Communication is the toughest problem to solve in human history.

This assumes that both participants have their calendars under control and in their mind. This is impossible for someone like myself so I heavily lean on my EAs or automated scheduling tools for individuals to schedule time with me.

Making the assumption you work in software and not in sales. Do you need that many meetings? It feels if your calendar seems uncontrollable, you probably need to start say no to meetings.
I’m in management. The meetings are crucial so my teams can be productive.

It’s impossible to keep my calendar in my head because I require a mandatory 4 days of notice before scheduling a one off meeting so I would be tasked with keeping the next 30 days of events to be able to schedule time on my own.
