when you start/end work each day and which days you want to have
meetings -(for example, you can choose to have Monday and Tuesday
as your days off, or if you want to have more meetings on certain
weekends so that you have 1 or 2 weekends completely free, that's
doable as well. It's up to you on how you want to structure your
