Auto-Create Focus Blocks Around Your Busiest Days
Every Sunday it analyzes the coming week's meeting density and automatically books focus blocks on your lightest mornings, marking them busy so colleagues can't schedule over them.

What it does
This workflow plants the focus blocks for you. It reads next week's calendar, finds the days and time windows with the least meeting load, and creates protected focus-block events on those windows set to "busy" so they show as unavailable to anyone trying to book you.
When to use it
Use it if you keep meaning to block focus time but never get around to it, or if your meeting load shifts week to week so a fixed recurring block doesn't fit. It rebuilds your defenses every week based on actual load.
How it works
- 1A weekly Sunday schedule triggers the run.
- 2The flow reads all events for the upcoming week from Google Calendar.
- 3A logic step computes per-day meeting density and picks the lightest morning windows that meet a minimum length.
- 4It creates focus-block events on those windows, marked busy and visibility-private, skipping days already saturated with meetings.
- 5A recap of the blocks created is posted to your Slack so you know where your protected time landed.
