Time Management Mobile App

It's the perfect business idea for entrepreneurs with planning and technology experience.

Time Management Overview


Problem
People are constantly striving for more time to spend with family and friends but they are busier than ever today. And when they do find some time, it's difficult to match their schedules with those they want to spend time with because everyone is out of sync. Having the ability to manage their time along with every aspect of their life that revolves around it would be invaluable.
Solution
Develop an all-in-one app with a feature called "timelines" that represents different aspects of the person's life. Each timeline would be a module with its own features (e.g. fitness timeline: calorie tracker, meals timeline: meal/grocery manager, social timeline: shared friend calendar, work timeline: meeting manager, finances timeline: budget manager, etc). Timelines can be layered to create a super calendar customized to fit each person's unique lifestyle.
