🧪 Tested by a human Intermediate 👤 Manager 👤 Executive 👤 All
Review my calendar for the next two weeks. Reschedule any low-priority or optional meetings to free up at least 2 hours of uninterrupted focus time every day. Keep all meetings with [PRIORITY CONTACTS — my manager / clients / direct reports]. Send polite reschedule requests to affected attendees. Block the freed time as Focus Time in my calendar.
