What is the Fix the Recurring Calendar Overload Before course about?

Every Sunday night, the recurring all-hands template reactivates, overwriting protected focus time with no conflict alerts. You catch it Monday morning, triggering a chain of reschedules, stakeholder pings, and buffer stripping. This pattern repeats monthly with off-cycles, executive 1:1s, and board prep windows. The calendar tool doesn’t enforce priority tiers, so everything defaults to equal weight. You spend 3+ hours weekly firefighting.
