i’m hitting a wall trying to keep any consistency with workouts or meal prep this quarter. client fires drills and last-minute site visits keep derailing my plans. even tried waking up at 5am, but time zones wreck that when projects go global. what real-world solutions actually work for protecting personal time without getting side-eyed by leadership? specifically looking for ways to automate schedule adjustments if that’s even possible.
