Scheduling fewer tasks
People who schedule fewer tasks get more done. It forces you to prioritize what’s most important.
Also, scheduling back-to-back items in your calendar doesn’t account for the unexpected. Emergencies will always pop up and if your calendar is packed too tightly, you won’t have the flexibility to handle a crisis without completely trashing your calendar for the foreseeable future.

Add buffers
Schedule free time between tasks and meetings so that you can take a break.
It also avoids hard stops because of time restrictions. Providing yourself with a little wiggle room also prevents you from running late to meetings, like if you got stuck in traffic.

Over-scheduling doesn’t work
it leads us to starve for more time to do everything we need to do. As a consequence, we begin to:
- Hate the things that we used to enjoy.
- Miss out on quality time with the most important people in our life.
- Reduce the number of opportunities that may come our way.
