(1) You can set up a work shift at your convenience.

(2) You can set up a work shift convenient for yourself.

(3) You can set up a work shift that is convenient for yourself.

I made up these sentences. (1) is my 'original' sentence. I came up with two more sentences to say the same thing. Are both (2) and (3) correct?

Thanks a lot.

Meanings:
(1) You are free to prepare/record/document your preferred shift schedule . But does not imply that the shift will necessarily be acceptable or approved
(2) "...for you". You are free to choose a convenient work shift. No restrictions.
(3) "...for you". Same as (2).

How about:

You are free to draw up the shift schedule to suit your convenience?

What's wrong with "to suit your/one's convenience"?

It's less natural than the other suggestions.
