I check my schedule constantly. I plan my day around it, including all the moving parts of being a dad of 5, BJJ, & a relationship with my partner.
So, when you throw a 10am meeting at me at 9:03am at me the anxiety cascade of it throwing my schedule off is

Had a boss, who was otherwise not bad, schedule an 8AM meeting at 11PM the night before.

Needless to say, almost no one (including me) showed up. That office did not have an early morning culture so most people didn’t even make it in until 9AM or later. He was puzzled about why no one showed up because he was a morning person and would’ve seen the meeting request at 4 or 5AM.

I and a few others explained to him that generally most people don’t even look at their email until they get into the office at 9AM unless there is an emergency.

After that, he was better.
