Effective Calendar Usage in GTD
- Use your calendar only for time-specific, day-specific actions, and day-specific information.

Manage Full Calendars Proactively

- Regularly review meetings for necessity, delegation, or cancellation to free up focus time.
Schedule Weekly Focus Time

- Make time for reflection and weekly review to improve decision-making and focus.
