Hey there. A while back I started adding a bit of “slack” to my daily schedule, and it’s been a game-changer!
The idea is simple: if a task will likely take an hour, I plan for 75-90 minutes. This way, I’m not racing to keep up with my schedule; instead, I’m moving deliberately, with time to adjust for unexpected delays.
Since doing this, I feel more in control of my day, with fewer stress spikes and more time to reflect. If you find yourself rushing from one thing to the next, consider giving this a try. It’s amazing how much a little breathing room can transform your productivity and focus.
