ADVICE

Choose Now Over Future Scheduling

  • When deciding whether to schedule something, consider doing it now instead of pushing it into the future.
  • Doing it now avoids extra scheduling work and frees your future self to manage her own time.
INSIGHT

Future Self Is Not Necessarily Freer

  • Your future self is often just as busy as your present self because new obligations appear.
  • Expect future calendars to fill up with unpredictable responsibilities like covering for colleagues or illness.
ADVICE

Use In-the-Moment Availability

  • If someone has your attention, use that moment to handle the request rather than scheduling it later.
  • Ask whether they can talk right then or answer their questions immediately when possible.
