Modern professionals aren’t just busy—they’re drowning in commitments, double-booked calendars, and endless back-to-back meetings. But what if you could triage your schedule the way a surgeon triages patients: focusing on what matters most, cutting away the clutter, and restoring balance to your day?
This book provides a research-backed yet practical approach to calendar triage, showing you how to prioritize, reset, and design your time with clarity. With a casual but authoritative tone, it blends behavioral science, productivity research, and real-world strategies to help professionals escape from overwhelm without sacrificing results.
You’ll learn how to identify “time leaks,” create buffers for focus, manage energy instead of hours, and build a calendar that serves you—not the other way around. Backed by evidence but written with refreshing simplicity, this guide is both a toolbox and a wake-up call for busy professionals.
Step out of survival mode. Step into a calmer, more controlled, and more effective rhythm of work and life.
