Dear Andrea Csilla,

Last week, I shared a tip about Focus Friday. Today, let’s talk about the power of your calendar—because if you don’t fill it, someone else will.

Here’s the truth: A well-organized calendar isn’t just a tool; it’s your shield against chaos. When you proactively schedule your tasks, meetings, and even personal time, you’re much more likely to complete what matters most.

Why It Works:
1️⃣ Clarity: A full calendar ensures that every hour has a purpose.
2️⃣ Focus: By pre-scheduling important tasks, you avoid wasting time deciding what to do next.
3️⃣ Boundaries: A planned day prevents others from filling your time with their priorities instead of yours.

Your Action Step:

• Open your calendar and block time for your top priorities this week.

• Use color coding to differentiate between work/project-related tasks, meetings, and personal activities.

For example, I love using a colorful calendar to visualize my day and week. If I don’t see enough personal time (marked in yellow), I know I need to adjust my schedule to avoid fatigue and burnout.
