Calendar settings

Defaults for new events, your week, working and focus time, buffers and time zones.

Settings → Calendar decides what happens when you create something without thinking about it.

Preferred focus time	Weekday hours you'd rather keep for deep work, like 09:00–11:00. Find a time and your booking page never offer them.
Protect focus blocks	Invitations that land in one of your protected focus blocks are declined for you, with a notification; you can still accept. On to begin with.
Warn when a day is over capacity	A note on Today when more is booked than your working hours hold. Never blocks anything. On to begin with.
Default buffer	Padding before and after new events in a Space, unless an event sets its own. Choose the Space, then None to 30 minutes.
