Abstract
Acclimatizing a user to a scheduling pattern change includes: in a calendar system implemented by at least one processor, determining an anticipated scheduling pattern change for the user; establishing with the calendar system an acclimatization period to transition the user to the scheduling pattern change; receiving in the calendar system a request to schedule an event for the user at a time within the acclimatization period; and prompting the user to reschedule the event to a time outside of the acclimatization period with the calendar system.
Claims20
A method of acclimatizing a user to a scheduling pattern change, comprising:
- in a calendar system implemented by at least one processor, determining an anticipated scheduling pattern change for said user;
- establishing with said calendar system an acclimatization period to transition said user to said scheduling pattern change;
- receiving in said calendar system a request to schedule an event for said user at a time within said acclimatization period;
- and
- prompting said user to reschedule said event to a time outside of said acclimatization period with said calendar system.
A method of acclimatizing a user to a scheduling pattern change, comprising:
- in a calendar system implemented by at least one processor, determining an anticipated scheduling pattern change for said user;
- establishing with said calendar system an acclimatization period to transition said user to said scheduling pattern change;
- determining that an event scheduled for said user falls within said acclimatization period;
- and
- determining whether to prompt said user to reschedule said event to a time outside of said acclimatization period based on at least one attribute associated with said event.
A computer program product for acclimatizing a user to a scheduling pattern change, said computer program product comprising:
- a tangible computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, said computer readable program code comprising:
- computer readable program code configured to determine an anticipated scheduling pattern change for said user;
- computer readable program code configured to establish an acclimatization period to transition said user to said scheduling pattern change;
- computer readable program code configured to receive a request to schedule an event in a calendar for said user at a time within said acclimatization period;
- and
- computer readable program code configured to prompt said user to reschedule said event to a time outside of said acclimatization period.
