We have a busy household, and keeping track of everyone’s schedules was becoming a challenge. I wanted a central place where all our commitments could be displayed and updated—something more engaging than a traditional paper calendar. Additionally, I wanted a system to help build accountability for my kids’ homework and keep to-do lists for everyone in the family. My wife had been managing a Google Calendar, but there were still too many moments when someone would ask, “What’s happening next?”—including me! That’s what led me to the idea of building a smart calendar.
