Everything you need to know about Calendar Detox.
Popular Questions
How quickly will I see results? Popular+−
Most people reclaim 4-8 hours in the first week. The 30-minute setup process has you canceling, shortening, or batching meetings immediately. You'll feel the difference on your first calm Friday. The full transformation—where boundaries become automatic and meetings respect your time by default—typically takes 7-10 days of consistent use.
Do I need any special tools or software?+−
No. Calendar Detox works with whatever calendar and communication tools you already use (Google Calendar, Outlook, Slack, Teams, etc.). The system is about changing how you manage meetings, not adding new software. The templates, scripts, and worksheets are all delivered digitally and work with any setup.
What if my team or boss resists my new boundaries? Popular+−
This is exactly why we include the "First Pushback Responses" library. You'll have word-for-word scripts for every common objection: "You used to be always available," "This is urgent," "Can you make an exception?" The key is framing boundaries as professional standards, not personal preferences. We also include a Communications Policy template to make the transition smooth for everyone.
How long does the setup actually take? Popular+−
The core setup takes 30 minutes: run your meetings through the decision tree, set up your Office Hours block, place your Red-Zones, and copy your first scripts. Some tools (like the Value Calculator) take just 2 minutes. Others (like the full Calendar Triage) might take 10-15 minutes if you have many recurring meetings. You can do everything in one sitting or spread it across a few sessions.
Will this work for my industry/role?+−
Calendar Detox has worked for consultants, executives, coaches, managers, founders, and freelancers across dozens of industries. The principles—batching, async defaults, protected focus time—are universal. The scripts come in three tones (Friendly, Direct, Executive) so you can match your culture. If your job involves too many meetings and not enough time for real work, this will help.
What if I can't control my calendar?+−
Even in the most meeting-heavy cultures, you have more control than you think. The Decision Tree helps you identify which meetings you can actually influence. The 25/50 Rule works even when you're not the meeting owner. Office Hours give people an alternative to ad-hoc requests. Start with what you can control—you'll be surprised how quickly others adapt to your new standards.
Is there ongoing support or coaching included?+−
Calendar Detox is a self-service toolkit designed to be used independently. The instructions are clear, the templates are ready to copy, and the scripts cover the most common scenarios. If you want hands-on coaching and accountability, the 90-Day Authority Protocol includes direct support and is the natural next step after Calendar Detox.
Do you offer refunds? Popular+−
We stand behind Calendar Detox. If you complete the tools and don't see improvement in your calendar within 14 days, contact us with a summary of what you tried and we'll work with you to troubleshoot—or issue a full refund. We want this to work for you.
What's the difference between Calendar Detox and the 90-Day Authority Protocol?+−
Calendar Detox is the foundation—a quick-win pack that reclaims your time and protects your calendar in 30 minutes. The 90-Day Authority Protocol builds on that foundation with premium offer design, authority asset creation (like a book), and a two-channel pipeline for attracting qualified clients. Calendar Detox creates the space; the Authority Protocol fills it with high-value work.
Can I share this with my team?+−
Your purchase includes a single-user license. If you want to roll out Calendar Detox to your whole team, contact us about team licensing—we offer volume discounts. Many managers find it helpful to implement personally first, see results, then introduce the system to their teams.
