Lesson Overview

14.23 – Creating “Buffer Time” Before and After Events: Buffer time is the cushion that prevents chaos. Schedule at least fifteen minutes before and after important appointments to transition smoothly. These windows allow you to gather materials, review notes, breathe, or handle small delays calmly. Without buffers, even minor setbacks can domino into major stress. Building them intentionally demonstrates realistic planning and self-care. Buffer time also gives your brain space to shift gears between tasks, improving focus. Think of it as emotional padding—protecting your energy and punctuality. People who plan without buffers often feel constantly rushed; those who use them feel composed. It’s a subtle yet powerful skill that turns scheduling from rigid control into graceful flow. Once you experience its benefits, you’ll view time not as pressure but as rhythm that supports balance and consistency.
