Protect your focus time before the meetings eat it

Two-hour focus blocks suggested every morning, based on the gaps your calendar actually has today.

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.

THE ROUTINE

What it does

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.

FAQ

Does it change my calendar automatically?

It suggests; you approve. Nothing gets booked without your say.

What if my day is wall-to-wall meetings?

It tells you that too -- and flags which meetings look movable, so the block comes from a trade, not a fantasy.

What does the focus block routine cost?

It's free on the Basic plan. If you stack it with other routines, Plus costs $17 per month billed annually or $20 month to month, with a 14-day trial.

Can it learn my best focus hours?

Yes. Tell it in the prompt -- 'mornings only' or 'never after 4pm' -- and it respects your rhythm.
