How to disable 'Focus Time' when adding planner cards?

I've been using Trello for a while now, and it's worked wonderfully for keeping track of my projects.

I recently started using it more as a planner, but I've run into a snag. When I add cards to my planner board, they automatically include a "focus time" setting, and I can't seem to find an option to turn it off.

Does anyone know how I can toggle this default "focus time" setting off so I can add cards without it? With this setting it blocks others from setting up meetings, chatting, etc. I want to keep those options available.

I've tried turning it off in various places, but not finding where:
Trello (not under planner settings, nor card settings, not using any add-ons, am using custom fields)
Google Calendar (not under calendar settings)

Within Google Calendar, if I edit individual entries showing the "headphones" icon showing it's "focus time," I can edit and set to "default visibility" which will then allow folks to send meeting requests but I'd rather not have to do this for each individual event.

Thank you so much in advance for any assistance.
