Visualising capacity in the context of switching to remote work
summary
Maps weekly calendars into two-hour focus blocks and enforces a daily one-hour break, shows 10 one-hour focus blocks as a week in Figma so each block equals an hour, and uses a capacity calculator plugin to convert percent allocations into hours. Claims 20-minute refocus cost equals ~3.3 hours/week per person, shifts meetings (biweekly, 20/50 minute rule), doubles individual focus from ~4 to ~10 hours, improves estimates and visibility, and reports 520 hours saved per week using a shared Figma team capacity template.
