In my experience 2) doesn’t work. I block time and people just ignore it.

This is especially bad with multi-person meetings. There’s no slot when everyone’s free, so the organiser picks the least-bad slot. Unfortunately it’s when you had booked out your time.

Now what do you do? Decline? Because you’re unavailable? You know you can make it, and you feel compelled to turn up.
