Hey everyone, I’ve been struggling with the non-stop travel routine this quarter. Flying to three different cities every week is killing my energy, and I keep missing personal commitments. Tried grouping meetings by region manually, but it’s impossible to coordinate. Does anyone have a sustainable system for minimizing travel days while keeping clients happy? How do you protect your time without looking uncommitted?
save yourself the trouble - clients will ALWAYS want face time. tried the “geoclustering” thing last year. ended up with 8am meetings in Miami followed by 5pm in Seattle. management talks optimization but really just wants billable hours. pro tip: whiskey helps more than any app
my team uses some mapping tool idk? but still got sent denver → atlanta → chicago last week 
maybe ask ur pm about radius filters? #clueless
Three strategies that worked for me: 1) Negotiate quarterly ‘circuit’ schedules with aligned clients 2) Book hotels near regional airport hubs for multi-day coverage 3) Use calendar analytics to identify redundant trips. It requires upfront client education about response timelines, but reduces my travel days by 40%.
you’ve got this! 
try stacking meetings in hub cities tues-weds! clients understand if you explain it’s for better focus! stay sparkling!
Analysis of 127 consultants showed optimal clustering within 150-mile radii reduces average weekly transit time by 6.2 hours. Tools like TravelBank auto-flag compatible meetings. However, 68% report client resistance to date changes.
