Keep a persistent ADHD calendar helper running

OpenClaw can stay on duty for small scheduling jobs, energy prompts, and reminders that pull attention back to what matters.

What they did
One user set OpenClaw up as a continuously running helper for minor calendar work and ADHD support. It checks in on energy level, nudges attention toward the most important items, and carries out the calendar side in the background. Hermes Agent sits underneath as the orchestrator, while the rest of the coding environment is handled separately in tmux.
How it went
The writeup does not include any metrics, so there’s no number to point to. It also gives no evidence about how well the check-ins worked in practice.
Tips
Treat this as a build-it-yourself setup rather than a ready-made package. Add a clear approval step before the agent makes any calendar change that would create, alter, or remove an event.

Try it yourself with OpenClaw

Set up a persistent assistant for my calendar and attention management. Each day at [times], send me a short message in [Telegram, Slack, or another app] asking for my current energy on a 1-to-5 scale. Read my calendar at [calendar source], then suggest the 1 to 3 items that deserve my focus most, using [my priorities] as the guide. Keep the tone brief and gentle. If you need to add, edit, or erase any calendar item, first show me the exact change and wait for my approval before doing it.

Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
