What about just adding a tag (:evening:, :morning:, etc.) to represent a
fuzzy time, with a plain date stamp, like <2018-12-04>?

That would allow you to easily create a custom agenda view containing
just entries with fuzzy times (if they have a timestamp with just a
date, you can even filter for those that are coming up in the next
couple of days).  Then when it's convenient, you can look at this agenda
view and schedule things that are still fuzzy more precisely.

Hope that helps!
