When something's tentative, you write in capital letters, t, e, n, t, cole and whatever in your calendar. If there's a zoom or conference link, i'll put that in that link field. Most of the invites that i do are through a separate system where other people are involved on usacuity scheduling for a separate system. I try to model the fact that we're going to put right there in the name of the calendar event. What it we're doing? Are scussin, write colin, create colin, call colinwt, what is primary reason for blocking off just one person’s time but actually wanting at least two people
Bonni and Dave Stachowiak talk about intentional calendaring on episode 421 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.
Quotes from the episode
A calendar can be really helpful because you’ve done some planning in advance to see what is most important for you to do and how much time that is likely to take.
-Dave Stachowiak
When you have a calendar you’re not making decisions every single hour of every single work day about where you are going to put your energy next. This causes a lot of decision fatigue.
-Dave Stachowiak
A calendar is all about intention, about making decisions about what is most important.
-Dave Stachowiak
