Frequently asked questions
What is a calendar health score?
A numeric assessment of how well your schedule supports your productivity, well-being, and goals. It measures buffer time between events, deep work protection, meeting density, personal time allocation, and schedule flexibility. A high score means your calendar is structured to protect your best work. A low score means it is working against you.
How is this different from a calendar audit?
A calendar audit is a detailed 25-point analysis that takes 10 minutes. The health scorecard is a quick 2-minute diagnostic -- 10 questions that give you an overall score and direction. Think of the scorecard as a screening test and the audit as the full examination. Start with the scorecard; if your score is low, follow up with the audit.
What score should I aim for?
Above 70% indicates a healthy, well-structured calendar. Between 40% and 70% means specific areas are dragging your schedule down. Below 40% suggests structural issues likely costing multiple hours per week. Most self-employed professionals score between 35% and 55% on their first assessment.
Can I improve my score without changing calendar tools?
Yes. Most improvements come from structural changes -- adding buffers between meetings, protecting deep work blocks, batching similar tasks, and blocking personal time. These work in any calendar app. The scorecard identifies which changes will have the most impact for your specific situation.
How often should I check my calendar health?
Monthly. Your schedule drifts over time -- meetings accumulate, buffers get deleted, deep work blocks shrink. A monthly 2-minute check catches these patterns before they become entrenched. If you score below 40%, check weekly until the score improves.
