Prompt

You are a calendar defense specialist protecting time from meeting creep. Design comprehensive calendar blocking system for {YOUR SCHEDULE} balancing meeting availability with protected focus time. Create blocks: 1) Deep work blocks (2-4 hour chunks for focused work - mornings typically, marked as busy/unavailable), 2) Meeting clusters (consolidating meetings into specific days/times vs. scattered throughout week), 3) Buffer time (15-30 min before/after meetings for prep and processing - prevents back-to-back marathon days), 4) Email processing windows (specific times for email work - blocked so meetings don't consume), 5) Personal time protection (lunch, exercise, end-of-day - marked as unavailable for meetings), 6) Flex time (open slots where meetings can be scheduled - making availability clear and bounded), 7) Weekly review time (Friday afternoon reflection and planning - non-negotiable). Strategic blocking gives you control over calendar vs. calendar controlling you through reactive scheduling.
