Your best two hours, found for you
A daily suggestion that finds today's focus block where your brain actually works, not where the calendar left a hole
- Runs while your laptop is closed
- Reports in Littlebird and by email
- Free plan includes 5 routines
Today's best focus block is 9:00 to 11:00 AM, and it's still open.
- Why this window: you've kept 9:00 to 11:00 AM meeting-free on four of the last five Tuesdays.
- The afternoon is full: four meetings run from 1:00 to 5:00 PM, starting with the Birdseed Brands check-in.
Your calendar is unchanged. Add a hold if you want to keep the block.
The problem
Everyone wants more deep work; almost nobody schedules it on purpose. The day fills with meetings and the focus block becomes whatever is left over at 4pm, when the brain is already spent.
Your productive hours are not random. They repeat every week, and your calendar already holds the evidence.
What it does
This routine looks at your meeting patterns and finds the windows where you historically do focused work, then suggests the best two-hour block for today.
The suggestion arrives each morning, so the focus block gets defended before the day's invites start eating it.
Try the prompt
Copy it into a new Littlebird routine, then set the days and times that fit your schedule
- Open Littlebird and go to Routines. Open the menu next to New Routine and choose Set up manually.
- Paste the prompt into Instructions, then set the days and time under Run.
- Littlebird runs it on schedule from then on. You can pause or edit it anytime. Auto-pause is on by default and pauses it if reports go unread.
You can also choose Create with Littlebird and describe the routine in chat.
Every morning suggest the best 2-hour focus block today based on when I typically do my best work
Why make it a routine?
A skill in an AI chat app 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.
It is the same idea without the choreography: the report lands in Littlebird or your inbox instead of a chat window you have to babysit.
Frequently asked questions
How does it know when I do my best work?
It infers from your calendar patterns: which hours stay meeting-free, where long gaps survive, and how your week repeats. The longer it runs, the sharper the suggestions.
Will it add events to my calendar?
No. It suggests a block, and you decide whether to add it.
How much does Littlebird cost for this?
Plus is $17 a month ($20 month-to-month) with a 14-day free trial, and routines are included. Pro and Team plans are there if you need more. This routine also runs on the free Basic plan, which includes 5 routines.
What about my calendar data?
Nothing you schedule is sold. Littlebird is SOC 2 Type II, GDPR and CCPA aligned.
