Stressed. It's nothing major, just half a dozen people trying to get me to change my diary to make their diaries less stressful, and frying my mental bandwidth in the process. With 4 days lost to bank holidays coming up in April/May, plus now taking Fridays as a half day, I simply do not have the capacity to keep constantly shuffling things to make life easier for other people. I change if I can, but it also still takes effort to look and assess and say no if necessary, and then people get pissed off if I don't bend over backwards. Wish people could just stick to the agreed schedule instead of holding a slot in the diary for a month then deciding the week before it would be easier for them if they moved it to x time or day.... It's like playing 4D chess at times, as I have to think several moves/meetings ahead at all times.

Don't let them stress you out - stick to your beliefs, it's good to be a bit flexible but it sounds like they all just want to make their own lives easier, no win/win.
