that only the date can be specified, without specifying the time. Changes are gradually being implemented by Google for all corporate and personal Gmail account users.

In response to this development, competitors like Microsoft have been enhancing their Outlook Calendar with AI-powered scheduling recommendations to offer a more personalized user experience. Meanwhile, Apple’s Calendar on iOS has become more integrated with Siri, allowing users to set tasks and reminders more intuitively through voice commands.

As of today, these advancements emphasize the evolving role of digital calendars as multifunctional tools aimed at enhancing productivity and organization, seamlessly fitting into both corporate environments and personal settings.
