How to add buffer time in CalMaestro

Back-to-back meetings often leave little room to breathe, prepare, or recharge. That is where buffer time comes in. Buffer time is the small gap you schedule before or after a meeting so you can wrap up notes, grab a quick break, or get ready for the next discussion. Adding buffer time with CalMaestro is quick, simple, and helps you manage your day without burning out.

Why buffer time matters

Buffer time is more than just empty space. It ensures you:

• Avoid rushing from one meeting to the next.
• Have time to capture important takeaways before moving on.
• Stay fresh and focused instead of drained.
• Maintain professionalism by showing up prepared.
  
  

Even five minutes can make the difference between a scattered day and one that feels organized.

How to add buffer time to CalMaestro events

Follow these steps to add buffer time to your events:

Step 1: Edit your event

On your CalMaestro dashboard, locate the event you want to adjust. Click the three dots beside the event name, then select “Edit.”

Step 2: Locate the buffer Time settings

Scroll to the bottom of the edit window. You will find fields to add buffer time before and after each meeting.

Input the number of minutes you want as a buffer. This applies to every booking for that event.

Pro Tip: A buffer of 5 to 15 minutes before and after each meeting is often ideal. It gives you time to reset and reduces the risk of meeting fatigue.

Step 3: Save your changes

Once you are satisfied, click “Save.” Your buffer times are now active and will appear automatically on your booking page.

Example: If you add a 15-minute buffer before a 30-minute meeting, your booking page will show adjusted times, ensuring no one can schedule back-to-back meetings against your availability.
