time block
Calendar's reserved segment
A time block is a scheduled period dedicated to a specific task or type of work.
The practice of time blocking involves dividing your day into discrete chunks rather than working from an open-ended to-do list: I have a two-hour time block for deep work every morning.
The approach aims to protect focus by treating commitments to yourself like appointments.
