When you schedule activities back-to-back, you create stress. You rush from one thing to the next. You arrive late. You start flustered. The day becomes a series of rushed transitions instead of intentional movements.
Add fifteen minutes of buffer time between scheduled activities. This is not wasted time. It is transition time. It allows you to finish one thing properly, travel to the next, and arrive ready instead of rushed.
This buffer also handles the unexpected. When a meeting runs over, or traffic is worse than expected, the buffer absorbs the delay instead of cascading it through your entire day.
Review your calendar for this week. Add fifteen-minute buffers between activities. Then notice how much calmer your days become when you are not constantly rushing from one thing to the next.
