Humans all have their own biorhythms. Some people like getting up early to win the day and immediately start working. Others hit their stride after a few cups of coffee or are night owls, doing their best production when it's peaceful and quiet.

The challenge is that most people dont know your work style. This leads to co-workers, clients, customers and managers encroaching on times that dont work well for you. Youre put in the uncomfortable position of either accepting a meeting at a time thats annoyingly inconvenient or having to deftly excuse yourself from the request.

Weve all been there. You are in the flow and getting things done. Then, you are hit up with a barrage of interruptions. It's hard to get back to where you were. This daily nuisance is a colossal waste of time and energyand time is the most precious resource. People can always make more money, but they cannot create more time, as it's finite. Unfortunately, it's taken for granted, as if it will last forever.

Clockwise, a time-productivity platform, found a solution to intelligently guarding and managing your workflow. The company is introducing Links, a new and smart scheduling product that changes the way people work and collaborate. Artificial intelligence learns the times that are most convenient for you to interact with people and will block out space on your calendar letting peopleboth within and outside of the organizationknow when you would be available to chat. Conversely, inconvenient times could be blocked out to avoid being roped into a time that is usually reserved for other pressing matters.

The time-management tool, through machine learning, understands how people like to work and when they're most productive. The intuitive product creates blocks of uninterrupted focus time, which, according to CEO and cofounder Matt Martin, is defined as about two hours of uninterrupted productivity that minimizes interruptions and allows you to do your best work the way you want. It also turns preferences into schedules that help people enhance their productivity. With AI, meetings can be arranged to maximize efficient times and fix any conflicts.

Martin points out that employees tend to multitask and send emails in 30% of their meetings. Unnecessary meetings oftentimes conflict with actually getting assignments completed. Absent a sufficient amount of focus time, employees have to prepare for one meeting while stuck in another. This leads to unproductive behaviors, which drag everyone down.

A Links user simply sets their calendar preferences and sends a generated link to their internal or external contacts. Clockwise then takes care of everything. The platform ranks around 10 considerable factors and selects the best times for the invitee to schedule. This results in a time that suits both parties, as the platform automatically syncs across the users calendars instantly. The goal is to obtain the best times to meet without worrying about interruptions.

The tool is perfect for the fast-growing business trends, including the four-day workweek, remote, hybrid, flexible and digital nomad work models. With these work styles, it's imperative to focus on productivity. Additionally, post-pandemic, leadership is concerned about the mental health and emotional well-being of their team members. Constantly being interrupted by people encroaching upon your time makes matters worse, as there is no respite for time bandits.

Martin said about Links, The modern workday is broken, in large part because of the way we schedule meetings. To prevent burnout and improve productivity, we need to be more intentional about the way we spend our time. At Clockwise, we are on a mission to do what calendars cannotmake time for people. Clockwise Links brings a new level of thoughtfulness to scheduling that hasnt existed before, preserving and protecting employees focus time, so they can finally get some meaningful work done.

More than 10,000 organizations use Clockwise, including Netflix, Twitter, Atlassian, Shopify and Asana, to make time for what matters.
