The Day I Realized My Calendar Was Lying to Me

A few months ago, I sat down to review my week and something hit me.

My calendar looked full... but my progress felt empty.

I had attended every meeting. Answered every email. Checked every task off my list.
But none of it was moving the needle.

That’s when I made a decision:
If it doesn’t tie directly to a priority or a Power List task, it doesn’t belong.

I started:

• Declining meetings that didn’t have clear outcomes.

• Batching all minor tasks into two time slots per day.

• Building protected blocks for deep work—and honoring them like non-negotiable appointments.

The difference? Night and day.
✅ Less reactivity.
✅ More control.
✅ Real momentum.

Your calendar isn’t just a tool.
It’s a mirror.
And if you don’t like what you see… it’s time to change the reflection.
