This sounds like a gag gift version of Clockwise which is awesome and maximizes the blocks of time you have to focus. I get the gimmick but meh

#22This is a very funny idea. Would be nice to see more options for customizing event titles in the future.
Author here - let me know if you have any suggestions, it's easy to add more :)

#23Almost all orgs will allow you to set your calendar to private, showing only "busy" or something similar. Just do this and make the fake meetings yourself.
that's way less fun

It would be nice if the user could specify a title that will be used for all events.
I'd absolutely use this to block off some time for project work, and I have no reason not to label the events honestly ("Blocked off" or "Project X").

#28That reminds me http://www.paulgraham.com/makersschedule.html 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?
After 6 months of back to back meetings all day long all week I started doing this and it has been a lifesaver.
