Auto-book focus blocks on your most overloaded days
Every Friday it scans next week's Google Calendar, scores meeting density per day, and books focus blocks on the most overloaded days so deep work survives the schedule.

What it does
Runs a forward-looking audit of your upcoming work week. It reads next week's events from Google Calendar, totals meeting hours per day, and flags any day where meetings exceed a threshold (default 5 hours). On overloaded days it finds the largest remaining open gap and reserves it as a protected "Focus block" event, then posts a Monday-ready summary to Slack so you start the week knowing where your deep-work time lives.
When to use it
Use it if your calendar fills itself by Thursday and you keep losing maker time to back-to-back meetings. Best for individual contributors and managers who want a standing, automatic guardrail rather than manually defending their week every Friday afternoon.
How it works
- 1A Friday-afternoon schedule fires the workflow.
- 2It pulls all next-week events from Google Calendar and sums meeting minutes by day.
- 3A logic step compares each day against the overload threshold and selects the days to protect.
- 4For each overloaded day it creates a focus-block event in the longest open gap on Google Calendar.
- 5It posts a per-day load summary and the new focus blocks to a Slack channel.
