Auto-Block Focus Time in Google Calendar on Busy Days

Automatically scans your Google Calendar for the current week's events, calculates booked hours per day, and blocks remaining work hours (up to 8 total) as focus time on days exceeding 6 hours of meetings.

It triggers daily (configurable via Schedule Trigger, recommended before 9AM), fetches all events from Sunday to Saturday of the current week using the Google Calendar node, and computes total booked hours per day. Assuming an 8-hour workday (e.g., 9AM-5PM), if any day surpasses 6 hours of bookings—like meetings or tasks—it automatically creates a new 'Focus Time' event for the remaining duration,
