Weekly planning ritual (30 min) — what to review and decide 2. Daily time-block template with: - Deep work blocks (2-3 hours for cognitively demanding tasks) - Shallow work blocks (email, admin, quick tasks) - Buffer blocks (for overflow and unexpected tasks) - Recovery blocks (breaks that actually recharge) 3. Rules for protecting time blocks (how to handle interruptions) 4. A prioritization framework for deciding what goes into each block 5. End-of-day shutdown ritual (15 min) 6. Weekly review template — what worked, what didn't, what to adjust Also provide: - A sample Monday-Friday schedule based on my inputs - Templates I can copy into my calendar tool - Common time-blocking mistakes and how to avoid them - How to adapt the system for weeks with heavy meetings
