Daily Deep-Work Block Consolidator
Every morning, scans your calendar for the day, finds the largest unbroken open gaps, and books one or two protected deep-work blocks before the day fills up.
How it runs
The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

What it does
Each morning this workflow looks at your Google Calendar for the day ahead, measures the open gaps between existing meetings, and reserves the longest viable windows as protected "Deep Work" events. It then posts the proposed blocks to Slack so you can approve or cancel them before anyone else grabs the time.
When to use it
Use it if your calendar tends to fill with reactive meetings by mid-morning and you never get a clean 90-minute stretch. It works best for individual contributors and managers who plan their own day but want the machine to claim focus time first.
How it works
- 1A morning schedule fires before your workday starts.
- 2The workflow pulls today's events from Google Calendar and computes free gaps inside your working hours.
- 3A decision step keeps only gaps at or above your minimum length (default 90 minutes) and picks the best one or two.
- 4It creates tentative Deep Work events on the calendar marked busy.
- 5It posts a Slack message listing the blocks with a cancel reaction; if you react within an hour, a follow-up removes that block.
