Help me plan a week around these shifts. Preserve the shift times exactly. Protect the sleep blocks I specify and allow travel time. Place demanding tasks in my available waking time. Return a compact day-by-day plan and flag conflicts instead of squeezing everything in. Do not change commitments without asking. Shifts: [days and times] Sleep blocks: [times] Other commitments: [list] Tasks: [list]

The workflow

List your shift dates, fixed appointments and family commitments.
Ask Claude to lay out a day-by-day plan that protects sleep blocks.
Move anything that conflicts and copy the plan into your calendar.
Reuse the same request for the next block.
