Don't have anything said as a default alert, because a lot of my calendar items are calendar items with myself. When i set up a time with some one else, were they're interacting with me, I will usually set the calendar an fight in that situation to default of 15 minutes. So right there in the notes, in the text field, i want to just get us all used to the fact that if we're going to get together, there's going to be an agunda there. Oftentimes, by the way, it'll come via emal as well. And so that's a really good way to model for them.
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
