I'm trying to set airplane mode on during these times 6:15-8:15,
8:50-10:55, and 11:45-12:55. Monday-Friday. I am in a warehouse those
times of the day and I dont get any signal at all in the warehouse so
it just run the batteries down really fast. These work but was but was
trying to finger a way to put it all in one profile and put it in a
widget to turn it off if I'm not in the warehouse. For this I have
made three profiles.

Profile->work1
Mon-fri + 6:15-8:15
Tasks->Airplane mode toggle

Profile->work2
Mon-fri + 8:50-10:55
Tasks->Airplane mode toggle

Profile->work3
Mon-fri + 11:45-12:55
Tasks->Airplane mode toggle

Could toggle it back on at 8:15, put a wait task for 35 minutes, and then toggle it back off. I'm sure there is already somewhere on your phone to toggle airplane mode manually. If not Tasker can make you one. Just add a Tasker "Task" widget, and it should look familiar from there

ya i got the widget that puts in to airplane mode. i was just trying to get something so it will do it auto so i dont even have to turn my screen on and click it everytime. but i think i have it set now. i just was hoping maybe some one know a better way of scripting then i was. still learning.

You could maybe try a for loop based on time or a wait until. I think wait until might be best but if you want those exact times then you might have to do some variable magic.

Either way I don't think it would be economical if you try distill everything into one profile because you would effectively have one profile running for around 5 hours.

You could use the location as the toggle if you actually get a decent distance away from your work on your breaks

I would leave it exactly as you have it with the 3 profiles. The time and day context is one of the lowest on the " Battery hungry" list.  And I do not believe there is another Preferred or more elegant way to do what you want to do.
