How do you manage your cal/time? 

I'm in back to back to backs, not giving myself the space for deeper work or thought. 

I know "blocking out time for deep work" is part of the solution, but a super important meeting always emerges and fills that spot. 

What are your strategies for prioritization or saying no?

Make something people want to be a part of

all my calls are either weekly, biweekly, or every-four-weekly, and I bundle them into overlapping cycles, so e.g.:

Week 1: weekly and biweekly
Week 2: weekly only
Week 3: weekly and biweekly and four-weekly
Week 4: weekly only

means that weeks 2 & 4 are mostly clear for deep-work/thought

I work for Ethereum at the Ethereum Foundation.

also, scheduling out my whole week ahead of time (what I will be working on when) means I don't have to stop and think about what I should be doing every spare minute, I've already thought about it and made (hopefully good) decisions.
