For those of us who are not tech savvy. It would be a nice thing to have tech how-to's to hover over for directions.

Check out SkedPal. It does this sort of auto scheduling work. A combo of Simpleology + Skedpal would be awesome.

Needs to have realtime sync with Apple Cal. Such that when I schedule an event in Simpleology it will instantly sync with my primary iCal across all devices. Thanks. This way I can also use my calendar of choice on a Mac with is (Fantastical2).

PS. IMHO: Google already has enough personal data -- they don't need to see what people are scheduling as well.

I'd love this too. I use Google Calendar but it would be so much better to be able to keep a calendar right in Simpleology.

Has this been considered by the powers that be at Simpleology? GREAT IDEA! I too would love the simplicity of a calendar integrated w/ simpleology. Going to a 3rd party website really takes up time.

I use none of the calendars selected. Never have. None of them have squares big enough to hold the detail that I want to include with each task. That's what my paper diary is for.

What can be done with Simpleology is to make an entry in dream catcher. Attach a reminder date to it. And it will show up in the daily to do tasks. On the day the reminder is set for.

What you can't do in Simpleology is have a calendar with all the entries for each month. Logged into the appropriate day. So you can see if you're in task overload.

That. To me. Should be a prime feature of Simpleology. Not asking us to go to a third party. But allowing us to see - at a glance - if what we're scheduling is achievable in the long term.

Everything all in one place. It's a simple solution. ~Carol❤

And/or meanwhile improve Outlook integration

I think a button to link to your preferred calendar would be a sufficient time saver rather than having to load the calendar from a new tab, etc.

While having a calendar is good, i feel that simpleology already have these features in other places such as google calendar. I do not want to have to refer to another calendar on top of the calendars i already have. This takes away from the "simple" of simpleology.

If there's something i have to do today at a specific time, i set the alarm within my phone and/or set it in google calendar. Simpleology just reminds me that i have something, and so i use that to set my alarms.

I have alarms in my phone/calendar for everything and the "recurring tasks" portion is a good reminder along with the labels of things you can setup without there being a calendar.

All of the pieces are already here...just have to use them accordingly

I like tha gannt chart idea. I don't need a traditional calendar in Simpleology. I can use the Schedule It option to put a task on my Outlook or Google calendars. I don't need to see the item again in Simpleology once its on my calendar. Plus, the option to Deliberate on a task allows me to set reminders and effectively schedule it for later without looking at it repeatedly until its time to get it done.

Love the idea of scheduling but a time killer to schedule tasks daily if I have to go back and forth between my Google calendar and Simpleology dashboard

Yes I love this idea. Just add the option to use a Simpleology calendar while also keeping the other options. Brilliant!

excellent!

Simpleology is great at what it does - I fear trying to make it do everything will water down the core features. (I don't want Simpleology to be my grocery app nor my calendar nor my running app - I want Simpleology to help me stay focused on and to achieve my goals - that's what it's good at)

I doubt that I would use an additional calendar and I'm not sure that I want scheduled calendar items to show up as targets - that seems redundant to me.

I don't consider a meeting a "target" - meeting prep would be a target that I need to hit to get ready for the meeting.

I don't consider a dentist appt a 'target' - it's an appointment. Scheduling that appt. is a target.

Hope that makes sense...

I do like the idea of being able to see my schedule for the day when I start my day and throughout the day... but I just keep my Google calendar open for the moment.

Perhaps an integration to allow us to add a widget to our Simpleology dashboard? This would allow the ability to see your preferred calendar app along side your daily targets... :)

Totally agree. Simpleology should own the STANDARD for productive calendar planners.

Instead of a calendar per se, I wish there would be a Gantt chart. I really love the one in Wrike, and would be willing to pay a bit for it, but can't afford it on their pricing plan. Figuring out which task is prior to which other task is crucial for me. It would also help provide some structure to what looks like the very disorganized tasklists in Simpleology.

[Just FYI, Asana just recently released calendaring in their app]

I think it is important for Simpleology to focus on features that are NOT AVAILABLE elsewhere. If the development efforts get bogged down duplicating a calendar, which is readily available many other places, we will get fewer tools to benefit the CORE of Simpleology. Not saying that a calendar is in itself a bad idea - only that it would cost us all in terms of other features not being built.

i agree. Some tasks i want to do on a certain day, but I don't want to block a time slot on my real calendar until i get to that day. Also want a way to say 'when' during a day i want to do a task, or "postpone" it for a few hours

I use Outlook all day and unfortunately never push calendar entries out of Simpleology to Outlook, simply because of the warning that once you do, it disappears from Simpleology. If the goal of Simpleology is to be the "trusted system", so our minds don't have to be, IMO it needs to allow for "closed-loop" tracking of calendar, or at the least time-specific entries. It seems a Simpleology calendar, that also supports industry standard sync protocols, would be best, so while the online system could "push" entries into either Outlook, Gmail Calendar, iCal, etc, it would also be able to "retain" those entries within Simpleology. At that point perhaps the workflow could be augmented to mark them as Completed or not, and if not, then rescheduled, deleted, delegated, etc.
