    Just a quick update for those searching for Goals on their calendar... the goal function was removed by Google since Nov 2022.

    This is such an awesome video! I have been using Google calendar for years, and this taught me things I didn't know about. The goals feature is so useful, as it's more powerful than a simple "habit tracker" because it schedules the activity for you. I am excited to boost my productivity, thank you!
