What it does

Most calendars look busy but are actually fragmented: a 30-minute gap here, a 20-minute gap there, none long enough to do anything meaningful. This workflow runs once a week, reads your upcoming schedule, identifies the dead-zone fragments, and books consolidated focus blocks into the largest contiguous openings it can find.

When to use it

For anyone whose week fills with back-to-back meetings and who keeps meaning to "find time" for deep work but never does. Run it Friday afternoon so Monday already has protected blocks waiting.

How it works

  1. 1A weekly schedule trigger fires Friday at 3pm for the upcoming Monday-Friday window.
  2. 2It pulls all events from Google Calendar for those five days.
  3. 3Logic computes the gaps between meetings, discards fragments under 30 minutes, and ranks the remaining open windows by length.
  4. 4It creates 2-4 "Focus block" events in the best windows, capping total booked focus time so the calendar does not feel hijacked.
  5. 5It posts a Slack summary to your DM listing each protected block and how much fragmented time was reclaimed.
