I Let an AI Plan My Day. It Was Efficient and I Missed Lunch.

I gave a model my tasks and let it build the perfect schedule, back-to-back, no gaps.

It squeezed in everything and left no buffer, so the first delay cascaded through the whole day.

I followed it and skipped lunch because the plan didn't account for eating.

I now ask for a schedule with deliberate whitespace, and I guard the breaks myself.

Efficiency that deletes your life isn't a win. The plan should serve the day, not consume it.
