Set Goals in Google Calendar - New Feature

alright there Jamie Keith here tonight a teacher's Tek hope everyone's having a fantastic night tonight we're gonna take a quick look at Google's Google calendars new app feature which is where you can let it set goals for you so let's do a quick little walkthrough here tonight so I'm using an Android device here and

I read a few comments on this update that some people are having difficulties with their iOS maybe the updates weren't there yet but on my Android device it's working fine here so I'm just gonna click on the plus red plus in the bottom right hand corner in dinner you can see the goal flag there so I'm just gonna

click on that and this kind of tells you what your category you want to set your goal in you know is it an exercise goal or is it a do you want to build a skill like you want to learn to code or learn a new language do you want to connect more with families or your family and friends do you want more me time do you want to organize your life better I'm just going to give an example here today with the exercise one so I'm just gonna

click on exercise here and you can see where you have a choice of workout run walk or do yoga but you can customize this also you can do more you can see a longer list rate there too so I'm just gonna go back and I'm just gonna choose workout here for the first one and then

you're prompted with how many times a week would you like to workout and I'll just pick three times for my example here and I'll put one hour and I'm gonna

say in the afternoon and I can customize this a little bit more here I'm gonna change my color here I'm gonna just change the graph I hit save hit the checkmark here and so what it's gonna do now it's gonna match my schedule with this where they think the best time is where it will fit in so it will find the

opening own fittings and kind of squeeze it into there so you can see where it says work out there in the graphite color it found a spot right in between so you can see that's on tomorrow's April 16th and then if I kind of scroll through a few days they put it through in the 19th to so it's pretty easy on my calendar here I don't use this one to schedule many things here so they were able to put it anywhere else but if you have a busy schedule it will find the open areas for you to put it in and you can defer these two so if you

get to it and also you can't if you don't feel like it or if something comes up you can just hit defer and what's gonna happen is it will move it to a different day for you here so I'm just gonna go over to my next day and I'm just gonna refresh my screen here and it should pop open here I was it was moving slow a little bit before but there you go yeah I have a workout there so I moved it from the Saturday to the Sunday here the

other thing you can do if you have a busy schedule of last-minute things will come up it will move it to a different time to accommodate your schedule also too if you need to get rid of it just

click on it and you can see rate up the top hit the litt three little dots and then you can hit delete so you can get rid of the session or them all so if I click if I wanted to get rid of them all

I would click that and then they're gone so that's just a little walkthrough of this new feature remember this is on your app not on your Google Calendar part these events do show up in your Google Calendar and you can edit them from there but the power of this is through the app is how it's going through your calendar and finding those opening openings to kind of squeeze in this stuff this won't go into your this same thing won't happen through your web-based one so I hope you like this little kind of walkthrough of the new feature here if you did please share it with a few people and remember I do weekly tech tips and if you're interested please subscribe to my channel I'll talk to you next week
