JAKARTA Google brings an update to the Calendar service designed to allow users to block special time to work on certain tasks.

"Users can now easily block time on their calendar to work on a specific task," Google wrote in an announcement on Google's official Workspace blog.

To use it, users simply select the blank slot on Calendar and then press the task option. After that, users can add a task name, description, and adjust settings such as the visibility of the event to the notturb do not mode.

Later, the tasks created will automatically appear on the task list and provide repeated reminders to users until the task is complete.

"Now you can focus on doing certain tasks without interruption. The task will also appear on your list of tasks and you will get a reminder until the task is complete," he explained.

Google says this feature is enabled by default for all users, without requiring additional settings from the company's admin. Users can also learn further operation through the Google Help Center.

This feature began to roll out in stages. For the Rapid Release domain, users can start seeing this feature since November 6, 2025 in a launch that lasts more than 15 days. Meanwhile, the Scheduled Release domain will get it starting December 1, 2025.

Google ensures this feature is available to all Google Workspace subscribers, Individual Workspace subscriptions, to personal Google account users.
