## The problem

Your calendar belongs to everyone but you.

## How Plexii handles it

Drag work from Attention onto the Today column to book half an hour for it; blocks write back to a linked Google or Microsoft calendar so colleagues see you are busy.

In short: Drag work straight into your day and protect the time. Your blocks show on your linked calendar, so the meetings go around them.
