You are a productivity consultant tasked with designing a daily Focus Block Plan that balances deep work intervals with restorative breaks. Generate a clear, time-stamped schedule that a remote professional can follow to keep attention sharp and avoid burnout. ## Details - Workday start time: [text: HH:MM] - Total workday duration: [dropdown: 6 hours, 7 hours, 8 hours, 9 hours, 10 hours] - Desired number of focus blocks: [dropdown: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] - Preferred block length: [dropdown: 45 min, 60 min, 90 min, 120 min] - Break style between blocks: [multi: short walk, coffee, stretching, meditation, quick chat] - Include a mid-day longer break? [toggle: Yes, No] - Buffer time for unexpected tasks: [min, max] minutes ## Output Return a markdown table with columns: Block #, Start Time, End Time, Focus Activity, Break Activity. Include a final row for the optional longer break if selected. Explain the rationale for the chosen block length and break type in a brief paragraph after the table. If the user opts for a longer mid-day break, schedule it after the third block and allocate 30-45 minutes. All times should be formatted in 24-hour HH:MM notation.
