Your Calendar Is a Liar (Until You Do This)

You look at your calendar and think, “Yeah, I’ve got a plan.”
But by 3 PM, it’s clear: your calendar lied to you.

Back-to-back meetings you never should’ve accepted.
Time blocks for “focus” that you blew past.
No margin. No flexibility. No real progress.

Your calendar looked productive—but it wasn’t built around how you actually work.

Let’s fix that.

Step 1: Identify the block you always skip

Is it that 2-hour “deep work” session you move every day?
That fake buffer between calls you never protect?

Call it out. That’s your calendar lying to you.

Step 2: Rename it to match what actually happens

If you’re always responding to Slack at 2 PM, don’t pretend it’s “strategy time.”
Own the reality—or rebuild the intention.

Step 3: Protect one block that gives you life

One hour. Just for deep work, or rest, or momentum.
Name it clearly. Color-code it. Treat it like a meeting with your future self.

Your calendar isn’t the problem.
It just needs to stop pretending you’re a machine.

Fix one block today—and build something that actually reflects you.
