Your Calendar Is Gaslighting You
The Time Trap Keeping You Stuck
There’s this moment, I imagine you’ve felt it, too.
You sit down to look at the week ahead. Maybe it’s Sunday evening, maybe early Monday morning.
You open your calendar, expecting to feel organized. Maybe even hopeful.
Instead, your stomach tightens.
The days are already full.
Appointments. Deadlines. Errands. Responsibilities.
Little colored blocks neatly stacked against one another, each demanding your time and attention.
And you think to yourself, or maybe you don’t say it aloud, but you feel it: How is this all supposed to fit?
But you convince yourself it will.
Because the calendar makes it look so orderly, so manageable.
It’s only 30 minutes, you tell yourself.
Only an hour here, an hour there.
Look at all that white space in between!
But by midweek, you’re drained.
The "white space" didn’t feel spacious at all.
You used that time to recover from the first half of the day. You handled things the calendar never accounted for: the hard conversation that lingered, the mental fatigue from decisions, the energy lost in transitions.
Your calendar never showed you that part.
It made you believe you had time, but it never asked whether you had energy.
This is how it happens. Quietly.
Week after week.
Your calendar gaslights you into thinking: You have space. You can handle this. Just manage your time better.
But the truth is: your calendar has been lying to you.
You’re not just reading another post, you’re stepping toward a life of healing habits.
