How to use Google Calendar with Daylo for calmer weekly planning

Google Calendar is often where commitments begin: meetings, appointments, invites, and personal events. A more useful planning workflow starts by treating those events as the fixed shape of the week, then adding the work and recovery time needed to make the commitments sustainable.

Start with the real week

• Connect the calendar you already rely on and review the next seven days before adding new work.
• Reserve focus blocks around commitments instead of creating a separate task plan that ignores your availability.
• Add buffers around meetings that require preparation, travel, or recovery.
• Review at the same time each week and move work deliberately when capacity changes.

The goal is not to fill every opening. A calendar becomes more useful when it makes tradeoffs visible early: which work needs a protected block, which invite needs a different time, and what can wait until next week.
