Protect your focus time before the meetings eat it

Deep work doesn't happen in the 25 minutes between calls. It needs a real block -- and those only survive if you claim them in the morning, before the day's invites land.

Most people know this. Few do it, because checking the calendar and negotiating with yourself is one more task on an already full list.

This routine runs every morning. It reads today's calendar, finds the gaps that can hold a two-hour focus block, and suggests the ones worth protecting -- ideally the hours when your workload usually peaks.

Accept a block, mark it busy, and the day now contains real work time by design instead of by luck.

1. Open Littlebird and go to Routines, then create a new routine.
2. Paste the prompt above. Adjust the days and times to fit your schedule.
3. Littlebird runs it on schedule from then on. Pause or edit it anytime with auto-pause.

A Claude skill or a ChatGPT skill can approximate this -- if you remember to ask. Copy in your calendar, paste the thread, wait, then carry the answer back out of the chat tab.

Littlebird already has the context: your meetings, your inbox, your calendar, and what was on your screen. The routine runs on schedule whether you remember or not.

Same idea, no choreography. The output lands in your Gmail or your task list instead of a chat window you have to babysit.
