What began as a personal side project has now grown into something I'm excited to share with you. My Calendy started with a simple goal: taking back control of my schedule. First, I wasn't capturing all of my mental ability just by scheduling tasks in the next available slot, when it felt convenient, or when others chose my appointments for me. Second, no matter how productive I was that day, it usually felt as if there was untapped potential left behind and I wanted to capture it.
So, I started looking into cognitive abilities and learned they fluctuate throughout the day and knew I could benefit from this new knowledge. I also learned about project management, how diverse and specific it is, but more importantly, how beneficial a custom project management plan can be. I wanted a way to combine cognitive ability planning with project management, so I started building My Calendy for myself, but over time came to realize that it can help everyone achieve peak productivity every day.
Getting started with My Calendy is simple:
Cally is your personal productivity assistant that adapts to your sleep, energy levels, and daily rhythms in real time. Cally combines these insights with scientific research on cognitive performance and project management to help you plan your day effectively. By aligning tasks with your mental peaks and valleys, Cally ensures you work smarter, not harder.
Cally isn't just about managing tasks — she can help you plan entire projects with ease. Input your project and what you want to accomplish and Cally will analyze your calendar, which project management style fits your project best, and your cognitive patterns to create a custom schedule. Cally breaks the project into manageable tasks, making sure each session is aligned with the times you're most productive for. Once your schedule is ready, you can easily edit individual task descriptions and times, and with just one click, you can add all of the tasks to your Google calendar.
Reduce decision fatigue - Stop wondering when to tackle each task. My Calendy suggests the best times based on your natural mental patterns and your schedules open availability.
Project Management Efficiency - Get a schedule that not only defines your projects tasks, but that smoothly transitions you through them.
Better workload balance - Spread your tasks throughout the day based on when you're best equipped to handle them, ensuring steady progress.
Our future updates will introduce new features like multi-task scheduling and project progress tracking. You'll be able to manage multiple projects while Cally maps out priorities and helps you plan your next steps — keeping you ahead of your schedule and focused on your goals.
We're also enhancing Cally with smart rescheduling capabilities to handle lifes unexpected surprises. When your day doesn't go as planned, Cally will analyze your remaining tasks and suggest the best way to reorganize them. She will consider deadlines, task types, and your cognitive timeline giving you a revised schedule keeping you on track.
We also plan to create a Team mode where multiple members from around the globe can contribute to a project with Cally planning the tasks and tracking progress based on inputs from the team throughout the projects duration. This will capture time differences along with unique contribution expectations creating an updated project plan in real time ensuring its completion for the given scope and due date.
