Hello and welcome to another episode of App Stories. I'm John Vorhees and with me.

This Federico Vittici. Hey, Federico. Hello, John. How are you? I'm doing great today, doing really well. I thought, you know, today we've got a special topic.

We're going to do another category of apps. Today, we're going to talk about calendars.

Ah, my favorite. Okay.

Yes, yes. Calenders is an interesting category for us. I mean, I think that maybe some context is in order.

Because a lot of people we know, we know a lot of listeners have packed schedules full of all sorts of meetings, you know, back-to-back meetings all day long, five days a week when they're working.

That is not us.

So now, while we are aware of that and we will try to keep that in mind as we talk through

these apps, the reality is that Federico and I have, we do have things on our schedule.

We have, you know, podcast recordings three or four times a week.

We've got occasionally we have meetings with each other or with others on the team or, or, you know, podcast recordings three or four times a week. We've got, occasionally, we have

meetings with each other or with others on the team or, or, you know, with a PR company or

something like that. But for the most part, we have pretty open schedules, I'd say. Isn't that right

for you, Federico? I think that's right. We don't have a lot of meetings. I know I do how many four podcasts each week.

Those are like regular events that I have. I share a calendar with my girlfriend and we put like family stuff in the calendar.

Like when we're going to the doctor, when we have appointments, that sort of stuff.

I have never and probably will never follow the practice of time blocking, which I know is very popular with some of our listeners.

We don't, I don't, I guess you also don't, we don't hyper-schedule things like, oh, 50 minutes,

I'm going to go brush my teeth and, you know, comb my hair. Then the next 15 minutes, I'm going to drink some, we don't do that. We don't time block. So if you're looking for time blocking advice, this is another episode. But we do like to try a whole bunch of different kind of apps. We do. We do. And I think one of the things, one of the things that I think is hard about time blocking for what we do is that we have to remain pretty flexible because, you know, news breaks, stuff like that.

At least for me, I find like if I try to say, oh, I'm going to write for the next two hours on this review that I'm doing, inevitably, you know, there'll be like a news release from Apple or something,

and it'll throw my schedule out of whack for the rest of the day,

which I don't know.
