Managing Habit events on your calendar

How to reschedule, skip, and otherwise manage Habit events on your calendar.

Updated over a week ago

Habits automatically schedule on your calendar, but sometimes you might want to make on-the-fly changes to let Reclaim know you've got other plans. This doc will cover the most common actions you'll want to take on Habit events to manage them on your schedule.

There are a several actions you can take on your Habit events from the Planner and in your native calendar:

  • Lock/unlock

  • Skip

  • Snooze

  • Reschedule

Rescheduling Habit events

Habits can be rescheduled in a couple different ways:

Reschedule Habits via the "Reschedule" action

You can automatically reschedule a Habit to another time during the same day by using the Reschedule option in the Google Calendar Add-on, the Slack integration, or the Planner.

Anywhere you see the Reschedule option, you can click it and you'll be presented with several options:

Rescheduling by manually dragging Habit events

You can also drag a Habit event to another day or time on your calendar or the Planner, and it will lock in place. This will prevent it from moving again.

Rescheduling Habits in Outlook and Google Calendar

To reschedule a Habit event in your native calendar, you can simply delete the event from the calendar and Reclaim will skip it for that day only and attempt to reschedule on another day.
​


Skipping Habit events

Habits can be skipped for the day in two different ways.

Skip Habits using the "Skip" action

You can also skip a Habit for a specific day by using the Skip option in the Google Calendar Add-on, the Slack integration, or the Planner.

For more granular options on skipping, snoozing, and fine-tuned rescheduling: click the "source" link or "created by Reclaim" link on your calendar event to navigate to Reclaim's Planner to take more actions.


Log past work on Habits

If you spent time on a Habit that wasn't scheduled by Reclaim, you can log that work in the past to keep your calendar up to date.

  1. Click into any day/time in the past or drag-to-create a block.

  2. Select which Habit or Task you worked on.

  3. Hit 'Log work' to track the time.
