# The best calendar apps for entrepreneurs

Entrepreneurs need a calendar that protects building time from everything else. Cutline is made for it: plan deep work, sales and content as blocks, tick them off, and send payment links from the same app. Pair it with Google Calendar for meetings and a booking tool like Calendly for clients.

> Written by the Cutline team. Cutline is our product, so read this as a first-hand description of it and a fair, general description of the others. Other products change; check their sites for current details.

A founder's week has three kinds of hours: building, selling and everything else. The calendar that helps is the one that makes the first two happen before the third eats them.

## At a glance

## Questions

**How should a founder plan the week?**
Put building and selling blocks in first, in your best hours; then meetings; then everything else. Review it on Sunday. [The weekly review for founders](https://gocutline.com/playbooks/weekly-review-for-founders/) shows how.
