INSIGHT

Feeling Like A Slave To The Calendar

ANECDOTE

Benjamin Franklin's Two Deep Work Blocks

  • Ali describes Benjamin Franklin's daily schedule: rise at 5am, two four-hour deep work blocks, and evening reflection.
  • Franklin's plan included morning self-question and evening examination, giving stretched, peaceful white-space.
ADVICE

Add Five Minute White Space Between Meetings

  • Introduce five-minute white-space between meetings to create rest, reflection, or recharge moments.
  • Use short gaps to prepare, make tea, or mentally reset rather than filling them with tasks or phone use.
