A New York-based CEO and serial entrepreneur swears by carving out 2 'focus days' a week where he doesn't attend meetings. Here's how he works them into his routine

The manager's schedule is for bosses and follows a pattern where each day is cut into half-hour to one-hour intervals, and by default the manager is expected to change what they're doing every hour to attend to different matters of the business.

Although a manager's schedule can help distribute my capacity to unlock bottlenecks in verticals of the company, I also need focus time to strategize and steer the company toward the right direction. On my focus days, I spend my morning before 8:30 a.m. sending and responding to emails and messages to make sure I'm not the blocker on any workflows.

Then I categorize my to-dos into four quadrants: important and urgent, important and not urgent, not important and urgent, and not important and not urgent. Upon prioritizing my list of to-dos, I catch up on messages again for 30 minutes at 10:30 a.m. to sync with my team ahead of their day.
