If you have some commitments and obligations you just don’t want to do, you’ll need a decent excuse to get out of them. Got This Thing can fill up your Google calendar with real events around you so you can show people you’re way too busy to do whatever it is they’re asking.
The web app, created by Nat Towsen, Juan Lopez, Sacha Mombartz, Adam Goldstein, and Evan Kaufman pulls data from services like Eventbrite and Kimono Labs to fill your Google Calendar up. All you have to do is go to the Got This Thing app page and hit the Get Busy button.
When you’re ready to clear up your schedule again, just hit the Go Clear button and everything GTT added will disappear. In the settings, you can even set what type of events you want GTT to add so it looks more believable.
They’re a small team and it’s fairly new, so there might still be a few kinks to work out, but mobile app is on the way. Check it out at the link below and start protecting your personal time.
