💡 How Overlapping Slots Work:

Notice that 9:30-12:00 has THREE overlapping options: Deep Learning, Climbing, or Client Deep Work. This represents real-life flexibility. On busy work weeks, skip climbing and use that time for deep work. When you have breathing room, honor your learning goals. The non-negotiable slots (highlighted in yellow) are your hard boundaries - everything else adapts around them.

🔒 Non-Negotiable Slots:

These are your anchors. Everything else flexes around them.

📋 Action Assignment:

When you create an action, assign it a slot type (e.g., "Deep Work", "Family Time"). That action will appear in ANY slot of that type throughout your day. If Deep Learning gets bumped by urgent work, your learning actions won't disappear - they'll still show up in any other compatible slots you create.

⚡ Energizer Micro-Breaks:

Slots marked with ⚡ ENERGIZERSwill prompt you with positive micro-actions every ~25 minutes. These are quick, rewarding breaks like:

These micro-breaks keep your energy high during deep work sessions and prevent burnout.
