Is there such a job where you’re not inundated by meetings?
Were it so easy.
As someone who is often trying to schedule C-level people in meetings, I can honestly promise there is no such thing as a "free slot". Eventually, one offers a decent meeting time and let the invitees sort out their own priorities.
The screenshot graphic on the home page didn't show up in my web browser but the apple store listing shows what it looks like.
I've known people that would use this so I expect they'll sell quite a few.
Made me laugh thinking about them.
Maybe there is no need to create fake items. Maybe one should schedule calendar items "Making X", "Implementing Y", "Researching Z"... for own best hours everyday and leave a couple of acceptable gaps for meetings?
No one has complained yet and in fact I even put down lunch breaks in there now to. It's cut down on excess meetings I have to attend and more importantly i'm able to have some control over time with projects where it may take an hour to get really into it.
Literally just out of a block of "Focus on Design Validation" (currently in a conference call).
But yeah, make appointments for yourself.
I'd absolutely use this to block off some time for project work, and I have no reason not to label the events honestly ("Blocked off" or "Project X").
