Something { as simples as _13 } a meeting scheduled here will break your afternoon { into _4 } two pieces which are both too small to do anything creative { in _2 } and the rest of your day is { blown _5 }. When you know your { entire _6 } day is free, you soar like a creative { eagle _5 }, yet people are constantly asking to get things get { scheduled in _12 } even when those meetings are not important to what you are creating, what you need to do is { plan _4 } your day like a maker.You see, { managers _8 } rule the world and they go from meeting to meeting { no sweat _8 }. They can meet Jim for coffee just to connect without { ruining _7 } their productivity. And while managers are usually { your boss _9 } and your clients, embracing the manager's schedule is a { disaster _8 }  for makers. Makers need to block { chunks of time _14 } big enough to do real creative work. So, tell people you only meet at { certain _7 } times of the day that you choose and that it's in their best { interest _8 } that you have time to create.
