The meeting is close; the getting there is not
A morning flag for every event where the transition time on your calendar does not match reality
- Runs while your laptop is closed
- Reports in Littlebird and by email
- Free plan includes 5 routines
Two transitions today don't leave enough time to get between locations.
- Lunch with Morgan Lee ends downtown at 1:00 PM, and the design review starts at 1:00 PM at your office across town.
- The Birdseed Brands call ends at 3:30 PM, leaving 15 minutes to reach the Sparrow & Sons site visit across town.
Every other gap today works, since the rest of your meetings are calls.
The problem
Calendars pretend you teleport. A meeting ends at 2:00 across town and the next one starts at 2:00 sharp, and somehow you are the rude one for being late.
The problem is never the meetings. It is the invisible travel time nobody scheduled.
What it does
Every morning, this routine scans today's events and flags the ones where you cannot realistically make the transition: back-to-back meetings in different places, or zero gap between a call and a commute.
You find out at 8am, not at 2:01 when you are apologizing from a sidewalk.
Try the prompt
Copy it into a new Littlebird routine, then set the days and times that fit your schedule
- Open Littlebird and go to Routines. Open the menu next to New Routine and choose Set up manually.
- Paste the prompt into Instructions, then set the days and time under Run.
- Littlebird runs it on schedule from then on. You can pause or edit it anytime. Auto-pause is on by default and pauses it if reports go unread.
You can also choose Create with Littlebird and describe the routine in chat.
Every morning flag any meetings today where I don't have enough transition time between locations
Why make it a routine?
You can fake this with a chat skill and enough copy-paste. Most people keep it up for a week, then stop, because the copy-paste is the actual job.
A routine removes the choreography: the context is already there, the schedule is already set, and the output shows up where you need it.
And it is private by design: SOC 2 Type II, GDPR and CCPA aligned, and your data is never sold.
Frequently asked questions
Does it know where I am?
It uses the locations on your events, not live tracking. If your events have locations, it can reason about the gaps.
Can it block travel time for me?
It flags the problem so you can add the buffer yourself. Your calendar stays under your control.
What is the price after the trial?
Plus is $17 a month ($20 month-to-month) with a 14-day free trial, and every routine comes with it. This routine also runs on the free Basic plan, which includes 5 routines.
Is my location data safe?
Littlebird never sells your data. It is SOC 2 Type II, GDPR and CCPA aligned.
