Definition​

To pencil in something means to schedule or enter a specific event or appointment into a calendar or planner, typically by writing it in with a pencil. This phrase is often used to convey a sense of tentative or relatively non-binding engagement, as opposed to making a more concrete or definitive commitment. For example, if someone asks you to attend a meeting at a later date, you might say you'll pencil it in, suggesting that you're not making a hard commitment, but rather leaving room for other obligations to arise.
