Project blocks: give your week context and surface relevant tasks

A project block reserves time for one project and provides context for the meetings and tasks inside it. While that block is running, Klara gives matching tasks a boost in Calendar’s Task Queue and can suggest the project in Quick add. Due dates, priority and real calendar placements also affect the queue. A project block does not automatically schedule its tasks.

What you’ll have

A week organized around meaningful work areas, with relevant next actions easier to find.

What you’ll need

A Klara account on desktop, at least one project and tasks assigned to it.

Meet Maya Bennett, a fictional Head of Operations. All screenshots show her demo workspace in the current Klara interface.

1. How do you create a project block?

Create a calendar entry and choose Project Block. Select the project, give the block a clear title and set its start and end time. Maya reserves a morning for Team & Leadership so one-to-ones, preparation and follow-up work have a shared context.

2. How do tasks connect to the block?

Put related tasks in the same project as the block. Klara uses that project connection to understand your planned work context. A matching color makes the relationship easier to scan, but the project assignment is what matters. Most tasks do not need a key-result link for this to work.

3. When does project context change what you see?

The project context comes from a block running at the current time, not simply from the date you are viewing. Matching open tasks get more weight in Calendar’s Task Queue. Quick add can suggest the active project; check its selection before creating the task. Use the same project assignment on the block and the tasks.

In Tasks, select Sort → Projects with ascending order to bring the active project forward. Other sort choices still follow their selected rule. Klara takes its context from your scheduled block and project assignments; you stay in control of which task to work on.

4. How do you keep project blocks realistic?

Start with a few blocks that reflect how you actually work. Give meetings, breaks and personal plans room too. Review the week when priorities change. Maya keeps sport in the evening and a lake walk on Saturday, instead of filling every empty hour with another work block.
