I guess my little luxury is eating lunch.

Time is the great luxury, and something I wasn't really focused on. This meant I have not been focused on my physical health because work took priority between 7.30 and 5.30.
So I book off lunch every day. I work through it at least twice a week, but going for a walk/bike/workout is so nice.
That's not it though. I also block off a bunch of times each week with recurring meetings just for me to get stuff done. So far nobody has noticed. What's great is I am actually more available as I can open these times up for urgent stuff. I find this lets me focus on what's important vs. getting into a bunch of meetings that are low priority.
Finally, I have also changed my calendly for most people so that i'm only free on Wednesdays. this means to book a meeting that isn't urgent / important, you're probably booking 2-3 weeks out, which means a lot more emails instead of meetings.
I have an 'urgent' meeting calendly link that gets my entire calendar that I give when necessary, but that's like 5% of the time.
