Overview
- Google began rolling out the feature on November 6 for Rapid Release domains, with standard rollout starting around December 1 and broad availability expected by mid-December.
- Users can assign specific durations to tasks, mark themselves busy, and adjust visibility so the reserved time shows appropriately on shared calendars.
- Scheduled tasks remain tied to the Google Tasks list and continue to trigger reminders until completion.
- Deadlines for tasks support a date only and do not allow setting a specific deadline time.
- The update replaces the common workaround of creating fake meetings to reserve focus time.
