The problem

When an executive's calendar is managed on the fly, meetings pile up back to back, there is no time left for focused work, and calls across time zones get booked at the wrong hour.

What I did

  1. Protected 9.5 hours of focus time in the week, with no meetings allowed.
  2. Added 15-minute buffers between meetings, so the day never runs late.
  3. Booked calls across WAT, GMT and EST with no clashes.
  4. Colour-coded the calendar: client, internal, focus, admin and personal.
  5. Set clear rules: lunch blocked daily, no more than 4 meetings a day, and an agenda and video link on every invite.
