In this episode I speak with Antoinette Beauchamp about Intuitive Scheduling and the ability to trust your inner compass for timing on meetings, launching projects and how to calendar your time in general. She talks about how to avoid burnout by blocking one-hour chunks in your day where you do something that brings you joy, instead of booking in a full day of meetings. She says that everyone is excited about a cancellation, because our lives are too full; therefore, there’s no reason to feel guilty when you cancel a meeting if it’s not the right timing. She talks about understanding the different cycles that you experience during the day, and limiting the number of times you do certain activities, like appointments. She describes the freedom of scheduling 2-hour blocks of what she calls ‘intuitive time’ (minus your phone) that allow for flashes of insight. We also talk about delegating, hiring/firing and the fear of being “too much”.
