The Calendar Block Method That Cut My Overtime by 40 Percent

Lucas and Luna explore a surprising experiment: a product manager at a mid-size fintech company who blocked 90 minutes each afternoon for deep work—and saw her overtime drop by 40 percent within two months. They unpack why time blocking reduces reactive work, how to defend those blocks from encroaching meetings, and the psychological shift from being always available to being intentionally accessible. Along the way, they discuss Parkinson's Law, the difference between urgent and important tasks, and why many boundary attempts fail because they don't address the root cause: the fear of missing out on career opportunities. Listeners get a concrete framework to try in their own calendars starting tomorrow. #TimeManagement #CareerBoundaries #DeepWork #OvertimeReduction #CalendarBlocking #Productivity #WorkLifeBalance #ParkinsonsLaw #Fintech #ProductManagement #ReactiveWork #ProactiveWork #FearOfMissingOut #BoundarySetting #WorkplaceCulture #Careers #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
