## Details

## Overview

Time Slots represent Akiflow's innovative approach to time blocking, described by users as "the absolute best feature in Akiflow."

## How Time Slots Work

Time Slots are essentially calendar events that can contain multiple tasks:

1. **Create a Time Slot**: Block time on your calendar (e.g., "Morning Deep Work" from 9-11am)
2. **Add Tasks**: Drag multiple tasks into the time slot
3. **Flexible Execution**: Work through tasks within the time period
4. **Easy Rescheduling**: Move the entire time slot to reschedule all contained tasks

## Key Benefits

### Flexibility

- Can adjust order of tasks within the slot
- Accommodates interruptions without breaking the structure

### Visual Clarity

- Calendar remains clean and organized
- Easy to identify available time

### Batch Processing

- Difficult to reschedule groups of tasks

Time Slots approach:
- Container holds related tasks
