Auto schedule time blocks

A little different take on how to use auto schedule with tasks and time blocking…

TLDR;

Block out time on your calendar bay tag,so tasks with that tag are auto scheduled in that block.

I think that it would be so helpful if I could set blocks of time on my schedule for certain type of tasks - then when auto-scheduling an option could be to fill that time with those types of tasks first - or maybe only with those types...

A simple example would be if I had 10 tasks for the day, but 3 of them were personal (household chores or something) they would be tagged accordingly. On my calendar I have a block of time that was for work, another for study, personal time, chores. When auto-schedule ran it would put the three tasks that were tagged as 'chores' in the chore time block and not in some other random place on the schedule... 

Personally I have lots of tasks in my other systems (as I'm working on moving over to BD more this year) that are all for various blocks of time... I don't want to be doing service when I'm supposed to be writing a blog post for my business when I auto-schedule my week. Sure, I can drag and rearrange, but doing it automatically would be fantastic... especially if my 'service' time (for example) is on Saturday morning only.
