NOTE

Effective Meeting Scheduling Heuristic

Implement the 'one for you, one for me' meeting scheduling heuristic to maintain flexibility and productivity. Block off time for personal work equivalent to the time spent in meetings each week. This approach preserves flexibility in meeting scheduling and helps manage a heavy meeting culture. By using this heuristic, individuals can balance their time between meetings and personal work effectively, without restricting meeting times based on rigid rules, such as avoiding mornings or Mondays and Fridays. Adjusting the ratio of meeting time to personal work time allows individuals to adapt to different work demands, making the calendar a tool for productivity rather than a hindrance.
