Calendar Shutdown Buffer Block
A calendar shutdown buffer block ends the workday with planned wrap-up—preventing laptop creep into evening recovery and sleep.
A calendar shutdown buffer block is the last fifteen to thirty minutes of the workday reserved to close loops—capture tomorrow's top task, clear desk, dim screens—before evening training or family time. Without it, laptops reopen at dinner and sleep latency rises.
Mark busy so meetings cannot land at 5:55 p. m.
Pair with an evening shutdown ritual phrase or lights-down cue.

What belongs inside a shutdown block?
Tomorrow's one priority, inbox zero only for urgent threads, and a physical cue—chair pushed in, monitor off. Skip starting new deep work; that belongs to morning reservation.
