A calendar is all about intention. It's about making decisions about what's most important, least the best i can see. Open loops are an expression used a lot in writing about productivity. So if we don't have that opportunity to identify those open loops and then get them into project management system on my personal intospere I know when i've had tornados like this before. And so if you never go back to look at past meetings, past classes, past things tht we've done...then it doesn't matter how good or bad your day has been because there will always be something better for us to do next.
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.
