In the remote trenches, your calendar is a battlefield, and "quick syncs" are the landmines. If you’re not careful, you’ll spend your whole day in Zoom-purgatory instead of actually producing work. A veteran knows that every meeting is a tax on your focus, and the CRA (IRS) isn't the only one trying to take a cut of your time.
* Default to Async: If it can be an email, make it a Slack. If it can be a Slack, make it a Notion doc.
* The "No-Agenda, No-Attenda" Rule: If there isn't a clear objective, I’m "washing my cat" (digitally speaking).
* Time-Boxing: Treat your focus hours like a vault. If you don't set boundaries, someone else will set them for you—and they won't be in your favour.
Work shouldn't feel like a never-ending game of tag where you're always "it." Protect your peace, or lose your mind.
