What if your calendar could help you reclaim your time instead of feeling like a never-ending to-do list?

In this second part of my conversation with Noor Barrage, Productivity Coach, Business Systems Consultant, and Founder of NVB Collective, we dive deeper into practical strategies for taking control of your schedule, setting boundaries, and making your calendar work for you—not the other way around. Noor shares how high performers often fall into the trap of constant busyness, why decision fatigue kills productivity, and how to build a system that prioritizes both your work and your well-being.

Key Takeaways:

• How to reframe your calendar as a sacred space for priorities, not just meetings
• The power of decision-making discipline and treating scheduled tasks as non-negotiables
• Why high achievers struggle with procrastination—and how to overcome it
• Simple systems to reduce overwhelm and get things done without burnout

This episode is filled with eye-opening insights and practical tools to help you break free from the cycle of busyness and create a more intentional, productive, and fulfilling work life.
