CALENDAR PLANNING · Workflow idea
For a calendar the owner has authorized, check the week’s scheduled hours against a threshold they choose and identify days that may need focus time. Preserve existing commitments, use only the availability details required, respect working hours and time zones, and show the proposed hold for review or follow the owner’s explicit calendar rules before adding it. Keep private event details out of broad notifications.
01 / The starting point
An owner-approved calendar, planning period, and configured workload threshold
“Reserve useful focus time without overriding meetings or exposing private calendar details.”
02 / The work
Helps a calendar owner find heavily booked days and make room for focused work.
Review only the calendar and date range the owner has approved.
Apply the chosen workday, time zone, and threshold without exposing event titles.
Check existing commitments and avoid moving, canceling, or inviting others to meetings.
Show the date, duration, and reason so the owner can adjust or decline.
Follow explicit owner rules and confirm the final hold appears at the intended time.
03 / The result
A weekly availability summary and conflict-checked focus holds with owner review status.
Reviews & approvals · Example outcome
A weekly availability summary and conflict-checked focus holds with owner review status.
A busy-hours count can miss travel, preparation, personal time, or meeting importance. Let the owner set thresholds and working hours, check for conflicts before creating a hold, avoid changing existing invitations, and provide an easy way to review or remove proposed blocks.
04 / Make it yours
A few choices shape the work around your team.
Let each calendar owner choose the settings that determine a busy day.
Avoid copying private meeting titles or participant details into summaries.
Specify hold length, existing-event exclusions, and whether a person must approve each hold.
Make proposed holds easy to correct, decline, or delete.
