My calendar looks like a Tetris level where the blocks are labeled 'discuss,' 'align,' and 'sync'. I'm losing the game of finding time to actually do any work. Anyone know how to push back and get some more of your working time back?

Are you in private practice? This sounds more like in-house life at some companies. Meetings all day and then you have to do the actual work on nights and weekends.

Preemptively block off chunks of time on your calendar to work on projects.

I sometimes outright decline meetings if there isn't a clear agenda provided in advance (and if I do receive an agenda in time, it gives me the opportunity to decline saying "looks like the information is better shared in an email")

Hi all,
Been doing privacy for about a year now in-house. Got my CIPP/US.
Having major imposter syndrome still. I feel like the minute I finally have a grasp, something changes. The law and nuances just seem overwhelming. Maybe it’s just a lack of guidance/uniformity in the US. I’m not sure if I feel this way because it is simply the nature of the work or because I’m just not capable.
