• Protect the day: There are no timed personal appointments, so reserve a focused work block.

• Get ahead: Prepare the leadership slides due tomorrow, then scope the medium-priority auto-scroll fix if the main task is complete.
• Personal Gmail could not be triaged automatically; manually scan it if you expect a time-sensitive message.
