Why Calendar Management Matters
When I first launched Run the Desk, I thought I could “do it all.” My calendar told another story—double bookings, endless context switching, and not enough time for real growth.
Over time, I realized that effective calendar management isn’t about squeezing in more—it’s about creating space for what matters.
3 Calendar Management Tips That Work
1️⃣Time Blocking for Energy, Not Tasks
Instead of forcing tasks into slots, I match deep work to my natural peak energy hours. This helps me stay focused and prevents burnout.
2️⃣Build Buffer Zones
Adding 15–30 minutes between calls allows space to reset, jot down notes, and prepare—no more rushing from one meeting to the next.
3️⃣Automate Scheduling
Tools like Calendly eliminate back-and-forth emails and ensure your time is protected.
