Understanding the Impact of a Full Calendar
A consistently full calendar can significantly hinder productivity and overall well-being. It creates an environment where there is little time for deep and focused work, which is crucial for tasks like protocol reviews or complex programming. Additionally, a packed schedule often leads to increased stress levels due to a lack of breaks and the necessity to work through lunch. The opportunity cost is substantial, as valuable time that could be spent innovating or improving processes is instead consumed by ineffective meetings.
