Automatically block time for your Linear issues in Google Calendar with Reclaim

Overview⁠

Automatically schedule your Linear issues in Google Calendar to defend focus time, prevent interruptions, and protect your calendar from unnecessary meetings. The Reclaim integration finds the best time to schedule your task work around your existing calendar events–by priority and before their due dates–so that your team can get up to 40% more done every week.

How it works⁠

Reclaim's Linear integration automatically finds the best time in your busy schedule for your to-dos based on the priorities, estimates, and due dates set for your issues. Reclaim will schedule flexible time blocks for these to-dos that remain free so that you can still accommodate new appointments, right up until you run out of time before your due date. Then, Reclaim will lock in the time you need for the task so it cannot be overbooked, unless you choose to prioritize another task or calendar event for this time.

All of your Linear issues with estimates, due dates, or cycles automatically sync to your Reclaim task list and get blocked on your calendar. These issues stay in sync with workflow state changes from Linear.

Whether you are a manager responsible for prioritizing work across an entire team, or an individual contributor who needs to defend time for productive work, Reclaim helps create an additional 5.6 hours/week for task work alone (on average). Protect the time you need for work and empower your team to do the same to reach more goals in every sprint. Here's how Reclaim helps busy teams using Linear:

• Auto-block time for you (and your team) to get stuff done
• Get more time for focus time every week
• Hit your sprint goals more often
• Improve your team capacity planning
• Reduce context switching & multitasking
• Prevent interruptions
• Protect your work-life balance
