Week Ahead

Each Friday or Saturday, I look at the week ahead.

Is there open space in the week?

Can I secure those blanks for deep work?

I put a calendar appointment in that space.

It shows as "busy."

I protect this time for

👉 deep work and

👉 emergencies.

Let's be real: sometimes, this time gets hijacked.

That is okay.

Because, on days when the time remains mine, my productivity is typically improved, making up for days and weeks when I have less open time.

How can you take advantage of blank space in your calendar in the week ahead?
