Most people use a “To-Do List” and a “Calendar” separately. This causes conflict because you have 10 hours of work on your list but only 4 hours of free time in your day. This playbook merges them using AI. It forces your calendar to reflect your actual workload by automatically blocking time for your tasks, ensuring you never overcommit again.
Step 1: Sync Your Calendar
Connect the AI to your main work calendar so it knows when you are busy.
- Sign Up: Go to Reclaim.ai and create an account.
- Connect: Authorize it to read/write to your Google Calendar.
- Set “Working Hours”: Define exactly when you work (e.g., 9 AM – 5 PM). The AI is programmed to never schedule tasks outside these hours, protecting your personal time.
