It’s easy to find excuses not to exercise, complete a course or clean up the garage. We all procrastinate and busy schedules cause us to neglect tasks\u00a0we need, and also want, to do.<\/p>\n
Calendar Goals<\/a><\/em> was developed by Google to be our cheerleader\u00a0and personal assistant.<\/p>\n The software uses machine learning to help you allocate time on your Google Calendar to complete your chosen goals, whether it’s an exercise regime or merely spending more time reading. Goals<\/em> pinpoints gaps in your schedule fit your needs.\u00a0<\/p>\n To use Calendar Goals<\/em>, you need to be a Gmail user and use the Calendar app.\u00a0After adding\u00a0“Goal”, Google will ask you a few questions to establish what you want to do and which times of day would suit your best.<\/p>\n It has options, like\u00a0Exercise, Build a Skill and Me Time, \u00a0available, but you can also add your own. After entering your information, you can leave it to Google to schedule a few time slots and remind you to keep to them.<\/p>\n If it happens that something else is scheduled during Google’s suggested times, it will allocate another time and keep trying until it suits you. Of course, if you are a serial procrastinator, you will find a way around this, but the software will try its best to make it difficult for you to do so.\u00a0<\/p>\n How to use Google Calendar Goals on Android and iOS<\/a><\/p>\n The new feature is available from this week for users on Android and iPhone, but not yet for the web-based Gmail calendar.<\/p>\n Google Calendar<\/a> | Google Play Store via Google Blog<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n [SOURCES:\u00a0http:\/\/gadgets.ndtv.com<\/a>,\u00a0http:\/\/techcrunch.com<\/a>,\u00a0http:\/\/www.idigitaltimes.com<\/a>]<\/p>\n [:af]<\/p>\n Dis maklik om redes uit te dink om nie te oefen, jou studies\u00a0te voltooi of die motorhuis reg te pak nie. Ons stel graag uit en gebruik tyd as \u0149 verskoning om dit\u00a0wat ons moet en soms ook wil doen, af te skeep.<\/p>\n Google het Calendar Goals<\/a><\/em> ontwikkel om ons persoonlike assistent en rasieleier\u00a0te wees.<\/p>\n Deur middel van sy masjienleervermoe\u00eb bepaal die sagteware waar op jou Google kalender jy tyd kan afknyp\u00a0om jou doelwitte te bereik. Of dit nou oefening is of net meer tyd om te lees. Dit wys uit waar gapings in jou skedule is wat\u00a0jou behoeftes sal vervul.<\/p>\n Om\u00a0Calendar Goals\u00a0<\/em>te gebruik, moet jy \u0149 Gmail-gebruiker wees en die kalendertoepassing gebruik. Voeg net jou “Goal” by en Google sal vir jou \u0149 paar vrae vra om vas te stel wat jy wil doen en watter tye jou die beste sal pas.<\/p>\n Daar is \u00a0\u0149 paar opsies beskikbaar soos\u00a0Exercise<\/em>, Build a Skill<\/em> en\u00a0Me Time<\/em>, maar jy kan jou eie byvoeg. Daarna kan jy dit aan Google oorlaat om tydgleuwe te skeduleer en gereeld daaraan te herinner.<\/p>\n Indien dit gebeur dat \u0149 ander afspraak skeduleer word in die voorgestelde tye, sal Google dit aanskuif na \u0149 volgende beskikbare tyd. As jy \u0149 chroniese uitsteller is, sal jy natuurlik maniere kry om Goals<\/em> te omseil, maar die sagteware sal probeer om dit vir jou moeilik te maak.\u00a0<\/p>\n Hoe om Google Calendar Goals<\/em> op Android en iOS te gebruik<\/a>.<\/p>\n Di\u00e9 nuwe funksie is die week beskikbaar op Android en iPhone, maar nog nie op die webgebaseerde Gmail kalender nie.<\/p>\n Google Calendar<\/a> | Google Play Store via Google Blog<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n [BRONNE: http:\/\/gadgets.ndtv.com<\/a>,\u00a0http:\/\/techcrunch.com<\/a>,\u00a0http:\/\/www.idigitaltimes.com<\/a>]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [:en] It’s easy to find excuses not to exercise, complete a course or clean up the garage.
