Having things cancelled, and therefore freeing up a block of time, should give me more time to do other stuff; drawing or admin or housework or *something*. But invariably I find it super hard to program something else in to the slot as a replacement. It wasn't in the original manifest! So I go to a limbo *tea and stare on the couch* place. Hmm, will try to rewrite the manifest with a bit more deliberation.

I have the same problem. Plans fall through unexpectedly & that freed up time seems to vanish before I'm ready for it.

The later the cancellation the harder it is to reallocate the time. It really is one of the more frustrating things that we can be prone to.
Best, although far from guaranteed solution I've found. Is to have a plan already in place. A, if not x, then y, alternative, already established in your head.

@pathfinder @AoifeGreenhamIllustrations Absolutley. I’ll also add, from my perspective, if there’s a gap between different tasks/appointments my timeblindness leads to either starting something that can never be finished in the available time, or more usually (particularly of late) not doing anything in the available time, which can stretch into a couple of hours.
