The Proactive Approach to Time Protection
You can't block off all your free time, there's no time left for any meetings. So the pro active approach is block off sometime tat protect yourself. But you also have to leave a lot of time free for the meetings that still have to happen. This then puts us into a common situation where you're now leaving half your day free so that there's flexibility for schedule changes. The second hack i'm going to give here is reactive time protection. In response to every meeting that gets scheduled on a day, immediately go and block off and protect an equal duration meeting for just your own time.
