Nir Eyal advises scheduling a brief weekly ritual to revise and reflect on your calendar. He describes blocking 15 minutes on Sunday night to adjust the upcoming week's schedule—allocating more time for tasks that required more time previously and removing excess time from overestimated tasks—to make the calendar easier to follow and help you stay on task.

Chapters

One of the most important things you can put on your calendar is time to revise and reflect upon your schedule. So in my calendar every week on Sunday night, I have 15 minutes to revise my calendar for the week ahead, in which case I look at my calendar for that week ahead and make sure that I can change the calendar so that it becomes easier to follow. I'll make more time for tasks that I know will require time based on last week's experience, or I'll take away time from tasks that I allotted too much time for. This regular process of sitting down and reflecting upon your calendar and revising it accordingly can help you make sure that you stay on task.
