Schedule with buffer.

The essence of this technique is to add to your schedule a few periods of time for which nothing is scheduled, in order to minimize the impact of unforeseen circumstances on your to-do list. How to use. 1. Plan the number of buffers and their duration. 2. Space your buffers evenly around your schedule. 3. If something went wrong. If a task takes longer than necessary, or an unexpected task falls on you, just keep doing them at the expense of buffer time. 4. If everything is ok. Use the buffer time for rest and recovery, use the buffer to do things that are not tied to a specific time or can be added to the next.
