Timezone & delivery tips

  • The scheduler uses your app profile timezone. If you’re in Asia/Kolkata, 8 AM means 8 AM IST.
  • If you travel, update your profile timezone to keep delivery aligned.
  • Prefer morning briefs for prep and Friday PM for weekly reviews.
  • For WhatsApp delivery, also save to Notes for long-term reference.

Best practices

  • Use consistent event titles like Client: CompanyName or Investor: FundName for better cross-referencing with Gmail/JIRA.
  • Keep your calendar descriptions tidy—include agenda bullets; they’ll surface nicely in briefs.
  • Don’t overload the morning brief; aim for scan-able, high-signal summaries.
  • Pair the weekly review with a week-ahead plan to close the loop.
