Why this helps

Calendar overload makes it hard to see how much practical room remains for goal progress.

  • Understand the commitments near important deadlines.
  • Plan realistic goal sessions around existing events.
  • Get a concise review without opening each calendar event.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Beeminder and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
  • 3Describe the goal window and the commitments you want summarized in one instruction.
  • 4Choose the recurring schedule trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real goal window and confirm the summary.
