[MakeTimeFlow] NEW! Google Multi-Cals, Anytime Coach + more


Hello MakeTimeFlow member! 👋

I just released the latest MTF update. I'm excited to share that it pulls our last 2 releases together around one idea:

You should see your whole day in MakeTimeFlow, and
MakeTimeFlow should stand beside you while you work it.

Here are the improvements:

  • All your Google calendars: Connect Google and pick which calendars to bring in — your primary stays two-way, and the rest appear as muted, read-only blocks so you can plan around commitments from everywhere.
  • An always-on Flow Coach: Your Focus screen now has a persistent coach panel with time-aware guidance, plus an Ask popover that answers your question in text or voice — without leaving the work.
  • Weekend repeating tasks: Saturday and Sunday checklists join the weekdays, so your weekend routines get the same structure.
  • Quieter rituals: Steps you don't use (waiting-for, comms) now hide themselves automatically.

The thread here is "fit": a fuller picture of your commitments, support right at the moment of work, and rituals that bend toward how you actually live.

How to connect your calendars to MTF? Watch this 1-min video.

Hi Reader, An extra note this week, because this one only works on a Monday. (Your usual letter still comes on Friday.) This week I'm posting one practice a day on LinkedIn on how a cognitive athlete runs a high-performance week. Today's is the one that has made a really big difference for me, and I wanted you to have it while there's still a whole week to use it. Ask a capable person what their plan is for the week and you get one of two answers. They open their calendar, or they show you...

Hi Reader, This week I went to a 110th birthday party. Not for a person but for Troop 6 in Brookline, Massachusetts - a Scout troop that has been meeting, tying knots, burning marshmallows and building character continuously since 1916. I find this almost impossible to believe. Most organizations don’t last a decade. This one has outlasted two world wars, the invention of the internet (and perhaps more challenging - social media) and many, many predictions of its own irrelevance. It has not...

Each week I want to write to you about human flourishing, about your flourishing. Last week the question got much larger with some dire predictions from trusted sources, and they were hard to process and know how to act. On Wednesday last week, Cal Newport sent a surprisingly alarmist email: Anthropic Just Threatened to Kill Billions of People. This Is Not Okay. He followed it with Superintelligence is a Fairy Tale. But Chasing It Can Still Cause Harm, which was the more useful of the two....
