Google Calendar Celebrates 10th Birthday With New Goals Feature

An anonymous reader writes: Google Calendar is now 10 years old. What better way to celebrate than by adding a new goals feature to the service? The new feature lets you set a personal goal in Google Calendar, which will then find time in your schedule so you can achieve your goal. The feature is available for mobile-only users in all countries and languages where Google Calendar works. The goal is dependent on two main questions: "how often?" and "best time?" [Once you answer those questions], it will then find the best time slot in your schedule to pencil in your new goal. Goals will automatically adjust their timing throughout the week. Google Calendar will automatically reschedule if you add another event that's a direct conflict with a given goal. You can even defer a goal at any time, in which case Google Calendar will make time for it later. Using machine learning algorithms, Google Calendar gets better at scheduling the more you use it.
