Chetan Bhasin 
Hi! I’m Chetan. I’m founder of BeeLike and today I would like to share with you something that I’ve been working on with a small team for the last few months.
As someone who has struggled managing their time for decades, I have tried various tools out there that help you better manage your time. That includes schedulers, to-do lists, more comprehensive task management tools, and even AI. While they’ve all helped me in one way or another, none of them really helped me manage the overwhelming stress that I’ve felt planning and scheduling my time.
Earlier this year, I was diagnosed with ADHD. This didn’t come as a surprise because multiple doctors had asked me to get diagnosed for it and I have already spent years studying latest trends in adult distractibility research.
The Problem
The short version of our problem statement is that there are too many items on our to-do list, there is not enough time to organize our calendar, schedules keep changing, and not everybody uses the same tools making collaboration hard.
But even if we had a short list of items, many of us find it hard to prioritize things. Many of us simply get overwhelmed knowing everything we have to do, and while we want freedom to do what we want, we would also sometimes rather just someone tell us what to do right now.
And even if we had time to organize our calendars, how many times are we going to keep making changes when somebody gets sick and cannot take that meeting, or a friend invites us to an event that we really, really want to go to but that means rescheduling everything else that we have planned? Are we going to sit down and plan the whole week again because one day got derailed by changed plans? That one day that then derailed the whole week? Not all of us can afford a personal secretary to look after our calendars.
Sure, we could send people meeting links, but wait… or should they send us their meeting links? Do I need now need to create meeting links for everyone and everything? That ought to annoy my friends at some point.
A Different Approach
This is where BeeLike comes in. Instead of trying to force you into yet another rigid system, we’re building something that works the way your brain likes to work. BeeLike combines your calendar and tasks into one intelligent system that adapts to you, not the other way around.
Think of it as having a really smart assistant who:
- Knows when you’re most productive
- Understands that plans change (a lot)
- Helps you decide what to focus on right now
- Takes care of the tedious scheduling stuff
- Clears your day when you’re sick, tired, overwhelmed, or just not interested
But here’s the best part: BeeLike doesn’t just help you manage your time – it helps you enjoy it. By taking care of the nitty-gritty details, it frees you up to focus on what really matters. Whether that’s crushing your work goals, spending quality time with loved ones, or finally pursuing that passion project you’ve been putting off.
The Science Behind It
Remember when I mentioned studying distractibility research? That wasn’t just casual reading. BeeLike is built on solid cognitive science about how people actually manage time and attention. We’ve taken what we know about ADHD, focus patterns, and energy management and turned it into practical features that help everyone work better.
The key insight? The challenges that people with ADHD face aren’t unique—they’re just more pronounced versions of universal human experiences. By solving for these challenges, we’ve created a tool that helps anyone who’s ever felt overwhelmed by their schedule.
How BeeLike Actually Helps
Instead of just giving you another productivity tool, BeeLike actively solves real problems you face every day:
Know Your Now
Ever stare at your to-do list feeling paralyzed about what to tackle first? BeeLike cuts through that confusion. It looks at everything you need to do and tells you what makes sense right now, considering:
- How urgent and important each task is
- What you’ve committed to
- Your current energy and focus
- And yes, even what you feel like doing
Let’s say Mark has so many items on his list that he doesn’t know where to start. Starting at the top probably isn’t the best because… priorities. So he looks at his BeeLike dashboard and it tells him that that 3x postponed item from the last week is really the priority and should be done right now.
Automatic Time Blocking That Actually Works
Time blocking is great in theory, but who has time to manually schedule everything? BeeLike does this heavy lifting for you. It looks at your task lists and automatically creates time blocks in your calendar, making sure you actually have time to get things done. No more hoping you’ll “find time later” for important tasks.
Let’s say Jane is feeling overwhelmed with all the work she needs to do, so she presses a button and BeeLike spreads it over the next two weeks and reserves a slot for her to relax a little.
Adapts When Life Happens
We’ve all had those days where one change sends our carefully planned schedule into chaos. Maybe your kid is sick, or a client needs an urgent meeting. Instead of spending precious time reorganizing everything, BeeLike automatically adjusts your schedule. Clear your morning, afternoon, or even entire week—BeeLike will intelligently reschedule everything else, maintaining your priorities without the stress.
This one is a personal story: it would really have been nice to have BeeLike when I dislocated my elbow earlier this year and had to re-plan the whole week just to make up for the eight dreaded hours at the hospital.
One Tool to Rule Them All
Here’s a common scenario: You use TickTick for tasks while your partner swears by Todoist. Your work calendar is in Outlook, your personal calendar in Google, and your family uses Apple Calendar. Sound familiar? BeeLike brings all of this together in one place. No more juggling between apps or missing important events because they were in “the other calendar.”
Want to simplify further? You can ditch all those other tools and just use BeeLike. The choice is yours—we play nice with other apps but we’re also happy to be your all-in-one solution.
Seamless Collaboration
Scheduling time with others shouldn’t require a PhD in calendar management. BeeLike makes it simple to share your availability and see when others are free. Whether you’re planning family dinners, couple’s activities, or team meetings, BeeLike helps you find times that work for everyone without the usual back-and-forth.
Work-Life Balance That Makes Sense
We all talk about work-life balance, but how do you actually achieve it? BeeLike helps you create distinct time windows for different parts of your life. Keep work activities within work hours, protect family time, and maintain boundaries while staying flexible when needed. It’s not about rigid separation—it’s about intentional organization that reflects your real life.
