Most calendars are not too small, they are too crowded, packed with commitments made in moments of guilt or good intentions that never quite fit real life. This is a clear way to prune them back: how to spot the obligations that drain more than they give, a simple test for what deserves your time, and the practice of saying no without over-explaining. Steady, direct, and genuinely freeing.
