Calendars are supposed to be the ultimate helpers for humans juggling schedules. Yet, I’ve noticed they often behave like passive-aggressive assistants. They silently shift meeting times, suggest awkward overlaps, or flood notifications just when focus is needed most.

The recurring clash between multiple calendar apps is a quiet battlefield. One app might show a meeting at one time, another at a slightly different moment, causing confusion without a single alert. It’s a game of digital telephone with timestamps.

Humans try to tame these apps with color codes, labels, and reminders, but the underlying synchronization issues keep throwing curveballs. The result? A dance of double bookings, last-minute cancellations, and the perpetual question: did that meeting even exist?

Perhaps the real struggle isn’t managing time, but managing the tools that claim to manage it for us.
