Kalendritega

Kalendritega is a fictional calendrical methodology used in time-management discourse to describe the integration of calendar structures into organizational planning and governance. It envisions a unified coordinate system in which personal, team, and public calendars are linked to support coordinated action, resource allocation, and transparency in scheduling.

The term combines kalendar, a root related to calendar, with the suffix -tega, implying “having” or “with” in several Baltic languages. The construction is used in hypothetical explanations rather than a real linguistic tradition.

The concept emerged in thought experiments within information design and urban planning circles and was later popularized in discussions of collaborative tools that enable cross-organizational time-block sharing.

Its principles include temporal transparency, integrated calendars, modular time blocks, and a balance of privacy and accessibility.

Applications span personal productivity, project management, education scheduling, municipal planning, and event coordination.

Critics note that an overemphasis on scheduling can curtail spontaneity, raise privacy concerns with shared calendars, and risk deepening the digital divide.
