Support "free time"

[cori]

From #1 it would be nice to be able to have time blocks that appear in the Nautilus but that can be "overscheduled". Orginial note:

A way to mark an appointment as "free"
I block my calendar with "Focus Time" blocks and i also show my partner's work schedule. It would be great if those could show in the nautilus for visibility but not block task placement
might not be possible - i haven't read any of the code yet...

this chunk of time on my calendar in meant for tasks, so i want tasks to be placed there. I also have calendar entries for family members' schedules that i would use this way, but the most important things are the ones on my calendar

Thanks! There are many other scenarios where this would be useful. I am preparing some background for prototyping and implementation.

If I'm understanding this correctly... I too would love this! I'd love to have a higher level view of blocks of related things. It could be focus time for work, it could be a block of time where to slot personal tasks... I could even use it to distinguish different projects. Maybe an outter ring on the wheel? With a separate time count? Oh boy... and I could customize the color for each block? :D

My experience is that increasing complexity over some threshold creates a trap where the tool itself becomes a task to do. I do not want my tools to push me into a workflow; I just want them to get out of my way and help me to simplify my life. I considered "outter rings" several times and I do not rule them out but I still try to keep it simple! :) Thanks for your feedback again!
