About this listen
"The mere consciousness of an engagement will sometimes worry a whole day." — Charles Dickens
In 2009, Paul Graham identified the conflict between the "Manager's Schedule" (hourly blocks) and the "Maker's Schedule" (long, uninterrupted runways). In this episode, Cameron explores the concept of "Calendar Conformity"—the dangerous organizational habit of forcing creatives into a grid that destroys their flow.
Whether you are a leader or a creator, this episode invites you to protect the spaciousness required for deep work.
