Just because I have an available time on my calendar doesn’t mean I’m available. Do you block out a lot of “working time” on your calendar, or do you leave it open?

I always block my calendar for focus hours, just so I can get things done. I don't like to change my lunch hours either.. So, I block time for each thing important to me: lunch, focus hours, and time to check on the team.

And what if someone asks if those focus hours are “flex hours”? Do you budge or are you super firm on those boundaries

Definitely block out my mornings for my individual work time. I have a few recurring meetings during the mornings but any other time, I am blocking out. I reserve some open afternoon time for random meetings

Block out my first hour as well, I don’t want to hit the ground running in a meeting first thing. I like peace of mind

I always block out working time. Nothing throws off my day like having to jump on an unplanned Zoom. You'd be surprised how many "quick chats" you can avoid by adding blocks into your schedule. I highly recommend it.

It is one of the most aggravating things when people do this…. Quick chats end up being 1 hour of chatter that could have been a very detailed email.

Home reno financing question. Have a big project coming up in the $120-150k range. Funding sources are:
- 90k from a heloc around prime
- 10k from a credit card that offers promo checks at 2-3% for 12-18 months
- 375k in a brokerage
- 5-6k per month cash that I can put towards the project, loans, or brokerage

I don't want to stop funding the brokerage because my FIRE plan is less numbers based than "hoard like dragon until it's enough" but maybe I should... How would you optimize?
