Ever open your calendar, see back-to-back meetings, deadlines, and reminders… and instantly feel stressed? That's not you overreacting—it's your brain doing what it was designed to do. When your lower brain sees a completely packed calendar, it interprets it as a threat. Visual overload triggers a stress response, making it harder to think clearly and decide what matters most. In this week's Smarter in 5 Minutes, I'm sharing why this happens—and a simple way to teach your brain that your calendar isn't the enemy. Listen now — it's just 5 minutes.
