That definitely is an alternative and is something I used to do. The reason I like the focus time feature (if implemented the way I suggest) is that the goal is to instill this culture across the team so that it's more of a team/company culture and less of something that just you do.
I'd love to hear people's experience trying this out!
- ffreire 4y agoI do this regularly, and to the extent that I'm able I put the task in the description so that my team knows more or less what I'm prioritizing. You can also create recurring OOO and Focus Time events now, so I have lunch blocked off and 30min at the end of each day to prepare for the next. It's a secret super power to staying on top of things and creating rituals that help me sign off at a reasonable hour instead of sliding into unproductively and less time with family. Really, my only gripe with Google Calendar at this point is that you can't define custom colors nor label those colors. I use that feature heavily now to give me an at a glance view of which projects or activities my time is going to on a weekly basis. The colors don't have consistency across months though because I have to re-use colors for different purposes.
