My Calendy is a scheduling tool that aims to help users organize their tasks based on their cognitive rhythms. By considering factors such as time of day, individual chronotypes, and sleep patterns, My Calendy attempts to create schedules that align with users' cognitive strengths throughout the day.
Recent research has shown that cognitive performance can vary throughout the day. A study by Tommasi et al. (2024) found that productivity fluctuates based on the type of cognitive task and an individual's biological rhythm[1].
Chronotypes refer to individual differences in sleep-wake cycles and preferences for morning or evening activity. Research indicates that chronotypes can influence the timing of peak cognitive performance. My Calendy doesn't assume that everyone performs best in the morning or evening, but instead tries to adapt to each user's preferences.[2].
My Calendy attempts to adjust its scheduling suggestions based on various factors that can affect cognitive performance. These include recent sleep history, seasonal changes, and past task performance. The goal is to provide scheduling suggestions that remain relevant even as a user's circumstances change. This approach is based on research showing that cognitive performance can be influenced by various external and internal factors[3].
My Calendy aims to be a helpful tool for personal productivity. By applying findings from cognitive science, the app tries to provide users with schedules that take into account their individual cognitive patterns and preferences.
Whether you're working on analytical tasks, creative projects, or administrative duties, My Calendy attempts to suggest times when you might be more cognitively prepared for each type of work. While individual results may vary, the app's goal is to provide a scheduling approach informed by current scientific understanding of cognitive rhythms.
