I'm actually looking for a snappier name for this. It's the general principle that people are only available for meetings when I'm already booked and people only call when I can't talk. Seriously.
Drastic action is lurking in the sidewings of my mind. Action like only taking 1 meeting a week. Action like becoming a hermit. Drastic measures.

Congrats for attacking this problem so early in your life. It took me decades. Here are principles to consider:
1. Learn to use the word no. Not all good things are things for you to do.
2. Learn to filter all phone calls. You can return calls later. Anyone who loves you won't mind; the rest don't matter; many will never know!
3. Learn to prioritize. Your priorities, which are the result of prayer, must come first.
4. Schedule yourself on your calendar first. Don't forget that you need meetings with God and with yourself. Others don't need to know what meetings you have. Keep your calendar confidential.
5. Remember that everyone has a plan for your life. You are only responsible for God's plan.
6. You can only be helpful to others when you are taking good care of yourself.
I know this takes guts for me to write, but think about how much progress I've made!
Snappier Name: Scheduling Sanity
