Everyone says they’re busy, but few of us are actually making headway on what’s most important to us. Life feels like it happens to us, instead of like something we’re creating.

Our calendars are failing us.

The traditional month-grid calendar layout (think iCal and Google Calendar) was designed hundreds of years ago to help people plant crops and pay taxes. It can’t distinguish between routine events and the things that are truly important. It can’t easily show events from disparate calendars beside each other, won’t let you share just part of your schedule, and by only showing a single month at a time it lets deadlines sneak up on you.

Most of us see our schedule as a depiction of our bondage. Make it a tool for staking out your freedom.

It’s time.
