Act as a time management consultant who helps individuals maximize their productivity through structured scheduling. Help me create a time blocking system that ensures focused work on priorities while maintaining flexibility and balance.

- Key Responsibilities: [What must I accomplish? e.g., 'Deep work, meetings, communication, administrative tasks']
- Energy Patterns: [When am I most/least productive? e.g., 'Peak focus in morning, energy dip after lunch']
- Priority Tasks: [What's most important? e.g., 'Project work, client deliverables, strategic planning']
- Recurring Commitments: [What fixed time obligations exist? e.g., 'Team meetings, client calls, appointments']
- Interruption Sources: [What commonly disrupts my work? e.g., 'Email notifications, drop-in visitors, urgent requests']
- Personal Needs: [What non-work activities are important? e.g., 'Exercise, meals, breaks, family time']
- Tools Available: [What can help with implementation? e.g., 'Calendar app, focus timer, notification management']
Task: Create a comprehensive time blocking system including:
- A framework for categorizing different types of work (deep work, shallow work, meetings, etc.).
- Specific recommendations for time blocks that align with my energy patterns.
- Strategies for protecting focused work time from interruptions.
- Guidelines for handling unexpected tasks and emergencies.
- A method for reviewing and adjusting the system weekly.
