Fixed-attendance commitment: meaning

A fixed-attendance commitment is a commitment that requires physical or synchronous presence at a set time, but not deep concentration. It has a low cost if scheduled in advance, because adding it to the calendar does not take concentration away from other blocks: the low cost depends on the absence of intense cognitive activation. It belongs to the category of commitments with a low impact on available focus time and is best anchored at the start or end of the day, at natural transitions.

Distinctive: physical or synchronous presence
Distinctive: not deep concentration
Essential: set time
Essential: low cost if scheduled
Constant: presence
