Here's a suggested time-blocking schedule based on your 8-hour workday:
**Morning**

**Buffer Time**:

### **Step 4: Productivity Techniques**
- **Time-Blocking**: You’ll be working in 90-minute focus blocks, as per your preference. Stick to these to ensure sustained focus and progress.
- **Pomodoro for Breaks**: Use short, timed breaks (e.g., 15 minutes after each 90-minute session) to recharge.
- **Task Batching**: Group minor tasks like email or admin work into the last 30 minutes to avoid interruptions during focus sessions.
### **Step 5: Reflection**
Set aside 5 minutes at the end of your day for reflection:
- **What did I accomplish today?**
- **What challenges did I face, and how can I improve tomorrow?**
- **Did I maintain a healthy balance between work and self-care?**
### **Actionable Tips for Balance**:
- **Self-care First**: Start your day with meditation, and end with a workout to keep your mental and physical health in check.
- **Use Breaks Wisely**: Step away from your desk, stretch, or take a short walk during breaks to avoid burnout.
- **Reflect and Adjust**: If you find certain tasks taking longer, adjust your schedule flexibly to avoid pressure.
