There needs to be a clear way to differentiate active tasks (what I’m doing) from oversight responsibilities (what I’m coordinating) within the calendar - especially when multiple things are happening at once. Eg. cooking dinner while also keeping my kids on track with their evening routines.
Without that distinction, everything carries the same cognitive weight, making it harder to prioritise, plan, and stay on top of competing demands.
While we’re all looking for tools that simplify, the reality is that for many of us, managing multiple threads at once isn’t optional - it’s daily life. A clear visual separation acknowledges that reality - reducing mental load, improving in the moment decision making, and allowing the app to truly support (and not amplify) the complexity it’s meant to manage.
