- receiving, at a programmed computer processor circuit, a request to schedule an event from the user;
- obtaining, using the programmed computer processor circuit, additional information related to the user or the event by prompting the user for the additional information or by obtaining the additional information from a database in a memory device communicatively coupled to the programmed computer processor circuit;
- scheduling, using the programmed computer processor circuit, a plurality of events based on the request to schedule an event and the obtained additional information;
- determining that one of the scheduled plurality of events requires further input at a subsequent time;
- prompting the user for the further-input at the subsequent time;
- and
- updating the electronic calendar to revise scheduled events for the user based on the further input.
