⚠️ This post contains a rougher cut of my thoughts on the topic and may be updated in the future. Please forgive any mistakes or lack of polish!

the scheduling tango described by Maggie Appleton is so relatable

  • when2meet isn’t perfect and neither are appointment calendars, but they are a step in the right direction i think
  • the only problem is that it may seem too business like to schedule time in this manner
    • is this just a social norm thing that we can get rid of?

is there a social algorithm that we could use?

  • is it more effective to ask people when they are free or when they are not free? and then work from there
  • potential algo:
    • you both send which days you prefer and then find a commonality
    • with the common day, you send which times you prefer and then find a commonality
    • you lock in the day and time that you both agree to
  • if you front load the days and times that you are free the text takes too long
    • but if you space it out over texts, you are then dependent on when the other person responds
