In this short monologue, Shanli Liu, CPA, CTP shares a practical time‑management hack aimed at boosting daily productivity. She explains that she always schedules meetings at the very end of her workday—typically the last 30 minutes before she stops at 5 pm—so she never gives away prime morning slots that would dictate the flow of her day. Additionally, she separates her calendar into distinct meeting‑only days and deep‑work‑only days, ensuring she has uninterrupted blocks for focused, high‑impact tasks while still allocating dedicated time for necessary meetings. The overall message is that controlling when meetings occur and compartmentalising meeting versus work days can preserve peak productivity periods.

Here's the biggest way that I get more out of my day. I start scheduling my meetings when my workday ends. So for example, if someone wants a time and I have an empty calendar and let's say I want to stop at 5, then the slot they're going to get is 4:30 to 5. I'm not going to give them open access to my calendar and I'm certainly not going to give them first slot of the day because it's going to direct how the rest of my day goes. Secondly, I have some days that I dedicate purely for meetings and other days that I dedicate purely for work. And that way I still have the maximum amount of productivity time where I can get the big things done.
