Square’s appointment service has a similar feature where it can block off appointment slots so customers can’t book. Presumably a fake-it-til ya make it feature.
For sure this will burn you at work eventually if you use it. That said, if you need this, maybe you need to actually brush up your CV and find a job that doesn't destroy your productivity with meetings :)
Is there such a job where you’re not inundated by meetings?

I respond to all meeting invited as tentative as I have no clue if I’ll get scheduled pulled into a different meeting at the same time. Is there such a job where you’re not inundated by meetings?
Maybe there is no need to create fake items. Maybe one should schedule calendar items "Making X", "Implementing Y", "Researching Z"... for own best hours everyday and leave a couple of acceptable gaps for meetings?

No one has complained yet and in fact I even put down lunch breaks in there now to. It's cut down on excess meetings I have to attend and more importantly i'm able to have some control over time with projects where it may take an hour to get really into it.

Literally just out of a block of "Focus on Design Validation" (currently in a conference call).
But yeah, make appointments for yourself.

Any job where at least some of the work you do is so important that no one can justifiably tell you not to do it for any reason except to fire you. There are a variety of professional services fields where this is the case. IDK about the software world.
