The device may perform an action based on determining the risk indicator.

Abstract: Attention-based scheduling is provided. Most people's energy levels and cognitive functioning fluctuate throughout the day. Typically, the time of day when a person feels more energetic or has a higher attention span is the time in the person's day when the individual has the highest productivity potential. While at off-peak times, a person may have less attention, which can make it harder for the individual to be effective. An attention-based schedule system identifies a user's high and off-peak times based on one or more attention-based factors. When a meeting or appointment is scheduled and an attention-based scheduling conflict is determined, the user or another scheduler of the calendar item is notified, and in some examples, alternate time suggestions are provided. In some examples, off-peak times are blocked off from the user's calendar.
