New Design…its neat

New Design…its neat

1. No interruptions.Such as irritations due to inability to find a feature or mismatch in expectations with options.

2. Fast interactions. Only the most relevant options on workspace with clean organization and logical metaphors in alignment with other similar Google products.

3. Less errorsThe crucial interactions have high visibility reducing the chances of missing them. Like Tasks tab if open doesn't hide events behind it and is also states its existence when hidden in the form of a small yellow tab.

4. Spacious workspace Lots of whitespaces are created which aesthetically fit in design to give a sense of free spaces and clarity. They help to highlight the important things.
