Task scheduling

Schedule tasks and focus sessions around meetings

Use the Kronos calendar workflow to place tasks and focus sessions around existing calendar events instead of planning work in a separate list.

Calendar context

A synced calendar makes it easier to see meetings, scheduled tasks, and open blocks before deciding where deep work, study, or client work should go.

COMPARISON

How is Kronos different from using Google Calendar alone?

Google Calendar

Google Calendar is strong for meetings and events, but it is not built around focus timers, task execution, or productivity review.

Task app calendar view

A task app calendar view shows tasks on dates, but it may not connect them to focus sessions, project time, and analytics.

Automation connector

An automation connector can move data between apps, but it usually adds workflow setup, rules, and maintenance.

Troubleshooting Google Calendar sync

Google Calendar access is required

If access is missing, grant Google Calendar permission from the Kronos integration settings before enabling sync.

Authorization expired or was revoked

If authorization expires or is revoked, use the Reconnect control in Kronos to restore Google Calendar access.

Initial sync failed

If initial sync fails, use Sync Now or Retry Sync in Kronos, and re-authorize Google Calendar if prompted.

Sync seems delayed

Google Calendar sync timing depends on Google delivery, connection state, and whether realtime sync or polling mode is active.

Pending or error tasks appear

Review the pending and error counts in Kronos sync status, then retry sync after checking that calendar access is still active.

Realtime sync is unavailable and polling mode is shown

Polling mode can appear when realtime sync is unavailable. Kronos can still sync, but updates may not feel instant.

Disable sync keeps existing tasks and projects

Disabling Google Calendar sync stops automatic syncing, but Kronos keeps existing tasks and projects.
