eff Weiner is a busy dude.
As the CEO of LinkedIn, he has a constant pull of to-dos, and as leaders often do, he has days of meeting after meeting after meeting. Realizing he had little time to think, he opted for what first felt like an "indulgence": he started scheduling nothing.
Writing on his LinkedIn page (naturally), Weiner explains that his scheduling nothing are his "buffers," that is, 30- to 90-minute blocks of time without meetings. And rather than a kind of indulgence, Weiner realized the free spaces were "absolutely necessary" for him to do his job--as Bill Gates and Warren Buffett would agree.
