Meeting Recovery Buffer Calculator

A back-to-back schedule that's fine on 7 hours of sleep can be genuinely unworkable on 5. This gives you a quick, honest number for today.

hrs

A rough, general guide — not personalized to you. Less sleep generally means less real capacity for back-to-back decisions, regardless of what's on the calendar.

How to use this

  1. 1Enter how many meetings are actually on your calendar today.
  2. 2Enter roughly how many hours you slept last night.
  3. 3Compare that to your suggested cap, and use the buffer time as a floor, not a suggestion.

Work Sharp sets your real meeting cap every day from your morning check-in, and generates the calendar move to fix it when you're over — automatically.
