Recently designers have been talking about calendars. As an individual contributor one thing I’m missing is a way to indicate that meetings have a larger impact on my focus time than just the allotted time. I threw together a quick prototype to concept an idea: “Blast radius”

Enjoyed @eikedrescher case study on this concept too. [Link: Doesn’t seem like a difficult feature to implement either. Something like a three-level rating to signify the impact when creating an event would be great. If I was to bet on a company to be first, it would be @tryamie 👀

Love this! Also needed for decompression after certain meetings.

💯 to this

Great concept! Imo, this action shouldn't be possible. Would suggest adding another feature called Crash detection to keep meetings safe from the blast radius of other events.

Interesting. I guess from a makers perspective I would rather have a couple meetings stacked in a block than scattered throughout my day.

love love love - have you seen

I haven’t. Adding it to my reads list!

No joke have considered adding 15 min “buffer zones” to every meeting

I love the way this is represented! It keeps the "real" meetings obvious and does what most people do anyway, which is time block and guard that space around meetings manually.

I love this. I always have put that time on my cal as a separate appt noting it as meeting prep.
