Deep dives
Scheduling buffer time for flexibility
To deal with unexpected events that disrupt a carefully scheduled day, it is essential to schedule buffer time onto the calendar. Leaving some padding in the schedule allows for flexibility when a meeting runs long, or a personal or professional emergency arises. By incorporating buffer time, individuals can either protect their core activities or use the additional time to recharge and replenish their energy.
