## Limit your 12% time to 4 hours per week over a long term average. It's okay to spend more or less time on 12% time per week, it doesn't have to be exactly 4 hours.

## Missing work objectives or deadlines while still working 12% time in a particular week is a major cause for concern and should never happen! The 12% time is a buffer, not a dedicated project. It is of course possible, to consume the buffer entirely and still miss a deadline: bring it up at the retrospective if that's the case.

## Try to stick closely to four hours per week though; having you do 0-0-0-16 hours in a month would defeat goal 1 of having slack every week.

## Do not catch-up on 'missed' 12% time. If a week was quite busy, the work consumes the 12% time as a buffer, as it was intended. The next week, just do 4 hours rather than 8 hours on 12% time.
