Works with the calendar you already keep — Google, Outlook or anything speaking iCal. Nothing to migrate.
Resolved against the interviewer’s location rather than yours. The 9am that was really 9am Pacific stops being a story you tell later.
A clash is flagged while rescheduling is still a polite email, not on the morning it happens.
Offer times that are genuinely free, including the prep you have already committed to. No six-message negotiation.
A system design round on Thursday puts two hours in your Monday and Tuesday. Booked, not suggested.
The block is not empty. It opens the module that covers exactly what that round tests.
Each event carries a short note: what the round is for, how long it runs, and the mistake most candidates make in it.
A reminder with the company, the round, the interviewer if you know them, and the two things you said you wanted to revise.
Nobody needs a sixth place to look. Everything is written into the calendar you already open in the morning, as ordinary events you can move, delete or ignore.
If you cancel a prep block it stays cancelled. The calendar does not re-add it, nag about it, or tell anyone — it is a tool, not a coach with opinions.
Time, joining link, interviewer, and which stage of the loop this is.
Sized to the round — two hours before system design, thirty minutes before a recruiter screen.
Linked from the block, so preparing does not begin with deciding what to prepare.
Fifteen minutes immediately afterwards, while you still remember what was asked.
A reminder to send the thank-you note, and a later one when a recruiter has gone quiet.
Offer deadlines and take-home due dates, counted down rather than remembered.
The most expensive small mistake in interviewing
Intending to revise is not revising
Silence is not the same as rejection
