Reflection
Treat a solo meeting as a deliberate appointment with yourself. Block a slot on your calendar designated for planning, review, or focused work so it carries the same weight as a conversation with someone else.
Begin with a short agenda: one priority to advance, a quick review of what's blocking you, and a two-minute plan for next steps. Turn off notifications, set a timer, and use a notebook or simple template to capture decisions so the time stays productive and calm.
For introverts, these meetings create predictable quiet and reduce the scramble before or after social interactions. Over time they become a small ritual that protects attention and makes external meetings easier to manage.
