One of the most powerful capabilities of Reclaim Priorities is that you can also prioritize non-Reclaim created events on your calendar - like an internal team meeting or a recurring standup created in Google Calendar, for example - to offer up maximum availability for important meetings via your Scheduling Links.

Let's take a look at how you can leverage Priorities for non-Reclaim events.

With Reclaim Priorities, you can set everything on your calendar to a Critical (P1) to Low-priority (P4) level. This includes your Reclaim smart events (like Habits, Tasks, Smart 1:1s, and Scheduling Links), as well as non-Reclaim created events that were created in Google Calendar. You can learn more about how Reclaim's prioritization system works in the Priorities overview doc.

While being able to adjust the priority level on your non-Reclaim events is a powerful capability, of course you want to ensure that your events like important team meetings in Google Calendar aren't at risk of being overscheduled. We get that.

Unless you go into a non-Reclaim event from the Reclaim Planner and manually adjust its priority level, those events will never be overbooked unless you explicitly want them to be.

If you do choose to manually turn down the priority of a non-Reclaim event – that events can only ever be overbooked by a higher-priority Scheduling Link, which will show that time as available.

Non-Reclaim events will never be overscheduled by Habits, Tasks, or Smart 1:1s, regardless of their priority. You can learn more about how Priorities work for Scheduling Links in this doc.

To set the priority of your non-Reclaim events, navigate to your Planner and click on an event you want to adjust a priority level for on the calendar. Click the 'bar' icon 📶 in the top right of the right-hand sidebar to adjust the priority level.

Only turn down the priority level for events you’d be comfortable overbooking with a higher-priority Scheduling Link.

You can set the priority for a single non-Reclaim event instance, as well as for all events in a recurring series. After you manually adjust the priority level of a recurring non-Reclaim event, Reclaim will ask you to confirm if this is for the one-time event or all events in the series.

If you have non-Reclaim created events on your primary calendar that have been copied via Calendar Sync or otherwise connected calendars, those events will automatically be set as Critical (P1) priority.
