PERSONAL PRODUCTIVITY
Schedule protected deep-work blocks every morning
Runs on a daily schedule before your workday starts, finds the longest open gap in your calendar.
How it runs
The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

What it does
Each morning this workflow scans the day ahead, locates your largest uninterrupted free window, and books a deep-work block into it before meetings have a chance to claim it. It then sets your Slack status and Do Not Disturb to match the block so colleagues see you're heads-down.
When to use it
Use it when you keep meaning to protect focus time but never get to it before the calendar fills. Proactively claiming the slot each morning beats fighting for it at noon.
How it works
- 1A scheduled trigger fires early each weekday morning.
- 2The workflow reads the day's Google Calendar events and computes the longest free gap within your working hours.
- 3A branch confirms the gap meets your minimum length (e.g. 90 minutes); if nothing qualifies, the run ends quietly.
- 4It creates a calendar event titled "Deep Work — do not book" set to busy/private for that window.
- 5It sets your Slack status to focusing and schedules Do Not Disturb to cover the exact block, then posts a confirmation to your personal channel.
Set it up
