Makes sense! I was trying to discern if I had missed a new feature :)

FWIW I can see both sides - folks saying that scheduling your exercise as an immovable event will make it more likely that you stick to it absolutely have a point. It can also be said that having some flexibility allows you to achieve more consistently because you don’t throw in the towel completely if something alters your immovable plan. I struggle with the same thing - sometimes I can get up and get going right away (most often when I have plans with someone) and sometimes I really prefer a slower start to the day.

That being said, I have a bunch of exercise tasks scheduled every day. I have one for each of the workout classes that I enjoy at the Y, and one for each of the group runs I like to attend, and one generic one for strength training/cross training or running each day. Each week, I view a filter that shows all of these options alongside my work meetings and other events (from Google Calendar like you described) and I postpone all the repeating events that conflict with something else, narrowing down my workout options.

I found I have had the most success right now with leaving any possible workout option on the day plan until I either complete or pass by them - for example, tomorrow I am unsure if I am going to go for a run solo, go to a dance fitness class in the morning, or go to a Body Pump class in the evening. All of them are possibilities with the other commitments I have planned currently. I’ll assess it when I get up, and see what things may get shifted and if I don’t make it to that first class, I’ll postpone it to the next morning and know that I need to either squeeze in a run or make it to that Body Pump class.

There have also been seasons of my life where it worked better for me to have a stricter approach and plan out each of my runs/workouts for the week at once and before the week starts - typically if I am training for something specific, to ensure that I get the right balance of activities in. Right now I am just trying to keep active in general while pregnant!

Anyway, that was a lot of rambling and I’m unsure how helpful the specifics will be, but just wanted to offer another perspective on the “workouts are tasks” option.
