It's Time For Calendar Zero

Protect your time like the precious resource it is. Here's a simple way to start.

It's Time For Calendar Zero

Remember when "inbox zero" was everyone's goal? The idea was that, someway and somehow, it was possible to clear your thoughts by clearing your inbox.

As I write this, I have 131 unopened emails waiting for me. Inbox zero is a fantasy, and I accept that. I have come to believe that we should not define our success by (or tie our sanity to) things we cannot control ourselves. If anyone can email us-you could email me right now!-then the number of emails in our inbox at any given moment is out of our control.

So instead of shooting for inbox zero, I have shifted my goal to something that is within my grasp. It's called "Calendar Zero."

This is my term for a day without meetings. It is a day to do deep work, to think without interruptions, and then, when the time comes, to take care of your body and mind as well.
