Navigating Calendar Changes and Prioritizing Relationships at Work

Changing your calendar reflects your priorities, not deprioritizing people. Maintaining social capital and relationships at work requires being intentional about time management. It's important to communicate openly with colleagues about changes in meeting schedules and set expectations for a temporary time period. Conducting surveys to gather feedback on meetings can help in understanding others' perspectives. Viewing schedule changes as temporary beta tests and keeping lines of communication open can ensure that colleagues feel valued and understood. Being transparent about schedule changes and offering alternative ways to connect, such as office hours, can help in maintaining relationships and ensuring availability.
