Define the role

Review recurring meetings, preparation blocks, travel, focus time, and standing one-to-ones. Mark each block by the decision or relationship it supports.

Set the operating model

Look for meetings that have lost their owner, repeat the same update, or leave no time to prepare. Bring proposed changes with a reason and a clear replacement plan.

Choose with care

Confirm the next quarter's protected time with the executive and affected stakeholders. Calendar rules work only when people know which exceptions require approval.
