Even before I had an assistant, my calendar was color-coded and I had all these different e-mail rules for how to prioritize e-mails, so I made it a point years ago to figure all that stuff out because my life was a mess.

I never got into using my phone's calendar. It's easier to write in my Tiffany day planner. There's something charming about having a datebook.
I have an assistant who's very good at email, so I don't struggle with it.
You have to calendar time for yourself even if you have no idea what you're going to do with it.
I've never been one of those who wanted to fill my calendar up 90 percent of the time.
You are right that I don't have a lot of spare time because I love to stay busy and keep my calendar full.
I keep an elaborate calendar for my characters detailing on which dates everything happens. I'm constantly revising this as I go along. It gives me the freedom to intricately plot my story, knowing it will at least hold up on a timeline.
I don't make my own schedule - it's constructed around my sons' school schedules.
I drew a picture on the back of a calendar in pencil. In those days they used to give out free calendars, I had no art paper, so I took whatever else I could.
I'm so organised. I never screw up. I've done it maybe twice before. I check my calendar seven times a day.
I use a really simple calendar program on my computer.
