Breaking Free from the Grind
Ep #164 - Taking Back Control of Your Calendar: Part I - Relevancy Filters
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You’re double, triple… even quadruple booked.
Your entire day is meetings.. yet your real work keeps getting pushed to “later.”
And somehow… you end the day exhausted, but still behind.
And it feels like your calendar is running your life… not the other way around.
But what if the problem isn’t your calendar at all?
In this week’s BFG episode, I’m diving in to discuss:
- Why trying to “fix” your calendar with better systems keeps failing—and how the real issue is your default yes and lack of intentional decision-making around your time
- How constantly attending meetings is often a safety behavior (not a necessity)—and the hidden cost it’s creating in your visibility, thinking time, and leadership growth
- The difference between managing your calendar vs. leading through your calendar—and how to start filtering what actually requires you vs. what you’ve just gotten used to showing up for
If your calendar is packed, your days feel reactive, and you’re constantly running from meeting to meeting…
This episode will help you understand why it’s happening—and what needs to change first before any tool, system, or productivity hack will actually work.
